Didn't Nissan and Renault merge in the late 90's?

Most website (even BBC UK) says Porsche is the most profitable........

LEts get some things straight here.

Toyota is the most profitable car maker! (FACT!), nearly twice as profitable as the next most profitable car maker.
Porsche (of the large car makers) has has the largest profit margin per manufactured car. How ever its profits are smaller than that of Toyota.

If you still do not understand what profits mean, than I suggest you pick up an accounting book.


Edit: Here is a reputable source who understands the word profitable

"Porsche is today the world’s smallest yet most profitable independent car manufacturer."

hmmm.....Looks like I pick the right side to be on LOL

lol, i think you guys are taking this profit thing too seriously
how about just stating it like this, since we're talking about F1: Toyota is the most profitable car manufacturer with an F1 team.
That gets rid of your Porsche arguement, and if you don't count Nissan as supporting Renault as much as Toyota supports its own team, then it's settled, eh?
