Screwdriva, I'm not kidding myself at all.
If you read my post again albeit a bit more carefully, I was talking about Skoda India and VW India. Nowhere have I mentioned that VW and Skoda don't share parts. I know very well the Laura and the Jetta have the same mechanicals and so do other cars belong to VAG.
I am trying to say that VW India and Skoda India are 2 companies operation independant of each other in India. VW does not use parts from the Skoda plant situated next door in Aurangabad. They get their own from the kits from Mexico I believe.
Same goes for the Laura and Superb. They share common parts but do not share the same parts bin in India. Both VW and Skoda import them separately.
As lancer_rit has posted, the only tie up VW and Skoda India will have for the first time in India is for making the Fabia in the VW Chakan plant.
I hope you got my point as lancer_rit and Mpower have understood what I was trying to say. |
