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.

You must be in the 90's! Do you realize that nowadays many manufacturers are going back to SOHC? Why? DOHC or SOHC with VVT technology performs about the same. Better choose SOHC because of reduce parts and complication = reduce cost! Example.. Honda had been using SOHC 1.7vtec engine for its Civic model long time ago and the new Civic 2006 is also using SOHC 1.8ivtec engine. The new Mitsubishi 6G75 is even better because of of its advance design, they manage to make the engine torquey and efficient without the VVT mechanism. Read this... "This efficient design with a state-of-the-art engine management system incorporates only 10% carry-over parts from the former 3.5-litre engine, and eliminates complications, such as double overhead cams, variable valve timing, variable intake manifold, secondary air system and an EGR system."
