Heh, so, when someone says "Volkswagon" are you saying that you know
they really meant "Porsche", or that when someone says "Porsche" they
really meant "VW"?

My guess is that the people who make Porsches do not want people to
look at a 928 and think "Cool, a Volkswagon...". My guess is that they
do their best to keep them seperate - because they are RADICALLY
different cars...just like struts-action and struts-shale are
RADICALLY different frameworks.

Here is an interesting parallel, however...the people who make VW's
might want to go to great lengths to make their customers think they
are really buying a Porsche, but just a bit different...

Kind of like the people selling shale want to make people think it is
really just struts, but a bit different.
