VW plans a retort in the direction of Porsche?
|
We all remember far too well the struggle of Porsche with the shareholders, trade unions and – not least – our employees and the works council at VW, as the sports car maker with a suggestion to Wolfsburg came to the stars to reach for with and Volkswagen Group to take on much larger. There were so many legal problems to overcome, to provide funds and also the state of Lower Saxony was not necessarily cooperative, which the release of shares and participation rights and terms.
But all that was in the course of time resolved, so the Porsche Holding SE is now the one hand, 50.8% of VW’s shares, but now also on a net debt of EUR 9 billion is sitting. And that is what could now Boomerang prove, for VW, in contrast, relatively well the economic crisis browsing. And Porsche not. This also was not very surprising, is for manufacturers in the premium segment is as just a scrapping of € 2500, a new customer to gain almost no. When a golf or polo has a different view from already.
Now there may be an unusual retort, which was probably not expected. VW could, according to expert estimates, with an investment of approximately EUR 8 billion to take over the current majority shareholder and to “buy” so again. The rumor mill is in full swing and the top two companies to be heard. … NOTHING! In any case, no definite conclusions, and above all, not a denial! At the Annual General Meeting of Volkswagen few days ago the issue was simply hushed up. But silence sometimes says little more than words …
Should it really come to the next Seat, Skoda, Audi and Lamborghini and Porsche soon range of the Wolfsburg-based carmaker is part of, that would be a totally unexpected but sensible deal for Volkswagen. After all, one hears from government always the chance the crisis must be seen as well, in which the “separate the wheat from the chaff” and that the economy strengthened in the future, the start then. And for Volkswagen, if everything continues to run so sure as a more realistic future for Porsche with the current conditions.
