Volkswagen Board Approves Merger With Porsche: Finally!

For a while now, Volkswagen has been trying to merge with Porsche and finally – they have decided that they are going to merge together and while Porsche may hold over 50% of VW’s common shares along with options for another 20%, they will start the negotiating process soon enough. VW is supposed to end up buying out about 45% of Porsche and Porsche will be sold under the VW name … which to me is something that I love.

VW is such a fantastic company, not only because they produce some of the best cars in the world, but they are one company that you can count on. The customer service is absolutely beautiful and I think that VW is going to go far – especially with this merger.

Personally, I am so excited about this merge and I think that it is something that should’ve happened quite a while ago … honestly!

The interior of the car is engineered to be optimal for driving following the Porsche tradition. No official photos have been released by the manufacturer. The rear seats can also be folded to create more cargo space.

The Porsche Panamera is expected to have a sticker price of $127000. Production will be done in Leipzig in Germany and the engines assembled in their Zuffenhausen headquarters. Porsche foresees selling around 20000 units every year.
