		<description>[...] New negotiations with Volkswagen AG have been on-going, and rumours are that Proton might set up a joint-venture company with Volkswagen AG to jointly develop Proton-badged cars to be sold across South-east Asia and India. Word is that it would be a 49:51 joint venture between Proton and Volkswagen, with Volkswagen having the majority share. Two Proton-Volkswagen JV cars are in the pipelines and they will be based on a Volkswagen platform. When asked about the report, Volkswagen spokespersons repeated what it&#8217;s CEO had said previously, that any future plans with Proton would be to support Proton only, with no joint ventures or joint programs.

		<description>You guys are great! I&#039;ve never seen a bunch of enthusiastic commentators anywhere else in the world! 
 
You guys are right- Proton is kidding themselves if they think they can go about it alone. Lets face it - they will be running out of money soon when car sales and share price are dropping (like an ape down a building).  
 
What&#039;s Syed Zainal going to do about it? I&#039;m sure he is waiting for instructions from Azlan on what to say and do for the next few months. Other than that, I don&#039;t think he&#039;s of any use to the general population in and outside Proton.  
 
Tun and TM should also stop putting the company in a bad light in the press - it&#039;s making things worse and shed a bad light on all of us actually. Bickering in public won&#039;t solve anything. 
 
Proton should stop acting like its all that (if you know what I mean) they ain&#039;t got nothin&#039; to show for (don&#039;t say Lotus coz the British firm is always ready to put on sale again) and fess up. It&#039;s time for some humility and honesty... </description>

when the new chairman come under kj,they try to sell proton to vw to get the commission,that why is was no go...not that vw dump proton like a few pig say in here..proton didnt loose anything,we just lose mv agusta for 1euro and 30million commission in somebody swiss account.thats all... </description>

		<description>After several days that VW dump Proton, the new management still keep quite. This affecting the image of Proton and shown by their low market shares. Before this, if anything about news onProton or national car industry, our ex-PM will stand strong and give out his opinion even if some party don&#039;t like it. The ex-CEO will come ot with press statement.  
People are left in the dark with all the rumours being spread out. Every investor not confidence with Proton&#039;s future. Or is it because some people more willingly to sell off Proton to other party at the lowest share price. Anything could happen. 
But now, proton shares weakening, NAP still being uncertain, Japan talks cock about entering our market, China come with its Geli car,  and our No1 still keep silent. </description>

		<description>Proton must bow down to the truth. In the grand scheme of things it is weak and can&#039;t compete with the current policy in place. And how many times have we heard that lame talk, &quot;We have plenty of money, we&#039;re fine and don&#039;t need any help&quot;?  
 
Protecting vendors should&#039;nt be the only consideration now. Proton should buck up and realise that they can&#039;t quietly exist with a market that&#039;s already fed-up with being played.  
 
I think losing VW is only the beginning of it&#039;s problems. </description>

		<description>[...] As for the failed Volkswagen partnership, Proton officials shared their side of the story. Proton said it entered talks with Volkswagen originally to explore possibilities of a mutual benefit collaboration, but Volkswagen started talking about a takeover. Proton had considered it, but not without conditions, which obviously caused the entire deal to fail. [...]</description>

		<description>Anybody know what Proton operatintg cashflow is like right now. They lost money in the last two quarters I know but they say its due to Augusta write-down. Dr. M says its because of discounting. What is the latest sales figure and profit on each car? Anyone knows? I suspect that VW may have seen the figures and know that Proton is going downhill fast. If they are discounting and  profit per car is falling, and if monthlly unit sales is falling, then it means that this is a company going down very very fast. With a huge Tanjung Malim plant and new cars in the pipeline that may not sell too, it just means Proton is a dying company. </description>

		<description>hahahahahahaha!.......yyyeeeeeeeehhhoooo! 
 
this is a very good news...what a relief.this is a very good sign...now that ecm libra case coming out from harakah,all the broker who want to sell our countrys pride are afraid to do so...for now at least. 
i think vw is not confident with the new management of proton..or,i think that proton has come out with the term that vw disagree because the deal that was made by tm is vw get to use our high tech tanjung malim plant and they will share some of their technology with us... not like the new deal that vw requested to have 51% control stake and then maybe they will sell our tanjung malim plant,rebadge our car and hire all the mat sallih instead of our ppl in proton....&quot;i think we should do that with mv agusta before selling it for no reason,that penguin has no fighting spirit&quot;...eh!..i think like this la...maybe the new management want to sell proton for 50cent and vw pitty all the malaysian ppl and dont want to buy it because if they do so,malaysian ppl look very st(tut)id.. 
or.....i think the person who control mr no comment donno how to talk with vw and ask mr penguin(also donno anythin)to make a deal and the result is &quot;NO GOOOOO&quot;.. 
i thank VWag for not buying proton and i thank tm for fighting for our future... 
i choose malaysia boleh! rather than cemerlang,gemilang,terbilang.... </description>

		<description>I think you&#039;re the one who&#039;s stupid. I asked you if you could tell the future. I never said you CAN tell the future because if you could, then you&#039;d know I&#039;d be calling you stupid right now. 
 
So not only can you not tell the future, you&#039;re illiterate as well. 
 
Sorry, Paul. Do whatever you want but I&#039;m outta here. </description>

go ask nujum pak belalang la&#226;&#8364;&#166;.stupid crab 
 
Paul, 
 
I thought no more name calling?? This fella just called me stupid. Who the hell he thinks he is? Hogging the forum like he runs Proton. 
 
So sad, here we are trying to promote constructive comments and intelligent discussions, some people just can&#039;t break their bad habits. 
 
Param, FYI, you have not said anything or contributed anything that has not been said before by others. Nor have you added anything of value except criticise other peoples comments. I know there are a few out there who have not said anything as yet who can put someone like you in your place as easily as selling P2 cars. 
 
Looks like there is no more need for anyone to say anything anymore as our resident &quot;expert&quot; here knows everything. </description>
