Reader Melvin spotted these three Mitsubishi Lancer GLX cars with trade plates turning out of Proton Shah Alam’s side exit (not the one facing KESAS). In any other circumstance you would think these were just regular Lancers from a Mitsubishi showroom out for a test drive and there’s probably a chance that they are, however turning out from Proton Shah Alam rings some bells. There’s really nothing to tell though from these photos, except the fact that it’s an indicator that the Proton Lancer rebadge project is still on and is probably going to be unveiled before the end of the year. Look after the jump for two more photos of the other two cars.
UPDATE: Something interesting… the cars in this story can’t be locally sourced Lancers as our Malaysian market cars sold by Mitsubishi Malaysia do not feature a keyhole on the boot as per Lancers in other overseas markets. This must be something Proton brought in from somewhere else.
AD: Drive the Proton model of your dreams. Submit your details and Proton PJ will get in touch with you.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments show excitement and curiosity about the possible rebadged Mitsubishi Lancer from Proton, with some criticizing the Hyundai-Kia share platform approach and others doubting the quality and specifications. Many express hope for an affordable, well-equipped model, but some doubt Proton's ability to produce a comparable quality car at a lower price. There are also concerns about the impact on existing owners and the possibility of negative equity. Overall, sentiments highlight anticipation, skepticism, and a desire for Proton to deliver value, though opinions vary on whether rebadging is a positive or negative strategy.
