how many companies does VW own?

It's a bit complicated. Few months ago. Porsche acquired 51% of VW. VW concern contains Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Seat and Skoda.

VW owns both Audi and Lamborghini, so I don't think it's really a competition.

the r8 is nicer as far as luxary and everyday driving goes but the gt-r r35 beats it on the track with the better engine, better all wheel drive, better areodynamics and the gtr is cheeper also, i would prefer to have a gtr
but different people like different things

Better all wheel drive? Better aerodynamics? Dude, are we even talking about the same car here? The R8 is far more than just luxury and comfortable driving, I mean, the only reason that GT-R beats it on the quarter-mile (by only 1 sec) is its turbo aspirated engine. R8's lighter by 400 pounds, it's got manual transmission with a closer ratio, a midmounted engine and it's definitely more aerodinyamic; just add a V8 TFSI or a V10 FSI engine to it and pow! Good-bye GT-R.

Yes, but also good bye to the 400 lbs lighter. Also goo bye to the aerodynamics.

German carworks are extremely brilliants, i had the oportunity to drive many audi cars, not R8, but it's far supperior to BMW. I don't know if nissan would do... But Driving an audi car, it's an extreme experience, not just for the car, the great details and the Audi Simphonic SoundSystem....
