Porsche closer to drivng VW

THe families controlling both companies have long been linked, and now it seems that a deal for Porsche, the self-billed 'world's most profitable automaker' to acquire majority stake in Volkswagen, Europe's largest, is all but done. With both companies pushing to introduce new models in several categories (Porsche's latest?: a 4-door hi-performance sedan named the Pannamera) it should be interesting to see what 'Porsche-Wagen' has to offer the market.

The X6: They either love it or hate it - and so will you

The reviews from the int'l automotive press have been mixed, but certainly not minced. A review in the BBC's excellent Top Gear magazine (see their summer car issue with not one, but THREE Bugatti Veryons) said - "Someone at BMW believes they have the answer. We're still trying to figure out the question."

In a similar vein, an LA Times reviewer said the X6 "weighs ahlf a ton more than it should, seats one person less than it should and is about as useful as a laminated pizza."

All agree however, that as the latest expression of the ultimate driving machine (how I wish they would revert to that tag line) the X6 succeeds in spades.

to our friends at BMW Jamaica - when do we get a chance to test drive .... and see just how useful or meaningful this vehicle is?
