Porsche have been a majority shareholder and basically "own" VW for some time now.

So Porsche, Bentley and Lamborghini all have ties with VAG now! As said I think engines will be kept seperate, it's the only thing which distinguishes the brand!

Although in my opinion Bentley's own Porsche's! I love the Continental GT and the high standard of the interior! From a performance aspect an RS3 would be pretty nice!

I know mate, but Porsche have some powerful engines which are much more compact, is what I'm saying. PB, Yes that's the one.
