I am sure this huge profit margin is a direct result of Porsche's cayenne sales. Surely not the sole reason as they are engaged in multiple fields other than road cars. But it is in great Part due to Cayenne sales that they have such financial ease.
I am very happy for porsche. And Buying VW sounds vry good indeed, But not for the reasons you all point out. I think a new Porsche affordable sports car, using say a Golf V platform, would be very interesting indeed.
Or Vice-versa, a new sporty car from VW (much like a corrado or scirroco) using a boxter platform would be brilliant.

if the takeover goes through that could mean trouble for bentley, lamborghini, audi who all currently make direct competitors to porsche (conti GT, Gallardo, Q7) would porsche have any influence to possibly hinder the production of these models or the developement of new one's?

So basically Porsche is overcharging for their products or is it that by sharing all the bits and pieces and technology and more or less keep the same basic shape on all their cars that they keep the car building process cheap and open the door for greater profitibility.
Well, ehy did the study wrong and accounted profits form other operations. But none the less, I would imagine Porsche is still very profitable- which, unfortunately to us, means they are overcharging. Which seems crazy, as Porsches are a "bargain" considered to Ferraris and Lamborghinis even though their performance is consistently equal or better.
the technology cultures are very different. Take your average VW, the passat for example, it does everything you need it to do, but nothing to excite you. Any Porsche is the oposite. Porsche would never use a FF platform because it wouldnt met the performance standards required, VW would nevar waste money developing an expensive rear drive platform becasue it wouldnt sell under VW. take the phaeton - the only thing wrong with it is the badge, (toyota had a similar problem so invented lexus to seperate badge perception) maybe aslo why their W12 Nardo didnt go to production too?
Therefore combining knowledge, money and property but not platforms would be best for VW/Porsche

I thinkt there are many potential options for sharing platforms and technology within VAG and Porsche. Just remeber the Volkswagen alone isn't VAG, they've got Audi, Lamborghini and Bentley too, and I find that cars from those brands with Porsche would be interesting. Furthermore there's some platform sharing already with the Touareg/Cayenne pair.
