I am sorry to inform you that Audi (VAG) has bought Ducati for 860 mill. euros. By this deal the Germans has bought all of the Italian motor industry. Its a sad day. I hate VAG! But then again... |

Italian unions have said better Audi than Fiat group. I think they are right... Ciao |

As Audi is a financial strong concern it might be a good thing. I assume they will never give up the brand name. Main reasons for the purchase are; - Design - Strong brand - Technical know-how on engines And also, Auto Union has had a motorbike in it's past being NSU. And with the Ducati brand they now can fight BMW motorcycles on the racetrack again. Think it is better than the FIAT group however I liked the deal with the Alfa Romeo Brand. (driving an AR 159 sw myself) Also prefer a Rheinlands Management model instead of the Anglo Saxon model where all is based on revenue and spreadsheet terrorism instead of passion and workman skills. We will see . . . . |
