Quote from sam93 :

They say they are buying more than a 50% stake in the company, not buying the whole of the company. Would it be Volkswagen or Volkswagen Group they are buying a stake in though?

They are technically owned by Porsche from the beginning of time. As it was Porsche who made them, with the help of NSU to produce the Type 60 KdF I believe. NSU are part of VAG even though NSU don't exist anymore.

Having more than 50 % in a company means it's yours

It doesn't usually but in THIS case. It does.

RS8 bodykit for a Mondeo - WTF. Moreover what even is an RS8?!

My Ford broke down again the other day, clutch cable again for the 3rd time in 2 years, oh well getting pretty quick at changing them now.

I didn't think that model of Mondeo could GET any uglier. Oh how I was wrong.

people buying that should be shot in the back of the head and then publicly displayed for ridicule

I've found this really nice route to drive just down the road. It's a quiet, winding, country road. Except it's wide enough for two cars. It's amazing fun to drive down to the bottom, the turn round and come back

Lol:d

Hahha, quality car that is, cruise on down to Sainsburys to pick up the milk.

got new wheels on mine a while ago. no more sunken-in wheels

My Subaru Leone Rally car <3<3<3

Heres my Awesome car

Volkswagen Fox

0-60 - 13secs
Its a 1.4
Top Speed - 104
Its a petrol and cost me around £7,000
It aint the fastest thing around but im happy with it

my parents have the same car, but as 2nd car for the family.
the motor is a bit weak, but its the perfect city car

The ride height is a bit high at that Fox. For me at least.

May I ask why you paid that for that? It's an overpriced, underpowered piece of Brazilian poop (It's made in Brazil). I'm sat here thinking "why didn't this man look at a Panda or something!"

Oh well, as long as you're happy!

that car isn´t that bad.
ok its a bit overpriced for the stuff what is in there.
But it runs, and runs, and runs, and runs
We got it since 2 Years now and had no problems in this time. Don´t buy Italian cars (i own one myself -> Fiat Punto 99´)

In 2 years time you can't really claim it "runs and runs and runs"..

Makes me think about this guy at my old school, was doing burnouts with it and stuff, acting all tough guy... Funny as hell, it's a shopping trolley you moron!

no you´re right you can´t really say that, but look at the other cars from vw. most of them are mile killers, for example the golf (older versions) my father himfelse had a vw bug his half life

With a Ford, no you can't claim that, with Volkswagen, yes you can.

Why? Fords are not _that_ bad cars. My mother drives a Ford Fusion (company car, she wouldn't buy such an ugly car. :razz and she has no problems with it at all... It's an 1.4 diesel 70hp one, it does 170km/h max. It's noisy, sounds like a tractor, but handles pretty well.

Still, if you buy ANY car brandnew you are losing money MASSIVELY but it doesn't matter if I could buy a FORD GT for £7,000 I will by a Fox every time because then I am a smart person, therefore my Fox will still work everyday and the FORD GT is just looking pretty (which it doesn't anyway)

Child..

I wasn't even having a digg at VW or anything, you can't say any car keeps going forever if it's only 2 years old. You are such a big baby, why do you interest yourself in cars? The way you act almost sounds like you're having sex with them and only cars from VAG group are female.

ah didnt want to start flame war here
im not fan of any car mark or something i dont care what im driving it just must DRIVE :P

Yes. This is exactly correct, you should be a psychiatrist.

Well, I'm a car enthousiast, and I like Fords. But for some reason other people on here always feel the need to bash them, everytime someone with a Volkswagen posts on here, and I say anything, BlueFlame pops up and starts bashing Ford again.
It's just tiring and idiotic.

P.S. I don't hate Volkswagen, I need some parts from them for a project
