Audi A4=VW Passat=Mercedes?

[AUDIONLY@aol.com]

          I just went to Dinner with a couple of Audi engineers who told me
some interesting news concerning Volkswagons new Passat. It will be built on
the same platform as the Audi A-4 and will have the Audi engine in it instead
of the Volkswagon VR-6.............The reason being that VW has signed
contracts to provide the VR-6 to Mercedes (with a Mercedes valve cover) and
the factory that produces the engines does not have enough capacity to supply
the VW Passat......Bottom line is you can have the same platform in three
different styles.......The Audi A-4; the Volkwagon Passat; or the Mercedes
?????
