Proton Inspirasi (Lancer) is coming!

Have you made your booking yet? I know I would! (given the money of course). The first speculated 2000 units of the Proton Insipirasi is said to be made in Japan!

 

Apart from being a rebadge of the lancer, it is also speculated that the Proton Inspirasi will ultilize Lotus tuned suspension! The 2.0 version will also get cruise control, something even the original Lancer lacked.
