I think it's fudamentally wrong to use the name Auto Union name considering 6 million people were brutally murdered in Europe while the Auto Union was establishing itself. Think of another name.

This makes absolutely no sense at all.
If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

Do you not buy Beyer Asprin because the company sold the poison pills used to exterminate Jews? Do you not buy Ford's because Henry Ford was Anti-Semitic? Your argument is weak: A lot of companies get tied up in the wrong side of wars for various reasons. BMW built engines for German planes, yet you have a BMW on your avatar.

Not always. They collaborated in a number of projects, but they were separate companies up until now.i don't even want to imagine what the badge might look like. i thought that VW/ Audi and Porsche were always sharing their things, so to speak. now their going to become Auto Union?!?!?!?!?!

VW walked away from the talks. As it stands now, Porsche owns 51% of the Volkswagen Audi Group but the companies will not merge.

But the situation would have been fundamentally different had the two companies merged. The current situation is far more complex.

It will be more complex yes, but not that different, will it?
Unless the VW law hasn't been abolished yet. Has it?
