They lost the man that matters most in the grand scheme of things.

Before Q3 of '07 Wolfgang joins GM. I'm calling it now.
Hmm, should we give this proclamation more or less weight than the time you told us to "bank on" GM filing for Chap. 11 before the end of 2006?

Or perhaps when you told us that Wagoner would be gone in 2006?

BTW, they don't own Porsche, though they do own one hell of a lot of other badass companies, and they collaborate with Porsche on quite a few projects. Dr A G Porsche (I think that was his name) something like a century ago founded both companies, but they ended up financially independent. I think he started Porsche first and then VW (translates to "people's car") at some point later as a more affordable vehicle for the germans.
All true.

I still remember the trip to the woodshed for an "education" when I said that VW owned Porsche a couple of years ago.
