Audi vs Bentley

[wt_know]

an audi drive like a bentley that costs £180,000
audi = glorified vw
so, just buy vw and self claimed the car perform as good as audi and bentley ... "it's in the family" and vw is the owner ... hehe

BMW is the best
BMW group = BMW, Mini and Rolls-Royce

I'm sure everyone here knows the Volkswagen portfolio. They own 12 principle automakers and their respective corresponding marques.

Some of the famed automakers they own include, Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, Skoda, Seat and more recently Porsche and Ducati. They also have around 20 percent stake in Suzuki on top of partial ownership of other brands.

Re: Audi vs Bentley

I was just abt to say audi =glorified vw was a stupid comment and googled it and hey in fact many really believe that.

Audi was acquired by vw, not grown by vw.... in the same group you also have the "overglorified" lambo... Different from lexus/toyota... but oh well. You are perfectly entitled to your opinions.

VW owns Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Skoda and Seat. Porsche is technically still its own independent company (and much smaller than VW)

However there have long been ties both politically and engineering wise between the Porsche and VW (Toureg/Cayenne).

Also as is common in Germany, there are power families that own huge interests in both Porsche and VW and the heads of these two respective companies are in fact cousins.

What has happened lately is: Porsche has been buying increasing amounts of VW stock. At the time of this article they are up to 35%. In other words its like a whale being eaten by a tuna.

The tiny Porsche company is slowly increasing its holding in VW until presumably they will have a controlling stake or a majority, giving them massive control and influence over the European/Global auto industry.

As part of German law, VW had been protected from this type of buyout for a long time, but with these protections lifted recently by their government, Porsche is poised to take a majority stake.

As part of the rules in Germany, when a Porsche acquires a controlling stake in VW, they must make an offer to buy Audi. Which they did (At a lowball price that VW refused). This is merely a technicality based on the regulations and Porsche has stated they are not interested in separating Audi from the VW group. After all if they have a controlling stake in VW, they will automatically have a controlling interest in Audi anyways.

Thats an old article. Porsche tried to buy over VW but in the end kenna snook and got taken over by VW.

Volkswagen AG purchased the remaining stake in Porsche AG equaling 100% of the shares in Porsche Zwischenholding GmbH, effectively becoming its parent company as of 1 August 2012

​

Porsche secretly began acquiring options to buy VW shares in 2008 but repeatedly dismissed speculation that its ambition was to acquire a 75 per cent stake that would allow it to impose a domination and profit-transfer agreement.
However, prosecutors claim the two executives had by February 2008 at the latest determined that they would seek a domination of VW the following year.


Porsche’s public statements, prosecutors claim, caused some investors to sell short VW stock.
When the true extent of Porsche’s options position was revealed in October 2008, VW shares surged as hedge funds betting on a fall in VW’s share price were forced to cover short positions.


VW later turned the tables on Porsche. The two carmakers planned to merge but the legal risks associated with investor lawsuits and legal investigations forced the suspension of that plan in 2011.
Instead, VW took over Porsche’s carmaking operations, which it absorbed in August as its 12th brand.

+ Audi = glorified VW
Skoda/SEAT = economical VW


nuyahahahahaha

Re: Audi vs Bentley

Buy pure breeds like F and Mclaren lah.. like this people will not say you are driving a VW when you actually drive a L or P. End of debate and this can shove those who said "hey you know my Beetle shares the same technology as a Lambo....." zzz.

Thank you 458.
