Sigh - kiddies, bear in mind that for decades, the company was known as VW/Porsche/Audi. VW was the commoners car, Audi was the government officials' car and Porsche was the enthusiasts' car. As the companies grew, Porsche broke off from VW and Audi to become the high-end performance car, leaving Audi to languish in VWs shadow.
As for Porsches that drive like VWs, try driving an early 356 or even a very early 911/912 - they were all closely based on the VW Beetle chassis right down to the torsion tube front and rear suspensions. --- Mark Radelow <[email protected]> wrote: > There we go yet again...Go old personal attacks on me by Son.
