Stuttgart, Germany-based Porsche first bought a stake in Volkswagen two years ago, saying it wanted to protect a strategic partnership between the two carmakers. Since 2002, Volkswagen has built the body of Porsche's Cayenne sport-utility vehicle, which shares a platform with the VW Touareg and the Audi Q7.

Volkswagen, now Porsche's largest supplier, will also build the body of the Panamera sports car, which goes on sale in 2009.

Why does Porsche insist on having someone else build their cars? I thought they were called PORSCHES not VOLKSCHE.
