The real problem is Volkswagen itself, too high costs and a boring product range. Skoda is butchering in the VW's garden since similar models but massive cheaper. Seat has sales problems too but is like the sporty department of VW, amazing beautiful cars.

Audi is just rock-solid, superior quality than VW.

Bentley is a cash cow, would be idiotic to sell the bringer of the period.

Bugatti is a big money loss, the project of Piech who also controls the Porsche company through the Porsche and Piech family.

In the end Audi/Bentley/Lamborghini/Bugatti and Porsche should be moved outside and indipendent from the VW AG as awn company, developping sport cars and super sport cars.
The bread and butter cars VW, Skoda and Seat remain in the VW AG, expensive cars like the pheaton have to be stopped immediately since it's not the clientele of VW.

This way there is a clear separation from normal to sport range, bugatti gets no more investments, first the company has to make profit.
Lamborghini shall remain with 2 clearly focused models.
Audi shall stop the A3 and A4 and focus on the A6 and A8.

Just my thoughts...
