I'm driving a 1.5A EX and I certainly do not want this ting to happen...you got any pic or reports on this? it will be a sad day for all lancer ex owners!!!!! I think Mitsubishi are smart enough to facelift the Lancer or built totally new Lancer model.Just look at Proton Wira in 94.They are a bit like the old Lancer except for the rear lights.But when Proton introduced Wira in 94 Lancer has been facelifted since that,Similiar to Colt last time when Proton introduced Satria.I dun think its too undignity if your Lancer looks a bit like Proton.A Mitsubishi is still Mitsubishi.I'm sure there are different somewhere.

Silver_blade Turbocharged August 21, 2009 Share August 21, 2009 I actually wouldn't be surprised if the new waja has a close resemblance to the EX. Both companies are on a very tight budget and Mit really need the money...so cannot bargain too much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferraricalifornia 1st Gear August 31, 2009 Share August 31, 2009 ya...the Forte EX 1.6 fm $45,999 Proton Persona 1.6L fm $49,999...it's way too expensive... having sat in both cars, the proton should be priced at least 3k lower than the Kia... it has so much less features, and the styling is not as sporty and stylish as the Forte... the rear seats of the Persona is also curiously so upright, it's really uncomfortable to seat in them...

Caaa Clutched September 1, 2009 Share September 1, 2009 ya...the Forte EX 1.6 fm $45,999 Proton Persona 1.6L fm $49,999...it's way too expensive... having sat in both cars, the proton should be priced at least 3k lower than the Kia... it has so much less features, and the styling is not as sporty and stylish as the Forte... the rear seats of the Persona is also curiously so upright, it's really uncomfortable to seat in them... Incidentally my company is thinking to change our Waja Fleet....What I know is Persona MT is @ $45,499 and AT $48,499....Forte is $500 more (Forte MT start from $45,999) with one air-bag less but come with free bodykit.... Shape wise Forte is nice but company usually prefer MIM cos we travel boleh land quite a bit...... Avante would be another one to consider....

Kangadrool Supersonic September 1, 2009 Share September 1, 2009 They are having a promotion for Persona, abt 46K+ instead of 50K+ Handling should be better than most JP and KR cars in this 1.6L category. Overall, my opinion is, good value for money buy. But too bad, space is tight front and rear = not suitable for me. Tall people will have to crawl in and out of the car.
