For what it's worth my sources tell me there was a letter sent from VW to Ducati weeks ago that they were not for sale. So while obviously this could change it is apparently a concern of VW that they care about Ducati employee's enough to address this fear.

While several names, including BMW, Mahindra, Hero Motocorp ... had been raised for the eventual redemption of Borgo Panigale, it seems (and we stress the conditional), whether that VW is finally the happy owner .
This information comes directly from a staff member of Ducati, who prefers, however (and will be readily understood) remain anonymous.
He said the visit in Borgo Panigale was held last week, and the funds would be already happening. Still according to him, an official statement should be published in the coming hours.
As stated above, this information is to be taken with the distance it must as it has not been officially confirmed by Ducati. Stay tuned!
Ductalk Editors "just our opinion" note - This is a completely unconfirmed story kicking around on Twitter and the 'net today. VW has been interested in Ducati in the past so this is a lot less far fetched than say, the Hero speculation. We do just love this old photo though, don't you?
