Bernd Pischetsrieder, meditates as VW-boss about having a stake in the English manufacturer Lotus. Additionally, it is negotiated that Lotus takes hold of Audi- and VW-engines soon. Beside economical thoughts, a very personal affinity fortifies this co-operation: Pischetsrieder is reported to own a Lotus Elise, as well as his daughter.

Didn't Petronas/Proton just top up their shares to 100% by buying the remaining ones from Roman Artioli?

Yep, Proton owns 100% of Lotus... Maybe they will sell it to VW, personally I think that would be a good thing...

Please let this be NOT true... I also own a VW Golf and it's disastrous.
What's next, diesel Elises and Esprits???
