Audi's suck, especially TT's, so get the hell (archive)

: LONDON (Reuters) - Germany's Quandt family, the largest shareholder in Munich-based automaker BMW AG, plans to sell its stake in the company, Britain's Sunday Times newspaper said.
: Citing car industry insiders, the newspaper said the Quandts were negotiating with Ford Motor Co and Volkswagen AG to sell their 48 percent stake for ``at least'' 20 billion pounds ($31.59 billion).
: The newspaper also quoted an unnamed BMW executive as saying Ford was in turn negotiating with Volkswagen to divide up the BMW marques between them -- Ford would buy BMW and Volkswagen would snap up luxury carmaker Rolls-Royce.
: Last month, BMW ditched its loss making British-based Rover car company and has since been seen as a possible target for a takeover bid in the consolidating global car industry. Ford bought utility vehicle maker Land Rover from BMW at the same time.
: The Quandt family and BMW officials have said repeatedly in recent weeks that BMW was not for sale.
