Thanks for the link Mark.
And that shows how Porsche factory workers are not happy with the merge:
they just went on strike (for the first time ever, I think)

Like FIAT buying Chrysler. At least Porsche would become well funded. The perfect merger: Luxury performance cars and unlimited oil. The Porsche brand would go from being chic to shiek. Or you could say the move was like dancing chic to shiek.
LOL!
