多年前就有迹象了 我们那里的vw和suzuki几年前就是同一间4s了

世界上质量最差的两个汽车制造商终于结合了

from REUTERS  TOKYO/FRANKFURT :

Volkswagen, with its 10 brands including Audi, Skoda, Seat and Porsche, has said it wanted to become the world's No.1 automaker by 2018 -- a goal it would reach with relative ease if Suzuki became a subsidiary.

In the first six months of 2009, Volkswagen sold 3.265 million vehicles and Suzuki sold 1.15 million. Their combined sales of 4.415 million units would be larger than top-ranked Toyota's 3.564 million.

Suzuki lost its equity ties to General Motors Co a year ago, having bought back the U.S. automaker's 20 percent stake in it, now worth about 257 billion yen ($2.9 billion).

In contrast to a potential pair-up between PSA and Mitsubishi Motors, which many regard as a union of the weak, Volkswagen and Suzuki are regarded as being among the stronger automakers thanks to their big exposure to China and India.

While major Western markets have suffered one of their worst years on record, booming sales in China and India are providing a lifeline. GM and SAIC Motor said last week they will make small cars and commercial vehicles in India, taking a successful 12-year Chinese partnership into one of the world's fastest growing auto markets.

Shares in Maruti Suzuki Ltd, India's top carmaker and 54 percent-owned by Suzuki, rose as much as 3.8 percent on Wednesday.

Another Franco-Japanese auto alliance, between Renault SA and Nissan Motor Co, is stepping up its push to achieve bigger synergies after 10 years of partnership, considered one of the industry's few success stories.

The bankruptcy of Chrysler this year was twinned with a link-up with Italy's Fiat SpA, while Chinese automakers are looking to buy into brands on sale from GM and Ford Motor Co.

Japan's Mazda Motor Corp has also come under some scrutiny given its diminished equity ties with Ford, whose stake has dropped to 11 percent from one-third.

From Edmunds Autoobserver:
"The Volkswagen Group fired its first volley in what is expected to be an eventual full takeover of Japan minicar specialist Suzuki Motor Corp. by assuming a 20 percent share of Suzuki for $2.5 billion, the companies jointly announced Wednesday from Tokyo."

All About Emerging Markets:

"Suzuki has a strong market and manufacturing presence in rapidly growing India, for example, thanks to a strong alliance with the country's Maruti, which accounts for half of all the passenger vehicles sold in India. "

"But Suzuki is much less well represented in China and presumably can leverage VW's longstanding success and solid reputation in that market."

Deal Has Extra Value

"Suzuki might benefit from VW's powertrain expertise -- Suzuki hasn't done much with hybrids, electrics or diesels -- but also VW's reputation for high-quality interior finishes, not a strength for Suzuki, whose models always have served the budget end of the market."
