Do you think? Interesting.
So, John, how do you feel about a car as utterly magnificent as the Murcielago SV then? Do you really think it would have ever existed without Audi's backing?
I can see that from a nostagic angle it's a sad day, but otherwise I see a lot of positives to it....
In my humble, and all that.
Cheers, Hedge

Theres no doubt Lambo have done very well from VAG but lets be honest they were a big of sh1t so could only get better. Porsche have no peers when it comes to quality, driver dynamics and heritage imo
Personally, I always think its a sad, sad day when a (relatively) small, specialist marque is swallowed up by a monopolised giant. Often inevitable, rarely a good thing in the longer term
As to Weeeeeideking, he did some incredible things with Porsche in his first few years, making them the most profitable car company in the world but has certainly lost the plot recently with an expanding but ugly chassis line and a bodged VW buyout
