I wish GM took as much care making our cars, as V-Dub does with ANY of their cars.

Yep, I think they have been for about/close to 10 years. I can remember hearing about the possibilities for that car a long frkn time ago. Bugatti was basically nonexistant anymore outside of the name before that.

did anyone else see this on discovery, i watched an episode on this and they actually have robotic carts that carry tools and parts up elevators and to the exact car and worker its supposed to go to, the carts also moniter how may bolts they have installed and tells the person if the missed a bolt in a location, no matter what the size...pretty crazy

As far as I've heard... VW, Porsche, Audi, and Bugatti are all basicly the same company.

Porsche, No. They were in the beginning, But no.

Edit: I should add however, That Porsche and Vee-Dub, Are collaborating(the Panamera's painted body is coming from VW, And the engine will have an FSI system from VW & Porsche's history w/ the Cayenne/Touareg), But it's Not owned by VW. Porsche actually owns 18 percent of VW.
