Suggestion
I worry that now that VW is taking the head of Porsche away, we could see him replaced with someone that will prompt Porsche to give ludicrous allocations of desirable automobiles to certain dealers who wildly mark them up over MSRP, and charge obscene amounts for a variety of options that many other manufacturers include as standard, all because of a perceived irrational loyalty from Porsche enthusiasts, that is not returned in kind by the company.

Suggestion
Just today I read a story that the BMW X3 that does use urea injection has been found to be more polluting than it should be.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

With VW's scandal and rumored Mueller(Porsche CEO) to take the helm of VW Group, we could be seeing a lot more parts sharing, even heftier options pricing(think $1k colored optional key fobs), and more parts/assemblies made in Mexico, to make up for the heavy deficits.
Could we possibly see a repeat of the 996/Boxster exchange happening again?

I don't see how this should necessarily affect Porsche's production or pricing.
VW is going to take a hit and will have to lick its wounds for a couple of years. This too shall pass.
Meanwhile Porsche should continue to be the profitable bright star in VW's corporate ownership that it has been for over a decade.
I think there's a lot more fallout to be seen and then I'm sure the executive board will reassess the direction they want each brand to go in. It will be an uphill battle for the engineers/designers I fear against the bean counters yet again...
All I know is that our chance of seeing a production version of this anytime soon has just greatly decreased.
I expect that once VW has collapsed, Tesla will buy what remains. Oh and diesel is dead in passenger vehicles not just in the US but in most other places.
I don't think they'll collapse but they will have to get very creative on counting every cent. Meaning that even Mexico wages might seem a bit high to their bean counters. They may have to resort to setting up operation in cheaper places. I wouldn't be surprised if some Lamborghini/Porsche parts get outsourced to Asia.
I believe the most interesting part of the story is that after all the dust settles, Piech gets his way, with Mueller being installed as CEO.
It took a retirement and a scandal, but the crafty old man got his wish.
It isn't although it is much more widely used in passenger cars than in the US. Just today I read a story that the BMW X3 that does use urea injection has been found to be more polluting than it should be. I thought LPG might be an option (and it is half the price of petrol in the UK) but it apparently produces methane, which is not a good thing.
It will pass. But I think this is going to kill diesel in the U.S. And all they did was intentionally lie about emissions (don't get me wrong - that's bad) but Ford intentionally killed people with the Pinto and they are still there. And I agree about Porsche. Probably a little more part sharing between model lines (even brands) and I bet there is an extra year or two between new models.
It was actually a couple days ago before the CEO announced his resignation when it was down 35%. Now it's back up again but still down overall but probably little to no gains from where it's at now for awhile.
I worry that now that VW is taking the head of Porsche away, we could see him replaced with someone that will prompt Porsche to give ludicrous allocations of desirable automobiles to certain dealers who wildly mark them up over MSRP, and charge obscene amounts for a variety of options that many other manufacturers include as standard, all because of a perceived irrational loyalty from Porsche enthusiasts, that is not returned in kind by the company. Oh, and charge obscene prices for replacement parts.
