VW Group also wants to cut down on model variation throughout all brands, over 40 variants/models will disappear. 

Among them, as rumored: The Panamera Sport Turismo (Panamera station wagon), maybe even the Cayman. These are rumors...take them with a grain of salt.

Also, a new market orientation, based on brand awareness, is planned. This could also  mean the end of the Audi R8, the VW Eos and Scirocco. Instead, the R8 could be replaced by a Porsche variant and the Scirocco by a cheaper Porsche model, priced under the Boxster.

The various planned Audi Q model range Coupes are also under reconsideration.

Again...lots of rumors right now...take them with a grain of salt but the model/variations cut and the new market orientation based on brand awareness is a real thing, it has already been signed off.
