There are a few players in game currently. Another is Daimler, as well as Hero, the Indian motor company, which - incedentally - is one of the largest motorcycle manufacturers in the world. It's no secret that Investindustrial has been planning to sell the company for some time, but personally, I'd like to see sole ownership return to Europe. Currently, Chinese investors hold a major stake in the company.

I could agree with you but then we'd both be wrong
I hope if Audi buys Ducati, that they leave the designers and engineers in Italy and don't mess with the passion. Having said that, I honestly believe they will sanitize the company.
If they could have the passion that the Castiglioni brothers of Cagiva had when they owned Ducati. Not only saving the company but giving us the Ducati 916
that would be my perfect outcome.
Remember when you look in the dictionary for the word AWESOME, this is what you see ;D

I'm ok with this. Look what they did with Lamborghini, still off the wall wild Italian designs and insanely fast, just without the tendency to catch fire

Have you ever looked at a Coupe Quattro? S5? Group B-Rally?
Audi may not make the kind of vehicles that you like, but to say they've missed the mark on every vehicle they've made is pretty far from the truth. Perhaps their vehicles simply cater to different purposes or tastes than your own?
A year or so ago i worked on a r8 that was just out of warenty the power seat controls were messed up i called a friend thats a audi tech he called some friends well they all told me the fucking seat needed replaced i was like your kidding me right a 23 hundred dollar seat needs replaced in a car over the power seat controls that is a design flaw if i ever saw one. a hundred dollar switch cost 22 hundred extra haha o yea Rally cars dont run oem power seat, or any thing that does not make them go or stop in a hurry. Dont worry man you will never have to race me to a craigs list audi for sale. A car company in 2012 can build a car with any kind of spec they want for some one to find on google. I n the real world when it comes time to maintain and live with these cars audi missed the mark, power everything and sat nav is great but in 5 years when half of it doesnt work rememder you heard it hear first.
