Proton Mirage

Soon after the Mitsubishi Mirage was launched in Malaysia, I’ve receive emails and suggestions to rebadge the Mirage as a Proton; much like how the Lancer is “borrowed” officially as Proton Inspira. If you are among them hoping for more Proton-badged Mitusbishi, you’d be disappointed. Cars Bikes Trucks confirmed with Ryujiro Kobashi, Mitsubishi Motors Corporation’s vice corporate general manager for Asia and ASEAN office, Mitsubishi’s relationship with Proton has almost disappeared. Kobashi added that Mitsubishi’s memorandum of understanding with Proton has already expired and the company will not be extending it.
