@ Ron:

Your story does make sens, however, if it is possible to have the porsche brand financially virtually independent of the VA group, I thinkn they will opt for this option.

It does make more sense to keep VW, Audi and Porsche, with all of them producing Small/Medium/Large + Sporty cars, but all in a different segment. Off course, R&D will be shared over the three branches. In that way, they will be selling huge volume, without audi cannibalizing on Porsche or something the like... That is what I fear will happen. And then, we'll have 911 family, boxster family, Cayenne family and Panamerya family. Maybe even some sort of baby panamera and baby cayenne?

This is how I think/fear it will happen.
