SEAT might be absorbed by Audi

SEAT is a quirky little brand. Headquartered in Barcelona, Spain, the automaker has a Mediterranean heart, but its parent company, Volkswagen, wants to see a German brain transplanted into the company in order to start saving some cash. Rather than fold or sell SEAT, Audi is mulling absorbing the SEAT brand into its infrastructure, giving Audi some control over expenditures, vehicle production and production.
