what? proton get billions R&D fund from public coffer, aka the money everyone contributed. Perodua and Naza did not (directly) get any R&D fund from gomen, at most they get some advantage as a (Indirect) GLC only.

no, in USA as low at USD 14,999 , monthly pay 200

so, next time you to parliment and complain.

actually golf and polo are normal b segment cars but to malaysian... they are like luxury sports cars... wtf this country...

anybody have got loan approved...at what interest

Bro what u mean by 'due to our nation mentality'?? If u got the mentality, but no $$$, discuss, go showroom or u survey tht car also no point because u dont have the $$$ to buy!!...So its simple economics everyone wants the best at the most affordable price..Only the G can change all this heavy taxes...Oherwise we will continue buying sub-standard cars at inflated prices..

Go works at oversea instead of ranting here. Then you'll know that although car is cheap, maintenance, insurance and income tax is higher than ours.

RnD money is in form of grant that any company can applied as long as you got the facilities. Speaking of Naza, how many AP do they get every year....

First post updated with more info and gambar kasi cantik

the difference between inspira n lancer is just the front bumper, steering, head unit and handling only...

inspira is using lotus handling technology....so the spring they use is different from lancer...

Added on October 17, 2010, 1:53 pmfrom some rumours i heard is that they dont copy lancer...its actually a business deal...proton gave mitsubishi exora and mitsubishi gave proton lancer...(i think mitsu had some 'commission' on proton inspira sales as well) <-- not sure how real is it....

its a business deal..give me something and i'll give u back something....

they are gonna rebadge exora to mitsubishi and throw away the campro engine...

anyone got estimation of the fuel consumtion look like? and the maintenance after the free maintenance is over? best source would be anyone using lancer more than 3 years. the cvt tranny oil change for RM800 per change is quite worrying

Actually, no need to racing racing or smoke smoke.

Sepatutnya kita pandu kereta secara berhati-hati, cermat dan bertanggunjawab di jalanraya.

No matter what cars you drive on the road, safety should be the priority above all.

is really true

agree 95k-100k is alot of money. meaning many many bags of peanuts.

few more Ks, u be in the sylphy, altis and civic range, meaning much more better choices

quite true, but the car will not live up to potential. why waste $$$ for the mivec,cvt,lotus tuned, proton dna'd when you don't want to use it?

lol.. good move by proton.. bad move by mitsubishi..
wonder if this proton gonna have the same typical proton car issues like after few mths electric powered window will fail.. etc etc

Its too early to judge. We will get some feedback when Proton starts to use up to 65% localized parts in the future batches and hopefully Mitsu have their QC people to help Proton select the best quality parts for the car as this car will also reflect Mitsu reputation. But I do believe the new CEO has done a good job thus far. Hopefully he can bring the company back into profit and bigger market share with improved quality and after sales service.

R3 R3 R3!!!

hopefully mitsu faster launch new lancer den proton R3 hav chance to mod the ecu and engine...

in the JV agreement between Mitsu and Proton:

clause no.35 - No R3 version!!!

afraid R3 beat the evo's?
