Can Porsche Shine at Volkswagen?

Article: NY Times: Can Porsche Shine at Volkswagen?

"THE formal merger of Porsche and Volkswagen is not supposed to happen until next year at the earliest, but at the factory here that produces Porsche Cayenne S.U.V.’s, it seems to have started years ago . . ."

"WORRIED devotees can still summon the ghost of Ferry Porsche on YouTube, where in an old promotional film the scion warns of the perils of being part of a big corporation. “Porsche must remain small and independent,” Mr. Porsche, who died in 1998, says as strings swell in the background and drums pound ominously. “No Porsche will ever be created by a committee, but by a handful of people inside these walls who know what a Porsche is.”"
