Is Volkswagen going to take over Proton?

[klassiekerrally]

I've read on [url]autoweek.nl|http://www.autoweek.nl[/url] that Volkswagen are trying to buy Proton.
At first they want to buy 50 percent, but that could become more...

What will happen to Lotus I wonder...
A Volkswagen Elise anyone? ;)

Can't be anything but a good thing, surely?

Lotus badges on lukewarm Proton hatches don't do the marque's image any good at all, and VAG seems to be doing a respectable job of running Lamborghini...
