not totally, they don't have it yet, but the European Commission will not block such a deal (for competition reasons)That's very cool. I'm slightly behind then.

Competition reasons? That's an automotive monopoly there, right?
Not that I don't like the products that they come up with though. I'd rather it be them than GM. So will they become the world's largest car company? Or is that GM's title?

well it is already VAG and the EC Competition Commissioner has judged that adding Porsche to VAG widens the range of VAG but not strengthens its competitive position in the areas they are already operating in.

I don't have the numbers but I'd say that VAG isn't even in the top three of largest car companies in terms of production.

Audi needs to bring back the 20v I5 before doing anything else.

They're making far more money than GM and Ford however...

That's because they aren't making any money. At all...

I understand. Because Porsche makes completely different cars from what VW already makes, it's "ok".
That's really surprising that you're right.
Wow, unbelievable. China makes more cars than Germany!
And look at poor UK.
It's even under Mexico.

We in the Uk make up for quantity with Quality. Well at least thats what we'd like to think.
All the UK car makers are going to the wall ROVER, TVR and the rest are now owned by other foreign nations.
Plus we are rubbish at football!

Look at costs in Mexico vs costs in the U.K
