Audi belongs to VW, but Porsche is its own company. Although, they do share factories in Germany and they end up sharing parts. You can find the Jetta's shitty cupholder in the Porsche 911, and Porsche uses the 3.2 Liter V6 Passat engine in the regular Cayenne. Also, the Touareg and Cayenne share the same platform. But Porsche is separate from Audi/VW and the Jetta does not use the Porsche suspension (would cost way too much).
As for the Quattro issue, yeah, most Audi's are Quattro AWD. Quattro is a great system, but it adds a lot of weight and puts more stress on the engine (both of which hinder acceleration). But personally, I really love the Quattro AWD system.

Test drove the A6 Quattro 3.0 back-to-back with the new 530 on a controlled test track, in the rain, and with a teflon skid pad. The audi pushed on every turn and was awful through the slalom. Totally changed my pre-conceived ideas about quattro drive in wet weather. Maybe it's good for six inches of snow?
