        no they did not.

        Porsche has about 34% now.

        Porsche plans to get 51% before the end of the year and later to get 74.1 %.

        That is quite different from what you said.

        Get the facts straight before extrapolating.

            Quite apt seeing that Mr Porsche used to work for VW
            The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

            But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

              Or Porsche increases the price of all VW's to Porsche levels and you can no longer afford a VW.

              It would seem more logical to continue with their proven strategy than to devalue their brand.

                  step 3) shut up
