Talk:Volkswagen Group D platform

D4 "platform"
I'm not sure it's altogether correct to talk about a D4 "platform" - the D4-generation Audi A8 (and, according to reports, the A7 and future Bentleys) is based on the Modulare Langsbaukasten (MLB, usually translated as "modular longitudinal component matrix", sometimes called MLP), as is the current A4, A5 and Q5. MLB is a more flexible architecture than a traditional automotive platform, hence the wide range of models that are/will be based on it. So, IMHO, it is misleading to refer to a D4 platform, as such.

 * I've now edited the D4 section to refer to the D4 A8 only, and merged the other material into the Audi MLP article, which is more appropriate, IMHO. Letdorf (talk) 13:43, 15 December 2009 (UTC).
