The vehicle shown here looks very similar to the concept car Mitsubishi has been showing on the auto show circuit. That model was great looking, as is the car in the images shown above. Assuming these pixs are the real deal (as opposed to a Photoshop job), this is exactly what Mitsubishi needs to make it here.
Few peoples say "I had the pleasure of driving the 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer. Although the Embargo Game prevents me from disclosing driving impressions or releasing images of the actual car at this time, I can report coming away rather impressed.
Mitsubishi’s marketing team let us loose on some genuinely challenging mountain roads which shows a degree of confidence in the new Lancer that’s been largely absent with their current car.
While I cannot delve into specifics about the models I drove, I can say that the standard Mitsubishi Lancer comprises three trim levels, none of which is a Ralliart or EVO. Mitsubishi officials are looking to expand the former’s reach, hoping to give the name “Ralliart” an additional degree of cache among enthusiasts. On that order, consistent needling on my behalf led to the conclusion that the Ralliart will be to the EVO what the WRX is to the WRX STi. That means a meaningful bump in horsepower, torque, and overall capabilities, versus its garden-variety Lancer brethren, without encroaching on the EVO’s franchise.
It’s also worth noting that the new model was designed more as a global car than the Lancer currently in showrooms. Increases in width, power, and interior space were all done to make the car more competitive in markets outside of Japan. The fact that the car’s global reveal is set for January’s North American International Auto Show should be instructive as to the brand’s aspirations for the car, as well."
Official news: 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer car will debut at the Detroit auto show in January.
Well, I can't really say anything about the new Mitsubishi Lancer 2008 any more.
But that you think about it?
