WTF??!!!
Audi Poised to Buy Ducati, Mercedes and AMG Left Out in the Cold - Carscoop

Automobile posted the story as well. I think the price would be a bargain, considering the premium Ducati gets for branding merchandise.

The downside is, Audi would probably be selling Ducati toasters.

How how much would the repairs be on the toaster?? $$$$$$$$$
Everything is changing up ...

Will the quailty be the same? Interesting to see what plays out..

The PM's on the toaster, would add up to be more than the purchase price.

I can't imagine Ducati being bought by a German company, and the reliability not improve. But being Audi's only bike company, they may want to roll out new watered-down cruiser models for the American market. :nonono:

Wouldn't it be great, if Audi purchased Harley-Davidson, instead? The current production designers would get the boot, and the whole firm would be forced (kicking and screaming) into the 21st Century. :dance:

This is unfortunate... I would much prefer to ride an Italian Duc...

I wouldn't count much on that... If history teaches us anything, it's that the Italians are too willing to acquiesce to the Germans.

Hmm wonder if the will put airbags on the Ducati if Audi buys them out..... Audi is all about safety.

Maybe we would get the Buell Daytona 675 back????? I'm sorry but the 675 is SEXY!!!!!

Audi all about safety? Don't you mean Volvo?

Buell Daytona? Is there a Buell model I'm unaware of, or are you referring to the Triumph Daytona 675?

On that note, have you seen the MV Augusta F3? mmmm
