Again Porsche must know something we dont. And also being in the right place at the right time helps.

design looks good but still not sure if they should go through with it

No problem doing that..but they should create another name or something...having a sports-car brand associated to trucks gives a really bad image...- read; mercedes-benz - which their cars drivability are commonly mistaken with their trucks.

Since Porshe wants to take over VW and they have a line of large trucks....seems like they would merge eventually.

VW already controls Scania Trucks. The Porsche deal is only for the remaining shares (about 30% all up).
Also, VW sold off their large truck operations to MAN Trucks last month. VW also own 29.9% of MAN.

Hardboy997, just because Porsche is buying a truck company doesn't mean they are going to badge them as Porsches, calm down.
