If Ron were any more stupid, he'd have to be watered twice a week....

Ummmm.....Audi is just VW with a fancier feature set, just like Acura is
just Honda with a fancier feature set.

They're owed by the same companies but they're autonomous in the way they
run their "badges". VW and Audi much moreso than Honda and Acura.

"Badges" meaning "interior feature set, suspension tuning, and engine
management choices". Chassis and hardpoints, engines--all the same
things, because they're the same cars.

So I'll presume for the sake of this argument that you'll be able to tell me
what the Volkswagen badged equivalent of an Audi S8 is?
Your argument of the same engine being shared amongst different vehicles
makes them the "same car" is completely ridiculous. Even your Prius shares
parts with other vehicles in the Toyota range, which by your logic would
make it difficult to distinguish them as different cars.
