You forgot porsche

I can't imagine coming outside every morning and driving to work in one of these

What about this one? 650 horsepower 911 Turbo. Was owned by the same guy that bought the Gallardo; however, he totalled the Turbo.

i think porsche does not belong to VW. it was till 2002 when the former CEO of volkswagen was the main shareholder of porsche but that´s it. if you look at VW website and check the companies financial stats and relations porsche does not show up. audi, bentley, bugatti, seat, skoda and lamborghini do, but not porsche.

Here in PA, the dealerships that sell VW's also sell audi's and porsches....like through their parts department too.

porsche and VW were always close to each other. may be that in the past there was an official liation of porsche with VW but not now a days. that the two brands are sold together is just a matter of marketing and sales strategy. here in germany a porsche dealer sells porsche and a VW dealer sells VW. sometimes they have their premisses close to each other, but on the same street you´ll also find the mercedes dealer.
