I still find this silly.  Thats like saying that the new 996 is really a 
Boxter because they raided the parts bin for the Boxter.  Yes, Porsche 
wanted to make a cheap car and used parts from audi to do so.  But the 
car was still originally designed by Porsche Engineers...so in my eyes 
its a porsche more than an audi...but i dunno...maybe thats just me
