Unless you are really going for the gusto, there isn't much difference in cars anymore.
From entry level up to about mid level, you get the same seats, the same dash, the same gizmos, the same engines, the same transmissions, and everything is globally sourced and assembled.
Having said all of that, VW's overall strategy is world domination. That is why they own so much interest in so many companies. The VW umbrella covers Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche, Ducati, MAN, Scania, SEAT, and Skoda. That is just the companies where they have controlling interest. An Alliance with Ford would definitely move them in the direction they want to go.
