the new proton waja

this is some snap shot from someone using a camera phone of the new coming proton waja.

from the pictures, it is clearly seen that it is based on the latest mitsubishi lancer.

i find it surprising as i thought proton would have used the previous generation lancer as its based where previously there were some leaked pictures as well, with proton's badge on it. but the car was never released.

check out below snapshots for upcoming waja. notice the badge, it looks almost like today's proton batch.

on second thought... could it because of a lot of waja owner actually loves mitsubishi lancer so much that makes proton decided to build the next coming waja base on mitsubishi lancer?
