With Volkswagen now facing HUGE costs, fines, etc over the diesel scandal, could VW be forced to sell Ducati, Bentley, etc to cover the costs?

Report: VW Could Sell Bentley, Lamborghini, Ducati to Fund Diesel Woes

I think on the "market" would be a better term than on the block.

I'll give them $1000 for the company...cash...right now!

Hell, we are only talking about 80 billion! Hardly a reason to market Ducati.......C'mon Man...

They will only sell if they cant afford to pay back the loans. Since Lamborghini owns Ducati, the buyer of Lamborghini will get 2 for one or sell off Ducati. Yes, Audi purchased Ducati and put it under the Lamborghini brand.

I say we all pool our assets. Hell, if we own the company, maybe they will manufacture that V4... When i get home im diggin through the couch cushions. Sometimes there's money in the bottom of the washing machine too..

I like that idea. That way maybe I could get a job with them too!

wasn't ducati sold to VW for 1 billion dollars?

Sadly I think Ducati will be the first company on their garage sale list. It really doesn't fit into their brands. I think thats why they tucked in with Lamborghini. It's really to bad as they did a great job raising the the quality of lamborghini and Bentley. I was really hoping that VW would do the same with Ducati, and maybe resurrect their defunct motorcycle brands like NSU!

It mentions that Lambo, Bentley and Ducati are on the block. My statement is Ducati would be the first to go! It also says nothing about resurrecting NSU or how VW group has improved the quality of the other brands.

Right but it is Audi who actually bought Ducati and while they are al subsidiaries of the big VW Corp, I seriously doubt there is anything to worry bout here.

hope not, but still with all this crap going on with VW my fear is still that less money will be allotted to Ducati.

Pretty sure audi's were part of the recall...

Can't say I know anyone who believes the emissions claimed as correct and less who believe the mpg claims.

For my own.. My wife is always 5-7 mpg better than I ever manage when she has my car. .. I think she adds some fuel between fill ups.. Probably from the can of fuel I have for the bike

Far more likely.
