The Javascript inheritance model was prototypal by design. But it is not very straightforward. For further explanation (and a framework that irons out some kinks), see http://devblog.techhead.biz/2009/04/prototype-based-programming-in_04.html

Many of these techniques described here are emulations of class-based languages. I believe that most of the usages of such techniques are for programmers that are accustomed to class-based languages like Java. However, JavaScript prototypal based inheritance can actually be much more powerful, and it is much more efficient to the use JavaScript as it is intended than to try to do emulations with it. Even Douglas Crockford has since stated the benefits of using prototypal object inheritance rather than emulating class inheritance: http://javascript.crockford.com/prototypal.html
