I foresee that the German federal government will have to step in in order to save VW as the direct and indirect costs of this scandal will keep escalating and they will be huge. Inevitably, there is bound to be brand rationalization and model rationalization within each of the remaining brands.

What is the benefit of having Bugatti, Bentley and Lamborghini, not to mention SEAT and more recently Ducati?

VW group could be doing very well with VW, Skoda, Audi and Porsche and with those they could cover all the bases.
