Porsche to Aquire 51% stake in VW

Or so it’s rumored. It’s been a long time coming to be honest so it’s not really a surprise. I’m more interested in if they are still planning on taking over Proton/Lotus, but that’s another discussion.

It is interesting to see a one time all out sports car manufacturer become so successful by selling trucks. As much as I hate the idea of Porsche SUVs, if the increased capital helps develop better sports cars, I think I can be OK with it. Perhaps they can help VW develop lightweight fun to drive cars again.

that would be nice

Hmm…Porsche owning Lotus via other avenues…

Not sure how that’d sit with me. May cause some tension with one of my roommates…
