"...Volkswagen will also take steps to ensure Porsche's independence
within the VW group to get over resistance from Porsche labor
leaders, the magazine said.

VW already owns 49.9 percent of Porsche's automotive unit...."

i think there is no Porsche brand dilution happening whatsoever. i mean look at Bugatti or Lamborghini. they get financial or engineering help from Audi or VW if necessary, but they create cars on their own and both sell cars like crazy, cause they are that good!
a fruitful partnership!

Porsche has never had the money to take over anything. That's why they sought VW to help them with development of the Cayenne/Touareg platform.
