Dupa cum se stie, dupa cel de-al doile razboi mondial, justitia Germana a promulgat o lege care impiedica orice organizatie sau persoana sa detina mai mult din 20% din drepturile de vot din bordul de conducere al Volkswagen. La sfarsitul anului trecut, Porsche a intentat un proces pentru desfintarea acestei contraversate reglementari ajungand sa detina un procent de 31% din actiunile celul mai mare grup auto din lume (cu peste 300.000 angajati si urmatoarele marci in portofoliu: Audi, Bentley, Lamborghini, Bugatti, Seat, and Skoda). Actual nici o lege nu-i mai impiedica pe cei de la Porsche sa preia conducerea VAG (detinatorul de drept de altfel daca este sa analizam situatia prin prisma realitatii istoriei). Ultima stire despre acest subiect: " July 24, 2008 09:00 CET BRUSSELS (Reuters) -- German sports car maker Porsche won permission from the European Commission on Wednesday to acquire control of Volkswagen. "The Commission's examination of the transaction showed that horizontal overlaps between Volkswagen and Porsche are limited," the EU executive said in a statement. "For all car segments concerned, Porsche will continue to face several strong, effective competitors with significant market shares," the statement said. In March, Porsche's supervisory body authorized the purchase of a majority stake in Volkswagen for an investment of nearly 10 billion euros ($15.73 billion). Lifting its stake above 50 percent did not require Porsche to make a full bid for Volkswagen (VW) because it made an offer at the legal minimum price last year, which few investors took up. The German state of Lower Saxony, VW's second-biggest shareholder with around 20 percent of the votes in Europe's biggest automaker, said in March it would keep its stake and continue to play an active role as Porsche's partner. Porsche, controlled by the family of VW Chairman Ferdinand Piech, has long been expected to gain majority control of VW after Europe's highest court last year struck down a German law that capped individual shareholders' voting rights in VW. Porsche began building its VW stake in 2005. In the wake of last year's ruling, the German government is debating a new VW law whose draft version preserves a strong say for VW staff and Lower Saxony, something Porsche is fighting."

Dupa ce Porsche a facut datorii imense incercand sa preia controlul asupra VAG, se pare ca acum salvarea Porsche se afla tocmai in cumpararea unui pachet de 49% din actiunile sale de catre VAG... Frumoasa rasturnare de situatie. Demisia lui Wendelin Wiedeking din managementul Porsche, dupa 17 ani de conducere, a deschis calea achizitiei pachetului de 49% de catre VAG Noul grup ar urma sa fie condus de actualul boss VW, Martin Winterkorn si sa poarte denumirea de ... Auto Union. In cadrul noii entitati, Porsche ar urma sa desfasoare o activitate independenta - asemeni celor de la Audi, Bentley sau Lamborghini -, dar va trebui sa imparta tehnologii si platforme cu restul companiilor
