But the buck doesn't stop there - From Volkswagen's annual report: "Our goals are unchanged," he (Winterkorn) says – which means they remain ambitious: by 2018, the Group aims to be the number one worldwide in terms of unit sales, profit, quality and employer image. (1) "Porsche is a real enrichment for our company's portfolio," Winkterkorn said. (2) Those words take on more weight when you stop to read the roller coaster history behind the current deal as described by Automotive News: "Porsche's surrender comes at the end of a months-long power struggle that eventually led to the departure of Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking. It marks a triumph for Volkswagen CEO Winterkorn and VW Chairman Ferdinand Piech." Dizzying highs! Crushing lows!
