Audi will soon be owned by Porsche and great things will happen. VW has held back Audi for too long. I love audi but its fun watching the porsches race along with audi.

Wait, I though VW owned Audi, Porsche, Lamborgini, Bungotti, Bentley, and some companys I forgot to spell and pronounce. I don't understand how and company owned by a bigger company is going to buy out it's sister, but then again, I don't know how marketing works. So, I guess I'll leave it alone.

I thought I read somewhere that Audi owned Lamborghini and Bugatti, as well as a couple others, so take that with a grain of salt. Wikipedia also lists these as subsidiaries of Audi, so I know Lamborghini is:

quattro GmbH,
Lamborghini S.p.A.,
Audi Hungaria Motor Kft
