Further, Do you really think that Audi will prostitute the Lamborghini name to build anything but an exotic? ...I'm not as quick as I would like to be with an answer. I'd like to think Lamborghini wouldn't, but I'm not sure about Audi. They would be shooting themselves in the foot in the exotic world. However, unless they think that more money can be made!

Think of it this way: (my numbers are just a guess)

G Cars production:$ 70,000,000
M cars production:$250,000,000

Total Gross sales:$320,000,000

Assume 20% profit $64,000,000

Add to these number two new production vehicles under just under $100,000 and would sell about 25,000 units. This doesn't sound unattainable.

Total Gross sales $2.5 Billion X 20%

Total Profit $500,000,000

Money will make you do funny things.
