In October 2007, both presidents from Iran Khodro and Youngman had a meeting in TaiAn city. They later decided to change the target: rather than to produce the Samand, the JV will produce a new model--X12. The X12 is not the final name of the new car; later
we'll find a good name for the car to launch onto both the Iranian market and Chinese market. It's designed and developed by Iran Khodro.
