Wiedeking still has some trump cards up his sleeve, the biggest of which would be to sell some of the VW shares Porsche has amassed to pay down the debt. But people who know the companies well say that something much bigger is at stake here than just paying off debt. "It's just like any family feud, where the arguments drag on and on for no logical reason, and just when you think that you have it sorted out, it flares up again," says Peter Schmidt, who runs a British-based consultancy called Automotive Industry Data.

When I come back from the store and I have four boxes of cereal, they know that cereal is on sale. I'm what behavioral psychologists call "deal prone." And yet I noticed this wasn't really saving me any money - in fact, it was costing me money. I went and looked at the data and found that since the 1970s, we are spending less for clothes...
