True, but then who owns Audi?

And since Porsche owns 20% of VW, does that mean Porsche gets an extra Le Mans win to its name???

thought it was the other way arround.. :s
checked it out and ur right...
audi and vw are considered the same company but different brand names...same company differnet products and names..
AND vw/audi owns:
SEAT, Lamborghini, Skoda, Bentley and Bugatti....

um...i dont think porsche can add the lemans win to its name...altleast they should own over 50% in my opinion...

Well, with 20%, because of the voting structure, effectively they have management control, I think. Or at least they can prevent someone else from getting control (which was the whole purpose of the cross-shareholding - Piech & family getting worried that someone could take over VW because of weak financials).

Repost or not, I still laughed.
