Now the inspiration has arrived and named Inspira; the 1.8-2.0 litre Waja replacement Model dubbed the best from the Proton Stable as said by the salesman. Inspiration or copy_ration, its up to own's judgement. However, I like good economy. This model of Mitsubishi has been on my 'Jealous List' for quite sometimes. I love its good sizing proportion of length, width and height. The boldly aggressive styling of the actual Lancer model is not everybody's cup of tea, that's for sure. I had dreamed of a toned down front end as my ideal car... When it came up in this version of Proton model (only the front was revealed), I just know that I have to have this car...There goes my Rm1,000 for booking.
Prior to launching of 10th Nov, I read of 1,800 bookings. Mine must be one of those in the register. After the launching, the figure rose to 2,500, and I smile yet again at my shrewd thinking. My Waja must go away.. I cannot afford another cut of my salary when the Waja still has another 1 year plus to go. Anyway I need the money upfront for the deposit before the rest coming from financing agreement. Now that the full car is officially revealed, is it any surprise that the rear end is SOLID LANCER??? No... I already suspected of that. In fact that was the pivotal factor in my decision; a full blood Lancer with LOTUS Touch at the price of a Proton!!! I suspect that latter on there will be more local contents for the next production. Maybe the power window will be replaced by the infamous Proton Power Window!!!!
On top of that the Price which before hand were published at RM95,000+ is now Rm91,999.. Another cause for a smile. And another smile when I saw the small chop at front and rear screen.. the 3 stars of Mitsubishi... Next production will not have those, I am told. And at home, my wife was giving me that SMILE ..... "Nih nak kena charge penggunaan nama". A puzzle frown followed by another BIG SMILE... OMG!!!! The first three letters of Inspira were that of my wife's NAME!!!!! That's a cause for another SMILE; a painful one... Now I have no claim of it as MY Car; she'll be suing for her name's use.. :-))
Whatever, I am really looking forward to this car. Come Tuesday, I will be taking back my Waja for good to be put at 2nd hand shop. There will be about 3 weeks period of agony (so I was assured) before the BIG SMILE will be chiseled on my face. The Silver Metallic color is not so glaring as the red, but that is exactly why I chose it. I dont want too many eyes focussed on it.. I just want the SMILE and hope the good feeling will be very lasting... SMILE.
