According to a report by The Edge, talks between Proton Holdings Bhd have car manufacturers and the largest automobile manufacturer in Europe, Volkswagen AG - and the parts manufacturers of the famous Volkswagen Van --- began last year has not pushed through on the basis of what the Malaysian government hopes.
The newspaper reported that officials from Proton and Volkswagen had met several times, but nothing concrete has been developed. The newspaper added that the talks were not going well and it seems that the German manufacturers something cool "lately and seems less anxious.
The newspaper also a source familiar with the situation said: "This delay could be cited to reveal some doubts." The Malaysian government is also under pressure, details of the partnership for the loss-making Proton, which has lost its status, automakers announce in the country's best-selling rival Perodua. The government believes that new partnership with Proton, Volkswagen help it can recover.
Proton announced last week its third consecutive quarter of losses due to increased competition and slow sales. The company reported a net loss of 281.45 million RGT for the third quarter ended December as compared to net income, he had a year ago for $ 86,510,000 of the RGT.
The neither Second Minister of Finance nor Yakcop Mohamad said the government would be an announcement on strategic partners’ proton release this month.

what you must know about kereta viva
Here's my thougts about kereta viva
The Perodua Viva is a city car. It was originally planned to be the replacement of Perodua's current city cars - the Perodua Kancil.Once launched, Perodua decided to market it as a Kelisa replacement only, and will continue to sell the Kancil. The Perodua Viva is based on the 7th generation Daihatsu Mira. All of the Perodua Viva models uses Daihatsu DVVT engines. Only the Premium version comes with dual airbag and ABS.
The Perodua Viva was initially launched with 6 models. They are
660EX manual,
850EX manual,
1.0SX Standard manual,
1.0SXi Premium manual,
1.0EZ Standard automatic
and the 1.0EZi Premium automatic. The range was later updated on the 23rd of July 2009 with the Viva Elite manual, Viva Elite automatic and the Viva Elite EZi.
The suspension is typical of small hatchbacks with MacPherson struts in front located by an L-shaped lower arm. At the rear, Viva is fitted with a torsion beam axle and trailing arms. The suspension geometry has been optimised for better steering response and ride comfort. The 1000 cc models have power-assisted steering, optional auto transmission and also a front stabilizer. The 660 cc and 850 cc are barebones basic models, devoid of power steering and auto transmission. As the Viva is based on Daihatsu Mira, a kei car, it has a compact exterior dimensions and a small turning radius. It is roomy for its class, with enough room for 4 adults comfortably.
Viva comes with 3-cylinder engine choices: 660 cc, 850 cc and 1000 cc. They are familiar engines but updated with modern technology such as DVVT (Dynamic Variable Valve Timing) and EFI
, and they all have twin overhead camshafts to provide even stronger low-speed pulling power, resulting in fewer gearchanges, yet also manages to increase top end power. Other innovations include a resin port intake manifold and a head cover incorporating an air-cleaner casing.
Fuel economy varies from 15.1 km/l (42.6 mpg (imp)) for the fully loaded 1000 cc auto version to the very thrifty 18.7 km/l (53 mpg) for the basic 660 cc model. For the 1000 cc manual the 0-100 km/h time is about 12.80 seconds. The engine torque band is not peaky and timing it takes to hit is good. It may be pushed to without much effort. However the engine drones at such speeds. Top speed is around .
