Didn't they learn anything from GM?

Apparently, the rumor mill over in Europe is turning out articles on Porsche's alleged planned revival of the 550, and it will apparently be "similar to" the VW Bluesport concept (which can be seen at the bottom of this post along with the original 550). It will have a 1.6 liter turbocharged flat four with somewhere around 200 hp.

Then comes the problem. VW and Audi will both have their own versions of it.

In all my life, this is the first time I've ever heard of a badge engineered Porsche. THIS IS JUST WRONG! Didn't they learn anything from GM's pre-recession habits of selling the same car under four different names?

This is a new low.
