Yeah, this..
Thought I'd knock up a little sales graph to demonstrate the difference between what the likes of Audi, Porsche and Lamborghini get to work with under VW ownership, compared to BMW.
It's based on 2013 Global Figures.. just under 10 million vehicles for the VW group, just under 2 million for BMW. That is what generates the money, and the ability to put Porsches, R8's, Lambo's, and cars like the 918 and Veyron out there.
