		<description>[...] Volkswagen Sharan  The two models are the Volkswagen Passat mid-sized sedan which would likely be used as the Perdana Replacement Model, and the Volkswagen Sharan MPV, which would be Proton&#8217;s first 7-seater people mover. Both of the cars achieved international success a few years back. The Edge cited the source as a Proton official, but the official declined to reveal how much the deal would cost. [...]</description>

		<description>[...] During the days of the Proton-Volkswagen partnership talks, it was said that the Perdana Replacement Model was going to be based on a stretched wheelbase Volkswagen Passat platform. Proton had originally wanted to buy the Passat and Sharan platforms for a new Perdana and an MPV model respectively. There was even an artist&#8217;s impression on what the Passat Perdana would look like. Of course, that never materialised. [...]</description>

		<description>[...] Details are sketchy right now, and the projects are not even approved and could possibly not even see the light of day if the feasibility studies have negative results, but at least it is something to look forward to once the Satria Replacement Model is launched. Another model to look forward to is the Perdana replacement model, which might be based on the Mitsubishi 380, or a Volkswagen Passat. Funny, when originally announced, Proton planned to launch the Perdana replacement by the end of 2005, but I guess that plan was scrapped when talks with Volkswagen broke down. The Mitsubishi 380 sounds likelier now. [...]</description>

		<description>Dear cbljkkj I would like to add more info about the cars that has the same design using a different name like what you gave, if you dont mind.

The S13, the S14 and the S15 Silvia (a.k.a. Silvia sisters) used the same name, the 200SX. These three cars used the 2.0 litre (2000cc) turbo engine named the SR20DET. As for Proton Waja in Malaysia and Proton 160GX in Australia, both used the 1.6 litre (1600cc) engine. The term &#039;160GX&#039; makes the Australians know that the car is a 1600cc car.</description>

		<description>cbljkkj : erm yah that&#039;s kinda obvious. my point is that they shouldnt use name, so that the brand proton is more recognisable.. since proton doesnt have noteworthy models, at least the brandname can be somewhat protected.

on another note, design isnt the issue here. granted i think gen2 looks fine, attractive in this segment in fact, but proton have to build fundamentally functional and reliable cars. the passat should be mechanically sound, though it is the previous generation. but the issue here should be, can proton make it work? imagine a passat-based perdana with panels that fall off and windows that wont wind? what is the point in the end?</description>

		<description>Dear December,

I&#039;m sure there are critics everywhere, for every automotive around us... look on the brighter side, critics are good in terms of their view to better improve on quality, performance, etc... even the luxurious cars in the european shores are being criticized in various elements... but in case of proton, i&#039;m sure there is definitely a pang of distaste in many aspects... in terms of outlook, the taste of individuals of course varies, but just take a simple honda accord and how many would criticize on its design... does it prove japanese are better in the industry or they have better technology? I&#039;m sure they have both over the years but creativity is something abstract and any team with the right blueprint  should be able to capture the mind of the majority... that is, if proton would accept/reject the right design...</description>

		<description>well, proton said that the carmaker will not be rebadging any existing vw models as protons. futhermore, they already have their own platform for a full-sized sedan and the project already started pre-vw. as the reports says, there could be assistance from vw to develop the new model. the passat to be assembled in tg malim will be badged as vw&#039;s in m&#039;sia and asean.</description>
