So what does he feel about an Austin 1800? Or Wolseley 1800?

I'm old enough to remember those days, when it was possible and even legal to be marque-loyal to a brand that wasn't German.  This is exactly why BMC put their cars out with the various badges on, even though it was 99% the same car; a practice we now universally ridicule.  It's probably also part of the reason behind VAG keeping their assorted sub-brands alive, although we all know they're Golfs.

 We're not all going to get in there.

Mr Porsche is holding the door saying "You got this for my birthday!" Whilst the guy with the folder is saying "There is a surprise inside". This is the second of two 914/8 models that were built using the engine from the 908 race car.

When BMC did it everyone sneered, when VAG do it they are marketing geniuses.

“‘Course it’s not a wankel.  There’s only one wankel round here!”
