The auto industry is at too fast of a pace to graph, but some of the shown connections are still intact today.

They definitely still get a portion of the profits. I have no idea if this chart reflects their current share or some old number.

Doesnt VW still own Lambo and Audi and Porsche or does Audi own Lambo.

I ask because the Cayenne and Tourag are the same and the Gallardo and the R8 are basically the same

Something recently has happened in the VAG. I'm not sure who owns what percentage of what now. The VAG owned all of them at one point, but somehow Porsche did their own thing too.

EDIT: Cathy's post above shows the percentage for the VAG/Porsche thing.
