Love your show and your attention to details on the vehicles but I have to Zonk your Audi story. 1932 The four companies became Auto Union then in 1958 Benz bought them out then sold to VW in 1964 shortly after that VW started selling cars under Audi one of the 4 original company names. In 1969 Audi bought out another manufacturer NSU. Which made the official name Audi NSU Auto Union AG until 1985 when they condense it to Audi AG. Fun fact: The oldest of these automakers, Horch, was founded in 1899 by German engineer August Horch. Soon after, Mr. Horch left his namesake company to form a new automaker, Audi,
