All from this, the most detailed authorized history on Porsche in any book i have seen. I have had this book for a few years, and still go back and read it from time to time. Very good book.

Mercedes doesn't own Chrysler or vise versa. They are simply a unified company. This venture has nothing to do with the current quality issues at MB. Most of the issues are a result of MB implementing to many new and unproven electronic technologies in their cars. The Germans just can't do electronics like the Japenese can.

Also, did anybody else think that VW owned Porsche or is it just me? The chart shows Porsche as their own company. I thought I was sure about this.

I too, always thought that VW owned at least part of Porsche, especially with the VW Toureg/Porsche Cayenne/future Audi Pikes Peak sharing components.

It's not like BMW buying Land Rover and then selling it to Ford. So who only owned a portion?

Same goes for Scion...it is actually a Toyota division, not a separate company. However, unlike Honda/Acura and Nissan / Infiniti, Scion has a different (and Saturn-like) sales policy than Toyota...all cars go for list price; no markups and no discounts.
