Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IX Wagon - the first and last of its kind?

Picture this: it’s 2005. Pre-pandemic days, and you’re right in between hundreds of people watching cars roll in a mall’s parking space. It’s car show weekend, and with ears honed through many rev battles you could probably tell what’s heading just by exhaust noise. It's a Lancer Evo...or is it? “Yeah, that’s an Evo”, you confidently tell your mate as the familiar low-rev burble is accompanied by a familiar face. Sharp headlights, ‘move over’ grin, three diamonds on the grille - yup, that’s the

Used Proton Inspira for RM 20k! This or the Mitsubishi Lancer?

It has been 5 years since Proton has discontinued sales of the Proton Inspira, but demand for the car has yet to wane and finding a good used unit is like looking for a needle in the haystack. But for RM 20,000, should you still get a used Proton Inspira or should you just opt for the Inspira’s donor car, the Mitsubishi Lancer instead? The Proton Inspira has always been an interesting product. It came years after Proton has proudly moved on from just rebadging Mitsubishi vehicles and started pro

Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IX Wagon - yang pertama dan yang terakhir?

Bayangkan ini: Tahun 2005. Hari pra-pandemik, dan anda benar-benar berada di antara ratusan orang yang menyaksikan kereta menyusur di tempat letak kenderaan di pusat membeli-belah. Ia adalah pertunjukan kereta hujung minggu, dan dengan telinga yang digerakkan oleh banyak pertempuran, anda mungkin dapat mengetahui apa yang akan tiba hanya dengan bunyi ekzosnya. Ia adalah Lancer Evo...atau adakah ia benar? "Yeah, itu ialah Evo", anda dengan yakin memberitahu pasangan anda kerana deruman putaran re

Panduan kereta terpakai: Proton Inspira kini hanya RM 20k, beli ini atau Mitsubishi Lancer terus?

Proton bermula daripada asas yang dibekalkan oleh Mitsubishi. Oleh yang demikian, agak menyegarkan apabila selepas kehadiran Proton Waja, Proton Gen 2 dan Proton Saga (generasi kedua), Proton kembali merujuk bersama Mitsubishi demi kelangsungan hidup dalam industri automotif yang mencabar. Hasil daripada gandingan ini, Proton memperolehi ‘lesen’ untuk membangunkan sebuah lagi model berasaskan model Mitsubishi. Sudah tentu, Proton memilih model paling hangat zaman itu, Mitsubishi Lancer melalui M

The Proton Sembilu, Malaysia’s homemade Lancer Evo with 4G63T and AWD

In 1994, Proton successfully asserted its dominance as the best-selling carmaker in Malaysia thanks to the immediate success of the fairly new Proton Wira. However, for those who wished the Wira could have a bit more oomph as it was based on the Mitsubishi Lancer, Edaran Otomobil Nasional (EON) had just the solution. At its headquarters in Shah Alam 27 years ago, EON debuted the Proton Sembilu to the media and it was a truly exquisite-looking Wira. EON enhanced the style by adding a sporty front

Seperti mana anda sedia maklum, model kereta Proton menggunakan asas daripada jenama Mitsubishi. Jadi secara tak langsung timbul persoalan tentang ada atau pun tidak perancangan untuk model berprestasi tinggi. Tambahan pula, Proton pun aktif dengan sukan rali ketika itu dengan Petronas EON Racing Team. Jadi apakah jawapannya: semestinya. K

This stillborn Mitsubishi Galant was supposed to challenge the Camry and Accord

A lot happens in a carmaker's history - some can sell 10 million cars in just 23 years, some formulas can remain unchanged for more than five decades while some pivoted straight into the world of SUVs. Which brings me neatly to this, the Mitsubishi Concept ZT, or what could have been the Galant. Mitsubishi Motors aren't too hot on sedans these days, with the Lancer (yes, the old one the Proton Inspira was based on) and Mirage G4 (Attrage as we once knew it) being sold in very select markets - Ma

Toothpaste! Most of you will instantly have the red and white colours of Colgate pop in your head. Likewise when I say rally! Your mind snaps to the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. It's hard to blame anyone for that. It's just heuristics. The Lancer Evo has become synonymous with rallying - flying through forests, exhaust going off like a machine gun - and it's no surprise they won the World Rally Championship (WRC) with Tommi Makinnen four times consecutively from 1996 to 1999.

As a company, Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) have seen better days. Yes, the company still enjoys a strong market presence, especially in 4x4s and it’s still the only brand that’s in a position to challenge the Toyota Hilux's dominance, but it’s safe to say that company have long passed its peak. More than 100 ago, Mitsubishi Motors’ predecessor, the Mitsubishi zaibatsu conglomerate built Japan’s first series production car – the Model A, which was a copy of the Fiat Tipo 3. At its peak, th

Mitsubishi ASX – Old but is it still worth your attention?

For (new) old cars that are currently still on sale in Malaysia like the Mitsubishi ASX, there are two ways to look at them. The first would be “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”, a method utilized by some manufacturers to continue selling an old model with little or no updates over the course of its lifespan. Then there’s the saying “aged like fine wine”, which we reckon should be used to describe the Mitsubishi ASX. Like a good bottle of wine that takes time to age, Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia t
