Let's hope Wolfi will take a more serious approach to the largest car

Volkswagen is the larger company here.  There really is no
comparison.  Volkswagen is a HUGE company:

Audi
Lamborghini (sort of)
Bentley

There's more, too.  They're like the GM of Germany.  The third largest
car company in the world (GM and Toyota are 1 and 2, respectively).

You realize Porsche and VW were founded by the same family, you are just
looking at basically different branches of the same tree. Now the 'other'
branch is taking over.

My brothers do not think exactly the same way as I do. There could be
2 or 3 generations from the pre WWII origins of VW. Slight management
shift might mean nothing. I doubt VWoA is going to change much which
is the influence I purchase from.
