I was curious how Volkswagen is reviving the International Harvester Scout brand... I couldn't think how the German company would be related to IH and get the licensing for the Scout.

VW's commercial truck division, recently purchased Traton, which owns Navistar, which owns Scout. 

And that's how corporate conglomeration makes all the small companies owned by a big umbrella company.
