Re: i love VAG's!

I believe it is Volkswagen Automotive Group as it includes all the other companies from Audi to Lambo.

Some info I found:

In 1960, upon the floatation of part of the German federal government's stake in the company on the German stock market, its name became Volkswagenwerk Aktiengesellschaft (Aktiengesellschaft, abbreviated AG, being equivalent to the English Corp[oration] or American Inc[orporated]). The name was changed to VOLKSWAGEN AG on 4th July 1985, to reflect the company's increasing global diversification from its headquarters and main plant, the Volkswagenwerk in Wolfsburg, Germany. The corporation now goes by that name or occasionally 'Volkswagen Group' in non-German speaking markets, and is currently the third largest car-manufacturer in the world.

Automobile brands owned by the company:

Audi
Bentley
Bugatti
Lamborghini
SEAT
Škoda
Volkswagen
Two branches exist within this group of brands:

The sporty VW-branch - The Audi-branch (D)

Audi (D)
Lamborghini (I)
SEAT (E)
The classic VW-branch - The Volkswagen-branch (D)

Volkswagen (D)
Bentley (GB)
Škoda (CZ)
Bugatti (F)

Volkswagen Audi Group (VAG) is Germany’s largest automotive manufacturer and the biggest selling company in Europe. Due to the globalizing production strategy, Volkswagen’s international flows of parts and finished vehicles has increased rapidly over the last few years.

Re: i love VAG's!

Audi has actually been around since war times. then it was known as the auto union with three other car manufacturers, hence the four ring symbol. the company split some time later and then years later audi resurfaced retaining the four rings. you know europeans and their proud automobile heritage.

but don't quote me on this as i'm looking for a tech, not acronyms!
