Toyota Motor Corp of Japan is to provide technological support to First Automobile Works (FAW) of Changchun, Jilin province, for the next generation of the Red Flag luxury sedan, reported Asahi Shimbun. According to the newspaper, FAW would use the main parts of Toyota's new Crown luxury model in the new Red Flag to be launched in 2005, and would also change the external design of the car. FAW declined to confirm the report, saying that nothing had been finalised.
The Red Flag, the first car to be fully made in China and formerly the car of choice for China's leaders, currently uses technology from the Audi unit of Volkswagen.
