Mitsubishi Explains Technical Collaboration With Proton

KUALA LUMPUR, (Bernama) -- The technical collaboration of Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) Japan with Proton Holdings Bhd which led to the development of the Inspira is modelled on the Mitsubishi Lancer.

Other than the Lancer, no other Mitsubishi models currently distributed by MMM, including its recently launched vehicles Lancer Sportback and the ASX compact crossover will be based on this technical collaboration in the future, said Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia (MMM) chief executive officer Tetsuya Oda.

In a statement today, he said while the Inspira was modelled after the Mitsubishi Lancer, it differed in a number of ways, with both having its own unique traits, allowing each respective vehicle to differentiate itself in the marketplace.

Each brand also catered to a different group of customer segments with a different set of driving desires and expectations, Oda said.

Exported to Malaysia and distributed by MMM, the Lancer is a completely built-up (CBU) unit, in which all parts and assembly standards have met Mitsubishi Motors' stringent global quality standards, he said.

In addition to being fully manufactured by MMC in Japan, the Mitsubishi Lancer is also designed and produced to meet the highest European (high-speed driving performance and handling), American (safety) and Japanese (vehicle built) quality standards, Oda said.

The Inspira, on the other hand, is assembled at Proton's facility in Shah Alam and will contain 40 per cent local parts within the year, he said.

milo tin

So if wan buy, better buy early. Later one all lauyah one

milo tin is still milo tin haha.

in other word : " inspira is inspira ... dun compare it to lancer pls, lancer is much better !! "

lolx

in other explanation. we, lancer maker do not butthurt.

so 40% rubbish?

still lancer owners lose face la inspira looks the same. padan muka

lolx... similar but not the same ... ori and ciplak

damage control... we don't want to listen...

proton phailed.

40% more patriotic if buy inspira yo!

40% more chance of parts phailure yo!

Both isnpira and lancer owner butthurts..

Isnpira owner butthurt because the quality lancer better..
Lancer owner butthurt because prices crazy cheaper..

Dont underestimate proton..
The make good satria neo

Rebadge is rebadge lah. What patriotic.

Tetsuya Oda in his effort to calm down all the butt hurt lancer owners. pls la as long the money roll in, japanese dont really care the lancer owners. to small in percentage to make any significant profit.

everytime i saw a lancer i will think it as an inspira..who cares tin milo or what...inspira > lancer...

inspira owner > lancer owner

Lancer - original product
Inspira - AP product.

pick one

AHAHAHAHAHA 40%

eh lain pulak ayat

aku ingt kaw nk tulis mcm ni

"my motorbike can pawn dis car in traffic jam"

Lancer = Ori Iphone
Inspira = China Iphone

So is depending on end user to choose.
Sad to current Lancer user, fake bro in Malaysia... Malaysia boleh... Proton boleh...

develipment take 2 years to completed as masspro car,means this venture between proton and mitsubishi starts since 2008.right now, mitsubishi has take ixora design as their new product for development..

I wonder whether Perdana "famous" gearbox problem will be inherited by Insprira.

One thing in www.paultan.org forum it said that Inspira will be equipped with ATF Cooler but when I viewed the car in Proton showroom the car is not equipped with any ATF Cooler - maybe it was hidden elsewhere.

Without doubt Proton will venture into a new experience in handling the high-tech CVT Gearbox but as long as the Inspira continue to be serviced by Proton authorised service centre (even after 60K km) and if the Gearbox "gong" for whatsoever reasons then the Inspira owner can raise the voice and shout "MY CAR WAS SERVICED BY PROTON AUTHORISED SERVICE CENTRE SINCE DAY ONE" in order to avoid Proton raising exclusion clause in the Warranty.

Before 2008 Honda City used the CVT Gearbox but it failed in Malaysia weather condition and the new Honda City, as I understand, revert back to torque converter system as it is more reliable. The market talk say that a new Honda City CVT Gearbox is priced at RM27K and I am curious to find out what is the price of a brand new Inspira CVT Gearbox.

I dunno but this will be a paramount consideration to think of before making a decision as from June 2011 the second hand part dealer is banned from importing used car parts into Malaysia.

Hope Proton will ensure the theme 'MALAYSIA (PROTON) BOLEH" otherwise people will say "PROTON (MALAYSIA) MANA BOLEH"l.

ITT: lancer fanboys trying to soothe their butthurt

if it isnt the brainless basher yesterday who doesnt know how to read

how typical

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1643823

read the topic and read his posts

back on topic

you are the one who dont understand, from your post in the other topic i can see why you cant understand

China iphone = imitation product (assuming that u are talking about the counterfeit products not the iphoned produced in china by foxcon)

Inspira = legal and strategic technology transfer and sharing

oh by the way youre still a butthurt. and dont forget your life is at where you are now because of your "talented brain,thinking and comprehension"

our family owned a perdana new from 2002 until 2009. had no problem with the gearbox at all

in no way is the comparison is like that

rebadge, legal technology transfer and sharing is not the same as imitation or counterfeit

its obvious you are the one who need vaseline very urgently

for one, i agree with anak datuk here

berapa banyak kali kau explain kat orang2 camtu diorang takkan faham

dalam kepala dia dah tertanam "woo...honda & toyota is the best"

pastu duk cucuk2 ayah depa suh belikan vios sebab nak impress awek

cannot compared between china iphone with ori one becoz whole world know china is leading in ciplak...but inspira is technology sharing between proton and mitsubishi and development done under mitsu monitoring...please careful when u talk otherwise everybody know ur are stupid enough

MALAYSUA "BOLEH" ma...apa-apa pun boleh~~~

2nd to that

tu la pasal

dasar kepala keras macam batu

da dapat vios pon tak dapat amoi lagi

sebab brain and attitude still problem

i don't/can't blamed them actually.

butthurts lead ppl to make themselves look foolish

inspira owner = oWn3d

lancau owner = butthurt owner

Inspira > supercars

Better than driving a :

MYVI
Kancil
Kelisa/VIva/Kenari
Savvy
Wira
Iswara
Saga
City
Vios
Spectra
or anything a 2" drives..or
waiting for a bus
riding a kapchai
driven by mom or dad..

Remember 'the man who complained of his shoes til he met a man with no feet'..Inspira still much better than the above cars.

@lilfreak

haters will hate it anyhow, don't waste your energy, malaysian rarely get the word "collaboration" right, they will just continue to say its a copy-cat, imitation blah blah blah all kinds of words u can hear

i wonder why nobody say that to our myvi AKA passo? lol

ah shit... later sure my inspira power window got problem...

drive inspira = smart guys
drive lancer = butthurt people

Mitsubishi Explains Lancer(rich guy/amoi n shemale will find u even may may) vs Inspira(miskin/no amoi will melekat at u)

i wonder which would be more comfortable to ride in?

Wow the ori look very garang.
