You'd be well advised to take your own advice. I own a TT. It's based
on the _VW_ A4 chassis (not to be confused with the Audi A4 _model_),
and is MUCH more like a VW than it is like any other Audi. The VW R32,
a VW mentioned here, shares many performance parts with the TT.

LOL. How you can make that statement, and out of the other side of your
mouth say a TT isn't a VW with a different badge, is a mystery.

Volkswagen AG (VAG) owns Audi. It's not Audi, but VW which owns
Lamborghini. VW also owns Bugatti and Bentley, so I guess it would be
even more fair to say that the Veyron is a rebadged VW.
