but Porsche's income isn't reflected on VAG's spreadsheets
How can you say 'brand x will cover this section of the market for us' when brand x isn't even one of your brands?
looks good on paper to say Audi/Porshce will do this and that but in the end they're still separate.

yes it does, just hasn't been proven in the US
b/c most Americans are a)not car people or are b)biased car people. there is no Lexus
personally, I'd have no problem buying a Toyota Celsior. I want a kick-*** car, I don't buy the badge to impress the lemmings.
Acura only exists in N.A. and Hong Kong IIRC. There is no Lexus in Japan or Europe IIRC. therefore they do sell them

Right on....
Lexuses are tremendously overrated and overpriced. They are just dressed up Toyotas in disguise. Anyone willing to spend $60K+ on one of these things is mucho retarted.
