The sales reports make it clear the Cayenne is the cash cow and some have said the Macan is expected to be far more than a badged VW Tiguan. Here's hoping. But the rest of what you've suggested is conjecture from the outside looking in. VW has already made statements about their control of Porsche. There's no such thing as a billion dollar acquisition (this is no "merger") where the acquirer and the subsumed somehow continue unaltered. VW has run this game plan with several other beloved marques and the results have been less than lovable. I think it's entirely accurate to depict VW in a shiny black mask with respiratory problems.

the idea that staggering individual models keeps the model line excitement going is silly. waiting might make sex more exciting but not car buying. lol
