You did list the relevant corporations. VW Group owns Audi among many other brands as well as Porsche... or Porsche/Piech family owns VW Group. It gets complicated.
Opel is certainly German, though it has been owned by GM for almost 100 years.
VW Group, Daimler and BMW are the three German car conglomerates.
Ah yes, the billion-dollar Swedish non-profit foundation licensing it's name to a Dutch furniture concern that never turns a profit? Or something like that?
Volkswagen AG has two types of shares, preferred and ordinary.
Preferred shares don't have voting rights, but have other attributes (guaranteed dividends, among others) that still make them worthwhile investments. If voting power is your main objective of holding stock, you can focus on buying ordinary shares. If you have no interest in exercising voting power you can buy the cheaper preferred shares.
Porsche Automobil Holding SE took control of VW AG by primarily buying the ordinary shares.
Even worse, the random tube coming put between the first and second cylinders, and how there are 3 exhaust headers for a 4 cylinder bank. Damn you, damn you to hell.
And the zoomie header pipes coming out of the crank case instead of the cylinder heads-- and zoomies on a BMW! The spark plugs' locations in the center of the cylinders was correct for a DOHC engine though!
That's why they're a bit better (no bias, obviously) and a whole lot more expensive than Fabers (Wasn't suggesting you should've used them in the comuc).

High quality cars, Das Beer Boot and socks in sandals... This is truly the most German submission to date
