Porsche Plans to buy out VW!

[timothy]

Or maybe something diabolical! Porsche Rabbit anyone?

But seriously, why is VW at the forefront of these developments and not Porsche? Is P-dog too busy expanding their product line and therefore relegated to playing catch-up on FSI, DSG, etc? Perhaps it was their plan all along to acquire instead of develop.

Because a company like VW has the people, the resources, and investment capital to develop these technologies faster, that smaller outfits usually don't.
