Obviously VAG can mean all sorts of things, except in common automotive parlance, it refers to Volkswagen AG. The A has never officially meant Audi, as far as I know. Strange pedantry, no?
Officially, the A never meant Audi, nor Aktien. Since V.A.G is from 1978, we do know that it will not include anything else than VW and Audi. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_AG#1970er-...
Die Bedeutung der drei Buchstaben wurde nie von Volkswagen aufgelöst. Gängige Deutungen waren „Volkswagen-Audi-Gemeinschaft“ oder „Volkswagen Audi-Gruppe“ – was auch den Sinn der Firmierung widerspiegelt. Andere Meinungen gehen von „Volkswagen AG“ aus, was allerdings im Widerspruch zur damaligen Firmierung - Volkswagenwerk AG (bis 1985) - gestanden hätte.

The meaning of V.A.G was never officially disclosed. Theories ranged from "Volkswagen AG" (although the official name of the company during this time was "Volkswagenwerk AG") to "Volkswagen Audi Group." At Volkswagen, insiders joked that V.A.G means Von Adolf Gegründet ("Founded by Adolf"). Bertel Schmitt revealed that the V.A.G name was intentionally ambiguous to avoid rewriting dealer contracts as a legal consequence of the holding company's name change.[1]
