Just spoke to mai friend, proton staff... The idea was like sharing a power train, platform and engine only... Honda will keep on producing honda cars.. Proton still producing proton's.. But chassis platform, powertrain and engine will be shared.. Toyota ae, subaru and toyota sharing the same platform, but both are free to make whatever mods they think possible... Proton is good in ride and handling, rigid state of the art chassis.. Honda is better department in engine and gearbox...

But i still belip, proton should go for conti-dna.. Vw is the best bang for bucks.. Unfortunately cronies are more important than making a good car for malaysian...

pronda

honton

which one better?

Protonda!

among the thousand lists of Honda technologies that can benefit Malaysia company Proton ~ the power of dreams

Agreed on platform and ride/handling. Proton is probably among best in terms of the ride and handling. In terms of platform, they have good platform like the exora, but it just don't have the opportunity to be spawn into production models.

For conti-dna, also agreed. But VW T&C probably doesnt give benefit to proton as they want.
