Audi Says "Ducati is NOT FOR SALE"

Audi Says “Ducati is NOT FOR SALE”
THURSDAY - 06/16/2016 @ 3:00 PM


After much buzz and fanfare regarding the future of Volkswagen, which in-turn called into question the future of Ducati, today we finally get a glimpse into how VW is going to soldier forth from the fallout of its “Dieselgate” scandal.
Instead of announcing how the company was going to restructure itself, and review its current business holdings and ventures, as was reportedly widely in financial circles, instead today saw Volkswagen strongly staking its future in electric and autonomous cars. As the Wall Street Journal reported, this announcement failed to impress analysts investors; but for Ducatisti, some good news does emerge, as Ducati certainly won’t be leaving its home in the Volkswagen Group.
To drive that point further, a Ducati representative confirmed and conveyed to Asphalt & Rubber the words of Audi Chairman Rupert Stadler, who said emphatically that “Ducati is NOT FOR SALE” which is as straight and to the point as you can get.

 

Yea, but is it for sale?

 

If VAG were in private negotiations with some other group to sell Ducati, which they did not yet want to reveal publicly, what statement would they make now? Answers on a postcard ...

 

Ford should by them :Cigar:
