Well, VW could make it but put Porsche badges on it and Porsche could
market it. Porsche could redesign the suspension to suit; it's not as
if it would need much work to do. A true sport-commercial (I can't
believe that I see Dodge Caravans and US pickups with "sport"
badges... what planet do these manufacturers live on?). The VC in
Syncros could be Japanese; I haven't heard of say Nissan VCs needing
replacement.
