have not met any of those yet, so I cannot correctly answer your question. though, we can spot that LGT and Inspira's paintwork is different in a big way. LGT's paintwork is more neatly done and solid.how about if that inspira change to ori LGT bodykit and rims?? can ur wife differentiate it?
The Mitsubishi Evo X is the last one
I’ve just spent an engaging half-hour in the company of Gayu Eusegi, Mitsubishi’s global product director.
Mostly we talked about the new Global Small Concept, which will be built in Thailand and sized somewhere between a Toyota Aygo and the Colt supermini. It’ll go on UK sale in 2012, effectively replacing the Colt in the line-up.
But also he told me some news, which seemed to surprise a few Mitsubishi Europe bods as much as it did me.
The Lancer Evolution X, Eusegi told me, will be the last Evo. “There is still a demand [for the car],” he said, “but we must stop.” Eyebrow up.
“Our influence now is EV technology,” Eusegi said, adding that the decision was a “policy change”.
It seems Mitsubishi, which is going to introduce eight full electric or hybrid cars by 2015, has decided its image is about lowering CO2, not making lurid replicas of rally cars that don’t go top-level rallying any more.
Eusegi said that customers would find it “easier to understand” what Mitsubishi was about if it was no longer in this motorsport-inspired market.
He seemed to put the rumoured diesel hybrid Evo replacement to bed, too. So the X will be the last Evolution model? “Yes. Maybe the world can change, and maybe someday we can do a motor race by electric vehicles,” said Eusegi. “Maybe then we can enter the market again.”
Until then, prepare yourselves for the end of an era.

after this maybe can buy this cheaper evo police car..after they lelong for tender..Mitsubishi has pulled out the Evolution, Lancer Evo X would be the last...for now
Dont forget about the seats, steering and the cd player..as long as it same with ori...oklah.somemore save rm30k for mod,change ori sport rim,bodykit,logo (front and rear)totally same with lancer ori...other ppl dunno!what u say bro?
Sumore the Fuel Filling Cap.....Dont forget about the seats, steering and the cd player..
how about Evo 10 is driving around and an LANCER GT with EVO 10 bodykit comes by?It's the honour and spirit of driving a car that seperates you from the normal crowd. That's what we Mitsubishi owners are proud of. Originality.
I'm not saying I don't like Proton, I own a Wira, but it's nice because the chassis and engine was derived from Mitsubishi anyway. But the badging.
It's like buying a GTO from Pontiac. Or a Holden. or a Vauxhall Monaro. They're the same, but just the styling and badgings are different. Well, American cars have a different status from what our market currently offers.
What we see now is exactly the same as how we see the Wira. A Lancer rebadged. Let's say a Wira Evo 3 is driving around and an Evo 3 comes by. What will the Evo 3 owner feel? How will the Wira driver feel?
So the situation now is Proton offering the Inspira and Mitsubishi offering the Lancer GT. It's up to the buyer's verdict of choosing either the more affordable poser, or the more expensive original.
real evo owners more open minded.happened to me all the time.. no problem..sometimes, i dont even know either its original or convert..hehehe. damn those bodykits do look original....from FAR.
if some chinese car makers were to really pirate and produce an Ultimate Fake LGT and sell it here for RM50k, i think the LGT owner will be cool with that.hahah i understand that Lancer GT oweners are pissed and i know where their rage is coming from, but for me the inspira isnt a fake or a copy. Its not like one day proton engineers were like "ok, we copy this car ar. OK" lol, they had an agreement whaat!
Its not that proton doesnt have any originality or what not cause we've seen that they can produce a proper car, example exora, persona. Its just strategic marketing.
And besides sure there's suddenly gonna be ALOT of lancer gts out there, but when it all comes down to it, when the ladies look.... its a proton key :p
Just my 2 cent
of coz la coz goverment got money there...they started the business b4 so they must involve directly or indirect coz must get return to whatever they invest... same other country oso... mostly indirectly they protect their own products...
