Bas, you might be confusing the Audi thing with the purchase of Lambo & Bentley (etc.) a few years ago

Most likely, but that was like 10 years ago
Audi bought Lambo in 1998, and VW bought Bentley the same year.

The companies all share common technologies though, so to say that Audi is basically a Volkswagen with a different shell isn't ridiculous. They do actually share chassis/platforms for some models if I recall correctly? |
I'm not a 100% but I recall that the A4 is a Passat and so on.
Many of the Skoda's and Seat's have the exact same parts as many VW's and Audis. Especially the 'regular' parts like oil filters and such share the same part-number.
Octavia -> Passat
Leon - > Golf (?)
Felicia -> Polo
But as an example of how these platform things can be..
Ford Galaxy, VW Sharan and Seat Alhambra have the exact same platform.

One thing I hate about pot is that if I recall something happening five years ago, it was ten. And if it's yesterday, I still might think it's 5 years ago

Being a total car nut Im not picking sides. Both brands have something to offer from old to new.

Reckon you are thinking of the whole Porsche buying up 90+% of VW then screwing over basically most hedge funds (****s) by selling them shorts on shares only they owned so they couldn't buy them back? And making VW at one point the most valuable company in the world? (lulz)
(also it is all owned, basically by a region of Germany)

theyre both german, its like computers - sometimes they turn on, sometimes they dont. but there isnt a reason.
knobs do drive audis tho. beemers arent much better but the audi thing has been going on longer than top gear has been ranting about it|

This was brilliant.
And Lower Saxony is only around a 20% shareholder in VW.
Those red Audi quattro Sport's on the previous page are dead sexy. I LOVE those. There's a bare quattro Sport shell with all the Group B trimmings for sale online (but no engine ). Ooohhhhh to have money and a place to work again.....

I LOVE the old IMSA 200's. They used the outlawed (and insane) Group B rally motor but without the inlet restrictor
That truck is full of gold too. Damn!!! 1st gen quattro Group B and a quattro Sport (looks like later evo or Pikes Peak one with the little winglets)
