VAG have reorganised their dealerships around here.  By UK standards, I live in 
a relatively poor area - our Audi dealership has gone to Northampton, and 
Autohaus in Wellingborough has been rebadged "Volkswagen".  Even the spares 
have gone, and it's a minimum of one working day for me to get Audi-unique 
parts.  The even further down-market towns north of here have Seat dealerships, 
using the VAG colour scheme.
 
This is a _COMPLETE_ split - it is no longer possible even to pick up 
_brochures_ about Audis from Autohaus, or any information at all on VW or Audi 
products from the Seat dealers.  Despite the corporate imaging.
 
Madness - utter madness.  Some child fresh from business school trying out the 
theories the other professional non-doers have cooked up.
