What is the point of an agreement like that?

So that there aren't 3 "similiar" SUVs in the market at one time?

This is great, as more hardcore car nutz, from which all info on cars is spread, will begin to establish Audi as a very different and seperate brand from VW(in my P.O., the association is not so much of a bad thing) and word will spread to others that this is happening, sales for Audi increase. That is IF they contine to differentiate their products across the board from their VW counterparts.
