Inspira

The Proton Inspira,[1] or previously referred to as Proton New Sedan,[2] or codenamed P3-90A[3] is an automobile produced by Proton as the successor to the Proton Waja. The sedan car is essentially a rebadged 9th generation (and current) Mitsubishi Lancer. Initially, Proton's inagural model in September 1985, the Proton Saga, was based largely on the 4th generation, and then-current, Mitsubishi Lancer.
To be able to do so, Proton renewed a technological transfer agreement with Mitsubishi Motors,[4] an agreement that in the mid-1980s was fundamental to Proton's origins. Mitsubishi will get the Exora for rebadge in Japan under them as the fair technology sharing. No issue of copy and paste eventhough the model is 95% same.
With the coming of Inspira, many are delighted that they can buy a Japanese model at a cheaper price. To prove this, 1,100 orders were received within the first 10 days after dealers began accepting bookings for the Inspira. Price-wise, the Inspira will cost significantly less than the Lancer in Malaysia because it is made locally, whereas the Mitsubishi is imported as a CBU from Japan. Not only are import duties lower, but the investment Proton has made to produce the model locally entitles it to financial incentives that allow it to bring down retail prices. Such incentives are offered to any company that makes its vehicles in Malaysia, but Proton gets a big chunk because it has the biggest investments, including R&D.
However, Proton has been criticized because taking advantage of their relationship with Mitsubishi Motors. This is because Proton has added Lotus handling and autocruise to the Proton Inspira that makes Proton Inspira more value for money. The Inspira has Mitsubishi powertrains with 1.8- and 2.0-liter MIVEC engines paired with CVTs. The engines have not been retuned for Proton, but the suspension settings are different from the Lancer. Grudgingly, Mitsubishi engineers have acknowledged that the tuning done by Proton's engineers has given the car sharper handling without sacrificing ride comfort. That's not surprising, since Proton has learned much from Lotus Engineering, which it has owned since 1995.This Sedan was reproduce with a better handling than the current Lancer (Lancer Ex.)
Three variants of the Inspira will be produced at Proton's Shah Alam plant: 1.8-litre Manual, 1.8-litre CVT Automatic and 2.0-litre CVT Automatic.[5]. The price start with RM78,999 for 1.8cc and up to 93,549 for 2.0CVT Premium in East Malaysia. The car comes with 4 colours, Plum Red, Genetic Silver, Tranquility Black and Solid White.

Satria Neo

The Satria Neo was introduced in June 2006 as a replacement for the first generation Satria. Based on a new platform developed in-house by Proton (with some parts borrowed from the bigger Gen-2 and Waja), the car is currently only available in a three-door hatchback guise. The car was developed at a cost of RM500 million and four years, and was expected by Proton to generate a monthly sales volume of 2,000 to 2,500 units. The car was also intended to target those who are "youthful and sporty". The Satria Neo was launched by former Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi
The entry-level Satria Neo, the 1.3 L-line, is powered by a 1.3 litre, inline-4 twin-cam Campro engine, producing 94 bhp (70 kW) at 6000 rpm and 120 N m of torque at 4000 rpm. The 1.6 M-line and top-of-the-range H-line models have 1.6 litre versions of the same engine, with an output of 110 hp (82 kW) at 6000 rpm and 148 N m of torque at 4000 rpm. Both the M-line and H-line models have active system antennae which actively search for signals in areas with poor reception. All cars have the option of either 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic gearboxes supplied by Mitsubishi that are carried over from the previous Satria, with the H-line benefitting from safety features such as twin airbags, ABS with EBD and seatbelt pre-tensioners. All versions of the car come with an integrated Blaupunkt CD player.
Criticisms of the car include the lack of headroom and legroom for rear passengers (even compared to the previous generation Satria), and lacklustre performance in comparison with the Satria GTi. The infamous torque dip of Proton's Campro engine is also present.
A Satria Neo is used as the Star in a Bog Standard Car in Top Gear Australia.
