I will get gas, diesel and hybrid engines...

...and two body styles.

Apparently VW execs. think that Marchionne's strategy, based on avoiding group cannibalizing between brands is just a bunch of shit.

Because they don't have a problem with selling the Golf and the Passat, next to the A3 and A4.

When I said that VAG is like GM of old, I wasn't kidding. If they can build 50 cars on the same platform, they will do it, they don't care if those cars go against each other.

Calm down, presuming they are building it, it is still few years away.

I love VAG, but don't understand that from a monetary viewpoint.

I think that's the final solution to make people embrace wagons again. Make them low, wide and sharp.

I see a lot of Mazda 6 in that top image. Overall shape, not necessarily the details.

Coolio. I can see myself trading the VW Phaeton if the real thing looks like that red design. Is very awesome.

using apple as an example, there's nothing really wrong with a brand cannibalizing its own products since profits end up in the same place anyway
