“Volkswagen ended up with Rolls-Royce Bentley, but missed the fact that the name Rolls Royce was controlled by the Aerospace Company of the same name — which promptly sold the rights to the name Rolls-Royce to BMW.”
Interesting article by a notable auto industry journalist:

Amazing journalism... 9 years late with a piece of news.
I guess a journalist can take any scrap of information and use it to paint the picture he wanted to create. Maybe for his next trick he'll turn his sights onto the piles of ****e that are the US car manufacturers and show how, through their own ineptitude, they have been royally reamed by the Japanese and Germans.

Thanks for the link. IMO, a good article: history with a bit of a bite.
