QUOTE(Noregrets @ Oct 11 2015, 06:36 PM) Car industry people don't look at the group ownership level. Same goes to Toyota and Lexus also.When they talk Volkswagen it's only Volkswagen. When they talk Audi, it's only Audi regardless that it is part of VW group. Same for Porsche. Fiat also owns Ferarri but people treat them as completely different companies. I often wonder why VW dsg gearbox is so much problem. The Porsche PDK is wonderful and very robust and I asked the people at Posrche why they don't share the knowledge with VW to improve their gearbox. The answer is they operate independently. Although Toyota owns Lexus, Toyota cannot campur tangan Lexus too. |

QUOTE(andyjyneo @ Dec 24 2017, 04:25 PM) Same goes to Toyota and Lexus also. Toyota & Lexus is different that they were original the same company just different brand to cater different market. they share alot of tech between each other if not you think Lexus can be Lexus if they built Lexus from scratch?Although Toyota owns Lexus, Toyota cannot campur tangan Lexus too. Same goes for Nissan & Infiniti, Honda & Acura, they are still the same company. unless you say Nissan now owned by Renault but Infiniti is independent. For Porsche & VW it's very different as VW bought over Porsche and there are terms & conditions included in the purchase same as Geely & Proton. Unless Porsche went bankrupt and has no bargaining power, Porsche will retain their own Trademarks & Patents and won't be shared with VW. There will be some technology transfer but it won't be simple as copy pasta. Same as Lotus & Proton, Lotus tunes some Proton cars but Proton doesn't really interfere with Lotus nor does Lotus provide full technology transfer to Proton. Also Audi & Porsche being under VW group doesn't mean the shareholders of VW is the same as Audi & Porsche thus there are restrictions on what these companies can do for each other. People have learnt the mistake from Compaq and has come up with many terms & conditions during a buy over. |
