If you've seen VW flat-bottomed rims. like in my GTI, I don't think you'd mind. Thicker too, and better leather than a stock Boxster steering wheel.
And this deal should mean that instead of lagging years behind VW, Audi and others, it will be much easier for Porsche to cost-effectively acquire/develop technologies like FSI, DSG, etc (still conspicuously missing from our cars) and maybe have the financial resources to develop all new models and new model ranges more quickly, as was pointed out below. Sounds like a win-win to me, hopefully for VW too.
VW builds low-priced cars for reasons that I will assume are obvious; it doesn't mean they are 'cheap' in respect of the technology used.
Other than the two examples above which put the VW family of brands at the head of the class in those important respects, consider some of the similarities under the skin - Engine management system - pretty critical to the car's performance and character, right? Motronic 7.8 in both my VW and my Box.
