Brother, are you sure Japanese cars on par with Mercedes Benz and BMW 20 years ago? From my expereince, Japanese never come close to the German, even the the current Lexus, Infiniti...!

GET REAL!!

the problem is i had 2 ask u....the same question...how old r u??
do u think EMAS manufactured from Malaysia??? do u think it uses Local items?? If got, also won't use cheaplak things la....
think of it, any1 will interested in EMAS if uses cheaplak things like current protons?? it's in Italy, and do u think they will accept that??
they will juz say, another chepalang car...but y italian loves it?? y EMAS so many ppl love it? i dun think is bcoz of pure design and technology.
oh come on la....that's a concept car, so muz at least hv very good export quality things la.....

u try 2 look at local Wira and exported Wira.....are the quality the same?? if u say same, i would say u're an idiot!!
my fren's grandpa owned an exported version Wira, 1.6 version 1...until now, that car got no quality issue, not even rusted roof!!

i m not mean of judging by the look.....but plz, common sense la....who wans using cheaplak items 2 export??
judge by petrol, Petronas sells RON99, RON 1xx to other countries, u knw?? very good quality, but in Malaysia, they oni use RON92,95 and 97 only....

that's y Forte new facelift can't use the new GDI engine....y? bcoz of our petrol quality, even with current petrol quality, for current Forte also hv problems...
same goes 2 Hyundai's new Avante, also can't use the new GDI engine

why not you guys compare the price of lancer and forte in thailand and indo?
lancer is more expensive dude. and there's a reason why

btw, inspira is 95% copycat to lancer, under proton, the car is much cheaper

Errr just because it's designed by Italdesign-Giugiaro, doesn't mean it will be manufactured in Italy.

all in all~
proton won't lose out much because
lower priced cars compared to other models of the same category
easy spare part availability
easy modifications that can be done
national car..
other models are much more expensive due to taxes, import fees or whatsoever..
proton will remain alive no matter what kind of design they bring out
yes, i agree that inspira is totally the same as the lancer but no matter what people say about it, there are still buyers for the car..
some would change the emblem to mitsubishi...from far, u wouldn't notice it much whether it's a proton or mitsu
it's disappointing to see that proton did not really come out with their own genuine design..
proton emas is by far compared to the rest of the proton cars, is nicer looking and sturdy even if it's an italian design
however i doubt that it'll look the same when/if it reaches malaysia..
manufacturer would then cut cost and take this and that out and in the end it doesn't look like what we saw via the internet..
sad to say..

somehow xioncity's posting is becoming more and more idiotic these days

Buy Inspira and stir up our economy!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... HAHAHAHAHA....

yeap....
somehow the more he/she posted, the more funny the replies will be...
+100000

Lancer fans should blame mitsubishi for letting proton copycat their product

buy inspira...
convert to lancer bodyparts n interior sure can join MLOC(mitsubishi lancer owners club)

no more 'my-car-is-better-than-yours' post?

lol

Inspira..not bad looking..bigger than my civic...but more money needed.

what to blame ??? is normal for car makers nowadays ... is a win win situation for both.

in vietnam, toyota also do the same, sell vios/altis to vietnam local car maker ...

the local vios is exactly like the toyota vios, even the badge almost similiar to toyota ... and is cheaper then toyota ...

if not my friend tell me i also not aware ...

It is funny how some people are still living in self-denial...

^Then what you expect? Is normal situation... If want to make noise, big companies got their lawyers standing by to play the game with you. Just go for court hearing for 5 times are good enough to burn your money. Those coward bashers knows this, that's why they simply bash in the forum, because they know by bashing end users, they no need to waste money...
Most Malaysians now like to live under self denial.
Most of the Malaysian are coward.

+10 for you.
Thats why our country never progress rapidly, because all doesn't want to stand out for themselves and fight for their rights.

What to do...
That's why Forte not much people talk about, in fact, with that price for what we can get, in some sense it will be better than Inspira.... Just the setback is the second hand value... Let Naza has their hands in, is something like let Proton have their hands in....

conclusion of the story
CIVIC 2.0 IS THE BEST
BUT EXPENSIVE.

civic is best, as it is out of reach of common ppl. u go civic forum, also a lot of complains.

i dont see much ppl complains about bmw and merc , spare part problems, second hand value and so on. Hem. Probably they spend their time making money, rather than make noise in forum.

yea, inspira is great, just like Perdana. from spare part to second hand value, will be like perdana .

Any car is better than proton. First maybe is very worth it, nice. after one year, you will realize how bad it is.
