    To be fair, these two cousins have always had designs upon one another. At least now they'll have an official marriage license.

    So first they move to Virginia, then to Tennessee a year later, and now they're already doing it with their cousins. Full Immersion FTW!

    @Ash78: Next thing you know, they're going to start producing vehicles with horrible disfiguring genetic problems.

    Oh, wait. The Panemara is already out.

    Kid with Golf GTI, now boasting a detuned boxer engine: "Hey! You got Macht and Wiedeking in my Klinger and Piëch!"

    Kid with 911, suddenly transformed into a front-engined 928ish thingy: "Hey! You got Klinger and Piëch in my Macht and Wiedeking!"

    I wonder what Prof. Dr. Ing h.c. Ferdinand Porsche would think? We could as his descendants but since they are on the boards of both companies, I'm sure they all think this is a good idea.

    I don't. It means less innovation and another bigger company to fail.

    Auto Union? Somehow I don't think that will help them sell cars in America. That name comes with too much WWII "baggage."

    @ChazzyD: Bigger problem will be convincing Republicans to buy something named 'Union". They'd drum you out of the Banker's Club, and make you park at the remote lot at the country club.

    @ChazzyD: I don't think enough Americans even know what Germany is anymore (a city in Europe?), much less the connotations of Auto Union as a WWII brand.

    Besides, outside of the car biz, how many people even know that VW is called VAG?

    Suddenly the Cayman shooting brake makes sense! They must have designed it to infiltrate Wolfsburg disguised as a golf with glandular problems, and smuggle out shares.

    Didn't GM buy out numerous brands years ago? I wonder how that worked out.

    tomorrow's QOTD: which VW/Porsche brand represents which Captain Planet power?
    My guesses:
    Earth: VW (the commoner)
    Wind: Bentley (creates gusts like a freight train)
    Water: SEAT/Skoda (flimsy)
    Fire: Lamborghini (obvious)
    Heart: Porsche (only a true believer could love them)
    Captain Planet: Bugatti (by your brands combined, I am Captain Bugatti!)
