Lancer based Proton P390A (Waja) !!!


The next generation of Proton Waja codenamed Proton P390A was previewed in local news Buletin Utama. The P390A, which is based on Mitsubishi Lancer will be launched in December 2010.


According to the news, Proton 'injected' some DNA of Proton and Lotus into this new Waja. I can see that the bumper look amazing, although a bit disappointed that Proton did only a minor job on the changes of the exterior design.

Staying true to its initial sketch...


Bumper slightly different than Lancer...

According to the news (in Malay language), Proton will be offering automatic and manual transmission along with 2 variants of engine, 1.8cc and 2.0cc. Proton promised that the price of the new Waja will remain 'competitive', albeit the fact that they are reluctant to announce it.

Check out the piece of news from Buletin Utama:



*Update: check out its frontal spyshot and interior paddle shift!

I want a Mazda 6. :|

i think it's a good call for proton to choose 08/09 lancer as the next waja. that car does look good.

i'm just worried how the interior of the car would look like. i truly hate it when proton makes their interior look too much like a toy

SIGH, why do they always have to copy??

SiMon Har said...

Jeps: Lancer is more popular than a Mazda 6 in Malaysia, besides, both car are from different classes.

kusut: i'm sure it will be mostly identical to Lancer :)

J'@nn: Proton have to save cost in production, they have a new sedan (Persona replacement) coming next year.
