Now this is a surprising news. It’s been 6 months since you wrote this, but this is the first time I’ve hear the Porsche takeover of Volkswagen. How is the end result for the news?

According to the BBC on March 3rd – Porshe now owns a controlling stake in VW. They paid about 10 billion Euros for it. In Addition, VW bought a large stake in Swedish Truck Manufacturer Scania for about 4.4 Billion Euros. Regulators will be reviewing the deal in the upcoming months.

Actually a takeover of VW by Porsche would be welcomed by many-many people :) . As Porsche would bring new technologies and processes into VW, all VW and it’s factories would produce better cars :) . But who knows if this can really happen.
