VW to Take Over Porsche?

How ironic that the company whose initial success was based on the Beetle, designed by Ferdinand Porsche, should be about to take over the company he founded and his son continued to run after World War II! Volkswagen is already one of Europe's biggest car manufacturers and the addition of Porsche will complete its range of cars from family to luxury to sports.
