A further strategic tie up between Volkswagen and Ford would 'make sense,' according to one London-based M&A banker.
."There will be winners and losers in our business like you've never seen before. I think you will see companies looking for scale, because some technologies need to scale to be effective."
Despite that, there is still some doubt over the viability of a complete merger between the two automakers given the companies' varying geographies, and trust difficulties between the families which run the car manufacturers respectively. January's tie-up required high levels of trust between the Porche-Piech family which controls VW and the Ford Family,. Many major automakers are run by families with Fiat Chrysler ultimately controlled by the Agnelli family with these relationships making merger opportunities tricky to navigate.
