"As soon as Porsche supplements its Volkswagen portions on a majority of 50 per cent, the clan from Zuffenhausen will stress altogether five mandates in the Wolfsburger control committee. Thus not enough: Also on the supervisory board of the valuable Volkswagen subsidiary AUDI it Porsche foresaw: Here Wiedeking and hardeners are over the model politics and mark positioning of the Ingolstaedter are in the future awake. With racing cars like the R8, which is well for the prestige, but rather bad for the net yield, it could be then rapidly past, is whispered."

"Ingolstadt - the influence of Porsche on the company nut/mother VOLKSWAGEN will not impair AUDI, chief executive said Rupert Stadler on Tuesday in Ingolstadt. "our success gives us liberties", stressed the manager, "we arises self-confidently." Porsche had announced past week to take over the majority at VOLKSWAGEN. VOLKSWAGEN again holds more than 99 per cent of the AUDI shares. Because of the entrance from Porsche, the natives of stuttgart could the further growth of AUDI had been speculated brake, in order to protect the own models competition. The assumption of VOLKSWAGEN by Porsche will become apparent however at least personnel already soon also with AUDI. So Wendelin Wiedeking and its finance executive committee Holger hardener are to draw Porsche boss in May into the supervisory board. Also Volkswagen supervisory board boss and Porsche joint owner Ferdinand Pieech want into the committee. The business of the Ingolstaedter runs approximately. Past year sold 964,000 cars, a plus of 6,5 per cent in the comparison to AUDI to the previous year. The conversion climbed around nearly eight per cent on 33.6 billion euro. For the Volkswagen company, which invited on Thursday to the yearly press conference, AUDI thereby was also 2007 the most important yield bead. Thus those contributed Bavaria scarcely a third to the company turnover of 109 billion euro, gained however with a profit of 2.7 billion euro nearly half of the Volkswagen result, which lay over six billion euro. But still is the Ingolstaedter not, where they want on a long-term basis. AUDI achieved with the result already 2007 its goal of an operational net yield of eight per cent, which had been originally focused only for 2010. The margin was enough nevertheless not completely at Stuttgart competitors the Mercedes near: Mercedes came on an operational margin of 9,1 per cent and wants the net yield until 2010 on ten per cent to increase. With the operational net yield it concerns the operating result before taxes in relation to the conversion. How near AUDI however already moved at Mercedes, a view of the results of the fourth quarter shows: There those were appropriate for Bavaria with 10,7 per cent even easily before Mercedes. The mark with the star created 10.4 per cent. The rival BMW, which submits its results for 2007 only in the coming week, only the third place remains in this running. The residents of Munich likewise planned until 2012 a net yield increase on eight to ten per cent. There was however not even six per cent last. AUDI wants to sell more than one million car in this year for the first time. The signs stand well to achieve the goal: "January and February ran really well", underlined Stadler. BMW set past year off 1.5 million vehicles, Mercedes 1.28 Millionen."
What do you think?
i think if porsche is going to takeover VW and then Audi, audi couldnt build more the cars (supercars, R8 successor....) they want and not the models with the power (hp) they want. it would be the death.
