    Oh my! What is happening to this model? No attraction at all.
    Seems like I’ve met this model before. Yea! I saw it in 1982.
    However, if mitsubishi offer me for free, I’ll take it. To make ‘TUKUN’. To buy it, NO WAY!

    Ugly front. Back looks too much like Sonata. Dash should have a full size LCD display. Meters should have been Optitron styled like most other luxurious cars today. No steering mounted controls. Mitsi is not doing too good nowadays.

    Nice big reversing lights.

    I know most people will say the Koreans copies Japanese. But this is the other way around! Lots of Hyundai Kia inspired styling.

    Aiya…. I don’t think Proton will base anymore model on Mitsi. Judging from Gen2 to New Saga, they’ve proven that they can produce their own cars. So I doubt, Tahir will want to look back at old chapters of Proton’s history.

    The Australian A380 is much better looking than this, despite sitting on the same platform & interior.
