I fail to see how this affects us, if at all. This country's auto industry has enough problems as it is.

Mmene hit the nail on the head; we are mortgaging our future with peole who don't much like us. Conserve! The oil doesn't do them any good if it's left sitting in the ground.

Sounds like Porsche has tried to buy Volkswagen whether they wanted to be bought or not. Now it has turned around to bite them in the butt.

Maybe Obama will have pity on the middle class working stiff and give us a bailout by sending each one of us a new Porsche. Why not, the rest of the tarp money seems to be heading over seas.

VW and Porsche have been related since Porsche was formed. This is just another round in their sibling squabbling.

My '98 VW Passat gets over 30 mpg with over 150K in milage. Love everything about the car with slight reservation on the maintenance cost. If and when I have the money for a new vehicle, I will check out VW and Ford.

For decades, Porsche, VW, and Audi have shared parts amongst themselves. They are not separate like most Americans see Ford, GM, and Chrysler.
There are too many auto companies on this rock, anyway. The first to go away should be Geeley.
