A brief history of Proton Inspira
Proton Inspira originally developed the model Mitsubishi Lancer for sale in this country. Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia (MMM) to sell two variants of the model of the Lancer and Lancer EX GT. Over the past two years have heard rumors that Proton is developing a new model sedan in the C segment to replace the Proton Waja, but everything else to the puzzle when the Proton does not provide confirmation that the model is correct. Some say that Proton would be developing its own model starts from the 'Research & Development' (R & D), there is the notion that Proton will do the 'rebadging' only, which took models from other companies and then offer it again with some changes small in the external and internal.
But rumors of the earliest and more trusted blowing mention that it's true situation of the Proton will repeat again that the first production car Saga, Waja replacement model is the model of other companies that will be re-issued by Proton, the practice is to place the vehicle from the brand others by changing lencananya to Proton. Rumors spread when it is said that meant the car model is Mitsubishi Lancer, which was then just entering the Malaysian market. But the news is still "lukewarm" because then there is no exact confirmation or any photo captured spyshot successful.
But then rumors began to become warm to the 'spyshot' first model was at the airport began to be exposed in the local motoring blog site, Funtasticko Design 28. July this year. Proton fans, including critics who often follow closely the development of Proton's latest model, got the biggest surprise when the rumor winds or 'rumors' on Proton back to 'rebadge' Mitsubishi models actually become a reality. Spyshot photos Waja replacement model at the airport is clearly indicated that it is a model Mitsubishi Lancer, but with some changes in the external and internal, are still wrapped in black ribbon stickers on some of the front and rear bumpers.
Consistent with the disclosure that spyshot, comments and scathing criticism of the Proton first expressed in the blog, website and forum. Proton is said to have returned to a step backwards, as do the 'rebadge' for their new vehicle, although at that Proton has been able to build their own cars like Waja, Gen2, Savvy, Persona, Satria Neo and Exora. Criticism came from critics of the current string, with most of the criticism is hard to say Proton is no longer relevant in the current global automotive.
But the biggest surprise yet to come, until the famous local motoring blog, featuring photos spyshot Paultan.org Waja replacement model in Penang. This time the audience and the local motoring enthusiasts the world received a shock really like the tsunami as the photos clearly show spyshot the Waja replacement model is the model Mitsubishi Lancer, which means that blew the rumor about two years would prove true. Consequently, comments and criticisms received through the post spyshot increased dramatically, and the issue of Proton Waja Lancer again quickly heats in various blogs, websites and forums for local motorsport. Bulletin Utama on TV3 news that night to make the increasingly warm to publish news about Waja replacement model that is founded from the Lancer model.
As usual, there are those who support, some opponents. It can be seen on most of the comments and opinions written on the blog, website and forum have been very warm when both sides refused to budge. The support is the adoption of strategies to fill the niche for the Proton niche they are small. According to Proton, it is impossible for them to generate profits when developing new models in the segment C at a cost of $ 1 billion, while market demand is small. The best example is the development of the Proton Waja which failed to return the capital even reach $ 1 billion development cost. So the strategy of producing models of other companies could help to save costs, other gains and capital development for Proton to continue R & D of other recent models.
Issues raised by the opposing party and criticized the Proton is Proton is the inability to develop its own vehicle starting from a sketch, and R & D. For Proton has failed when they turned toward the back, while they hope Proton will produce a car model itself after more than 25 years of Proton was set up by the government. Another issue often raised is the quality of Proton cars themselves. Many are worried if the Waja replacement model is a reduced quality model (quality downgrade) from the original model of the Lancer, which means that the quality problems that haunt the Proton vehicles range in the past may recur. Basically because there are concerns that Proton would have its best efforts to save costs in order to sell the car at the lowest price.
Later on the 3rd. September 2010, Bulletin Utama TV3 has been broadcasting news of the Waja replacement model, which indicated a Waja replacement model is covered with fabric, including some visuals in the Proton plant in Shah Alam is currently installing the vehicle. There are some indications given that the model was developed based on model Mitsubishi Lancer Fortis. With news from TV3, the local motoring world and fans, including critics of Proton getting excited waiting for the launch of 'Waja Replacement Model' which is no longer a secret, in the capacity of the Proton model Mitsubishi Lancer.
After that some pieces of the picture spyshot Proton Waja Proton Waja replacement or Lancer was exposed on the Internet, waiting to see the model makes it launched increasingly warm. Among the photos spyshot the main reference in the mid and late September 2010 and is featuring a front page spyshot Waja Lancer white and silver. Spyshot then the model in Genting Highland increasingly give the actual design model.
Finally, in early October 2010, Proton has issued a statement that the Waja replacement model will be officially launched (pre-launch) on 14. October, and a number of official photographs of the Proton model made public. Although the photos are not displaying in full Waja model Lancer that was enough to make fans Proton excitement is growing. But before the shock took place when a piece of 'fliers' exposure on the Internet, which displays the actual name of the new model Waja replacement is 'Inspira'. Many are surprised that there is no name 'Waja', instead replaced by the name of Inspira.
On the day of the pre-launch it, everything is answered when the Waja replacement model is now called 'Proton Inspira', and that the Proton Waja model Inspira is not a substitute for, but it is present in the mid-sedan segment, the segment between C and D. However, the Proton Waja said production will be stopped with the introduction of Inspira. With the tagline "Smart Guys Get It ', the local motoring world and the online world once again noisy with Proton's latest model, known as Proton Inspira. Puzzle over the years has been answered, and the book is published model was created during the 'soft launch' it.
What is most interesting note is that the price offered, starting from and not more than RM95k RM79k. Many are saying the price offered little expensive, but still worth it to have. Proton Inspira comes in three different variants of manual 1.8 liter, 1.8 liter automatic CVT, and the highest model 2.0 liter automatic CVT. The engine used is still the engine of the Lancer family 4B10 to 1.8 liter variants, while the variant 2.0-coded 4B11 engine. Many will heave a sigh of relief when the Proton is not me'downgrade'kan engine model to the Campro engine. Proton also announced the launch of the full model was set at 10. November 2010.
After a long wait, which was initially Proton Inspira-highlight the inclusiveness in driving the Waja replacement model eventually found the people of Malaysia. There are several issues that arose after that, such is the disappointment of Lancer owners who bought the car at a price of more than RM120k, while the same model wearing the badge of Proton sold under RM95k. Even lawmakers who have criticized the proposed Proton and Proton closed for failing to develop its own car, the Proton is no longer relevant reasons to compete in the global automotive arena.
To answer the accusations and criticisms that did not stop, the Proton through its Group Managing Director, issued a statement that Proton Inspira not merely rebadge the project, but it is the model developed in collaboration with the OEM automotive manufacturer Mitsubishi. Proton also said the strategy of the automotive world when it is different when a number of automotive companies sharing the same platform and motor to reduce costs. Proton gave examples of some of the automotive giants from Japan and Europe and the United States that practice is practice, so Proton does not make mistakes when doing the same thing. The case is agreed by many automotive writers in the blog and the local motoring magazine.
By the official launch on 10th Inspira. November 2010, the Proton has given the world an opportunity to many automotive players such as journalists and bloggers to test drive the model. Many journalists and bloggers who gave positive comments on the model, and some of the results of a Proton to transform the first Lancer to Inspira understood by most parties from all walks of life. At 10, last November, was officially launched Proton Inspira was pleasant in Proton's Centre of Excellence in Shah Alam, and at all authorized dealers nationwide Proton.
So far this post is written, Proton Inspira has received orders exceeding 2,000 units and growing, with more than 60 percent of whom are booking for Inspira 2.0 CVT Premium model. Congratulations to Proton. Inspira is a recent phenomenon of the Proton.

Official Launch of Proton Inspira : Better than Mitsubishi Lancer??

Share

Updated 11 November 2010 :
Does this means that Proton Inspira is better than Mitsubishi Lancer??

At a special media briefing held at Proton’s Centre of Excellence recently, Inspira’s project manager Zulkifli Bidin clarified several matters.
He said the Waja’s replacement model originally started out as a joint development project between Proton and Mitsubishi Motors Corp three years ago.
After convincing Mitsubishi that Proton could improve on Lancer’s driving performance, Mitsubishi gave the green light to the suspension tweaking.
Among the improvements were revised suspension rating and bushings for a more comfortable ride and the incorporation of thicker anti-roll bars for better cornering stability.

For the past few months, i’ve been looking to buy a car for myself and with my current situation, i can only look at second hand Saga BLM. Yes not even the new ones but just second hand as i don’t have the budget.
Anyways, just hours ago i came across this article on the replacement unit for Proton Waja with the name Proton Inspira. This model have been rumored for quite some time already where it looks 99% the same with Mitsubishi Lancer and well, there’s a brochure on the new unit already.

Okay, apparently it’s a leaked brochure that is.
I don’t know how inspirational will you feel but well the features from the brochure are :
-Bold and aggressive styling
-Trunk Remote Control
-Paddle Shift Peformance
-Fully Automatic Climate Control
-5-star Safety Rating
-2 Years Free Servicing
and the starting price for the new Proton Inspira is from RM79,XXX.
To be exact it will be below RM80,000 for 1.8 and below RM95,000 for 2.0.
Proton Inspira 1.8 is available for both Manual and Automatic transmission where Proton Inspira 2.0 is only available for Automatic transmission.
Interesting much and oh from the brochure, it states that you can start booking for the new model from tomorrow onwards with RM1000 down payment where the official launch of this new model Proton Inspira will be in November 2010.
I don’t know how is 5 star safety rating like but i’m pretty sure the quality won’t be as good as the ones being exported overseas. Talking about treating foreigners better than their own countrymen. Pfft.
