Proton Inspira Price

Proton Inspira complete price list has been exposed.
But is this the real deal?

First thing first I am sorry to tell you (if you are not aware) that Proton will not be giving away 5 years warranty under the EWP (Extended Warranty Program) anymore. However you can still enjoy the EWP if you opt for the special financing package provided by the respecitve banks. Altogether there are 8 banks for you to choose your finacing package. They are Ambank, Maybank, Bank Islam, RHB Bank, Affin Bank, EON Bank, Public Bank and Proton Commerce (this is a bank?).

Hmm...it seems that the smaller engine capacity (1.5 to 1.8L) Proton Inspira will have higher interest rates compared to the 2.0L premium Proton Inspira. Why is that? Moreover you have to understand that if you opt for the special EWP offered by the banks, the interest rates will be marginally higher (a whopping 0.2% difference) too. The choice is yours folks. Hopefully you will find one financing package that suits you.

The New Proton Waja

Long - waited Proton Waja will be arriving soon




Is this the most talked about Proton Waja 2 that the whole Malaysia is waiting for? Is this the elusive so-called second generation of Proton Waja which is based on the well-known Mitsubishi Lancer? I don't know but chances is that we Malaysians will get to see this Proton Waja Lancer very, very soon as it was spotted in Penang earlier last month (August 2010). Moreover TV3 also did some coverage about this new Waja 2 Lancer today (3rd September)!


This Proton Waja Lancer is actually a replacement model to the old, won-out looking boxy Waja. It is about time that Proton come out with a new model for their Waja line up. Before we proceed to the real Waja 2, let's look at the ideal Proton Waja Lancer which was conceived by Theophiluschin. If I am not mistaken this conjured Waja Lancer is actually fusion of the current Mitsubishi Lancer with our Proton Waja and Proton Persona. That's why his creation retains the boxy feel of Waja and the elegant grill of Persona. And of course this Waja Lancer spots the unmistakable fierce front light of the Lancer.

Proton Waja

 

Here’s some fact about Proton WAJA

The Proton Waja is a saloon car designed in-house by Malaysian automotive company, Proton, first released in August 2000. The Waja is the first Malaysian-designed car, with a chassis derived from a Mitsubishi Carisma and a Volvo S40. The name Waja, which means "tough (as steel)", reflects the strength of the steel used for the Waja compared with the previous models. The name was chosen partly to counter the perception in the domestic market that Proton cars were less strong.^{[citation needed]} In the United Kingdom, the Waja is sold asProton Impian, "Impian" being another derivative of the Malay language, meaning "dream".

The Proton Waja is the first model designed in-house by Proton. The development of the Waja began at the end of the 1990s together with the Campro engine, however the development of the Campro engine was still in progress at the time of its launch and therefore Proton had to source the 4G18 engine for the Waja from Mitsubishi,^{[citation needed]} before switching to Campro engines in 2006. It was launched in August 2000 together with the introduction of Proton's new corporate logo. Early batches of the Waja had some serious quality problems due to some component vendors and suppliers skipping quality checks to rush for the huge early demand.^{[citation needed]} However, the quality of the components were strictly improved years later in 2005.^{[citation needed]}
The Waja was facelifted twice since its debut in August 2000. The first minor facelift was in mid-2006 which only involved rear lights. The 2007 Proton Waja with a more substantial facelift was launched on January 19, 2007 together with the facelifted Proton Savvy. For the 2007 Waja, it was given a new grille which was nearly identical to the Savvy. The 2007 Waja also includes both ABS and air bag as standard for the Malaysian market, which were previously optional equipment. At the end of 2005, Proton additionally introduced another variant of the Waja, known as Proton Waja Chancellor, to be used by representatives of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) during the meeting of ASEAN leaders in the KLCC, shortly before its launch in 2006. The Waja Chancellor has a longer wheelbase and a 2.0 L V6 engine similar to that used in Proton Perdana V6, also sourced from Mitsubishi. By 2008, an updated Waja was launched with an improved Campro engine and a new center console with a new 2-DIN Clarion audio set.
Waja sales in the UK, where it is rebadged as the Impian, did not begin until April 2001, and it has continued virtually unchanged ever since. The Impian is only available with right hand drive while left hand drive models are available elsewhere in Europe as the Waja. Sales have not been strong,^{[citation needed]} as it was behind the best of the competition at its launch and virtually all of its competitors have been replaced since. Its decent ride and handling, generous equipment levels, competitive asking price and comprehensive aftersales package are perhaps the only things that keep it going with British buyers.^{[citation needed]}
On December 5, 2008, Proton announced^.that the next-generation Waja to be based on the Mitsubishi Lancer platform. The Lancer-based Waja is found to be on test.
