i see where you're coming from, but lambo and bugatti, these are true super cars; porsche can already hang with them. bently is on a price hog tangent that the most optioned out s8 can't touch (dig the s8 more, but i've actually been in one so i'm bias). i just think that if the two do merge, they might as well specialize. look at the old lambo suv back in the late 80's. Jazz brought it up about a year ago, i loved that thing promoted as Rambo's Lambo, but it didn't make sense, lambourghini makes super exotics, not trucks and so it bombed. sharing technology would be/ prolly mostly is a huge benefit to all, but model specific designs will keep these cars superior to any Amer/Euro conglomorate should this merger commence. and maybe, as an after affect, vw will more resemble SEAT instead of audi. that would benefit all I think since seat looks better than the current vw design that tries to ride off of audi, but down plays so it doesn't overlap. that way, we would finally get seat exterior design in America which look more sporty.

 

Audi is already using Lambo engines in their lineup. They're probably using a Lambo chassis as the base for the production R8 to cut costs.

 

I believe you are correct.

 

Hey guys,

I just heard that Porsche is coming out with a four door performance car:

All I can say is, it's about time! It looks like the S6 and RS4 are going to have some competition.

 

Ferdinand Piech is the Chairman of VW, not Ferdninand Porsche. Piech is the grandson of The original BIG GUY.
Ferry Porsche, also A grandson runs Porsche. It's all pretty much one big extended family.

 

if it does go through, them buying it out and all, its eaither gonna be really good, or really bad.....

 

So if Porsche buys Audi, does that mean they also get Lamborghini?
