please Mr. Wiedeking you can now become the CEO of Mercedes Benz and work some of that magic there...porsche had to absorp an automaker than built alot of small cars to hit the new fuel ratings...I understand why you did it but a merger of equals would have been better... lol ... now ur just another VW brand

Porsche??? Or rather ONE man, a Wendelin Wiedeking? That above loss also includes his rather extortionate EUR100m+ payoff(?), pension and other benefits. Plus probably development costs, not amortized, on all Porsche cars VW plan to cancel. Plus other crap on the balance sheet they don?t know what it relates to? Meethinks it is in VW?s interest to have that loss as high as possible on acquisition, for tax purposes?

I find it biased that their overall profits were compared per vehicle yet their loss is considered separate. Talk about seeing things with pink sunglasses on.

BMW has an increase in sales compared to October 2008 while Porsche has a deficit.

I cannot see the relation between BMW and this article. Or between BMW and Porsche. Or you just want to share with us your joy as a BMW fan?
