Life in the VW group could be good for Porsche. Things that could come out it.....

Probable green light for Panamera coupe (928 successor) with VW's purchasing power enabling the car to go into production much earlier than under an independent Porsche.

Possibility of a mid engined car using the R8 chassis and a modified V8 from the Panamera turbo. This model could reinvigorate Porsche's racing programme.

Porsche variant of the forthcoming VW roadster as an entry level car in the spirit of the 914.

Access to the vast R&D department within the VW group will allow new models to be developed much faster.
