click on image for Driven, Season 1, Episode 10, part 1 (June 13, 2010).1:05": it's also the car that
INSPIRED our very own Proton Wira.
1:16": with lots of expectation, this is the 8th generation model, and the
INSPIRATION for the high performance, Evolution X.
2:20": So, is this model worths it of carrying the Lancer name, a name that
INSPIRED character, and is still one of Mitsubishi's successful models?
3:00": Wow, just got some news that, Proton has renewed the cross-licensing and technology transfer agreement with Mitsubishi. So what can Malaysian expect? Well, we can expect that
the second generation Waja, would be a rebadged 8th generation Mitsubishi Lancer.
3:27": This car belongs to the C class segment. Now, space is adequate, but I can't help but notice that this car has
lots and lots of (knock knock knock), unattractive PLASTIC. (Sigh) Premium? Nah I don't think so.
The rest of it? Go watch it yourself.
1. Before Inspira is even officially confirmed by Proton, it's has been publicly mentioned back in June on a TV show. But it still surprised many, especially new owners of Lancer. Why? Because they have ignored anything that has to do with Proton.
2. Who was the guy who won the RM10,000 prize in naming the car? You watch Driven also eh? Sharizan deserves the prize!
3. Plastic! It's very obvious (known fact actually), those who complained about Inspira interior quality HAS NEVER DRIVEN a Lancer before. Now, go to any Mitsubishi showroom, scrutinize the car the same way you did in Proton showroom.and it score 6/10 hope that inspira will score more than lancer when next review in new season.
