From a market perspective, if a brand as big as Ducati goes up for sale, there's a real chance emerging capital steps up as a buyer. An Asian major acquiring a storied European name -- that's no longer a far-fetched scenario. I see it as a sign of the world's manufacturing leadership shifting.

Changing parent companies can shake up pricing strategy too, honestly makes me uneasy as a customer.

They were under Audi for a long time, wonder where they'll end up settling next.

The question is who buys it. If Chinese capital or Indian players step in, the whole landscape genuinely shifts.

Even under Chinese capital, Volvo's doing fine under Geely, so it's not necessarily going to go bad across the board.

Given VW's biggest-ever restructuring, it's a natural flow for Ducati to come up as a candidate to cash out.

I get it's a natural flow, but these rumors always come up and it always ends up staying the same anyway.

If they get out from under VW and go back to being an independent brand, I'd actually be happy about that.

Independence is romantic, but without deep pockets can they even keep up MotoGP activities? That's what worries me.

Ducati sale rumors again? How many times has this story come around now.
