    Hardly... a BMW has that large finny thing in the

 purpose in a Beetle.  A Porche is an overpriced Beetle.   
 About the only things that a Porsche and a VW have in common are
 ancestors that were designed by engineering teams led by the same
 individual.   
 I have a couple later Type IIs, one 1975 and one 1976 Microbus.  They use
 the same engine as a Porche 914, but, OTOH, I have heard the 914 decried
 as not a "true" Porche. 
  They're not.  They're awfully cute, though.
