This seems to be getting nasty / messy...! Is the merger worth it? I mean what synergies would result? Would it be a bit like British Leyland decades ago?

I wonder if Daimler is going to step in? Years ago when Porsche was in trouble, senior leadership said that they wouldn't want to let an opportunity to buy Porsche to pass them by.

I really hope they stop all Porsche models and keep focus only on 911 sport cars. keep the rest of business as share holder in VW.

don't get me wrong, i love the 911 but cars like the Boxster saved the company, and the Cayenne doubled their profits allowing them to improve the 911 which is (let's admit) completely flawed in its design. however, there is no excuse for the Panamera and it should be outlawed.

Nobody needs 911 for real. Porsche survives by selling Cayennes only. Sad truth.

they would not sell Cayennes without the reputation that the 911 built.

this is being dragged out way too long, they should just finish it already.

Bizarre that Porsche were looking to apporpriate VW when it's the latter that's doing far better.
