Russia Firemen Porsche

It’s not quite clear why the firefighter squad does needs a Porsche SUV, but they have it.

It's a Volkswagen.... The Porsche Cayenne is nothing more than a Volkswagen Touareg with a Porsche logo glued on the bumper.

anonymous,

That doesn't even make sense. Volkswagen and Porsche are not one in the same. Yes, they are both SUV's in the luxury market, but they aren't the same company. They aren't made by the same people.

actually VW owns Porsche and yes the Porsche is built on the same platform as the VW just with more upscale treatments.

Actually, Porsche owns stock in VW... They are not the same company, and when Porshce tried to buy out more stock in a bid for controling ownership of VW at less than market value for the stock, they were denied. In reality, VW is effectively subsidising Porsche, as the stock they do own in VW is the primary reason for their profitability. The cross-platform analogue applies to Audi, but not to Porsche.

VW is completely separate from Porsche in ownership. Among it's other subsidiaries, VW has a 99% interest in Audi and the public has a 1% interest in Audi.

Porshe has a 30.9% interest in it's own company and the public has the rest.

Sure, the Volkswagen is the same as the Porsche. Just try to get laid because you own one.
