As far as technology sharing, if VW is owned by Porsche then who's to say that the RWD/AWD/TT stuff didn't go from Porsche straight to Audi?

I know what you are trying to say, and I pretty much agree. They are a whole different animal car wise, but they are still part of the VW. People here are trying to compare ENTIRE GM line up vs purely VW line up. Well VW is more than just VW cars. They own other "companies" just like GM does. So I do not think it's fair to compare GM to VW line up. It's either GM vs VW group, or Chevy/Saturn/Caddy etc vs VW line up. Maybe it's just me but that seems fair.
Porsche owns 35% of VW, although they are a major power when it comes to voting they are not the owner.

I was referring to the fact that they, VW, have not made any kind of sports car, or in general a car worth going out of your way to own(not worth owning), not a car you buy because you need it or because its a good car. And yes i am aware some people may not like my opinions, thats why i dont tout them off as facts

Audi is VW... at least 99.14%. Just like Caddy, Saturn, Chevy is a product of GM.
