Volkswagen: Buying Proton? Again?

Well, we wouldn't call it the running joke of the year 2006, but Volkswagen is rumored to buy Proton. Again.
After many months of deal / no deal, it looks like Volkswagen is ever closer to being a part owner of Malaysian automaker Proton, which, as you know, owns Lotus.
According to the Associated Press, VW is looking at conducting a pre-Christmas audit of Proton, a move that would indicate VW is serious about investing in the Malaysian company.
