@ reginos and RC - I really hope that you are both right and the effects of this "disaster" are not felt in the products and I personally hope that it is not felt in the Motorsport program.
 
Just a note of clarification: I am sure that what ever decision is made on the brand placing of Porsche within the VAG, it won’t be seen as “destroying the brand” by those who make the decision. “They”, I’m sure, will make a decision thinking that it is the best and most profitable one for the group (and not for Porsche alone anymore).
What I’m trying to say is that, that decision may be seen as “destroying the brand” by us.
 
I really wish that I felt optimistic about this, but I must confess that I’m quite disheartened.
