What's the fuel economy on the 08' Lancer ? It would be interesting to see what the 3's will be on the EVO-X  Rocky

Dropped by the local Mitsu dealer today to walk around and check things out. The local hiphop station was broadcasting live on the lot and blaring rap music. I u-turned it out of there--maybe another day after hours... |

I didn't mean to stir the pot in the 09' Skyline forum but dude it looks like a waste of money to buy a Nissan Skyline when the EVO-X gives you probably more handeling technology for half the money. The Mitsubishi dealer I would assume won't be selling this car for $10K over sticker either like the Nissan dealers. Rocky |

mileage figures are 21 city and 29 highway. BTW-ZZ Top is playing on April 24th here in Prescott Valley(a Phoenix burb)but I have to work. I don't like to take time off for rock concerts so I may drive to Vegas to see the little 'ole band from Texas.  I'll disclose more information on the '08 Mitsubishi Lancer as soon as I find it out. I have sent e-mails looking for answers all over the planet(literally). I do know that the Lancer is coming to dealers in March and I don't know '08 Lancer prices. I got one e-mail back from a Mitsubishi corporate branch saying that they couldn't tell me prices yet but expect the '08 Lancer to start out at $14,000 for the GL model(the lowest end Lancer model). One does get a great car for that $14,000, though. Gotta purchase one of these cars, man!

Caught the tail end of a news article about low speed damage tests. Many of the most popular models got $4000 or more damage from a 6mph bump. The Galant was an exception with less than $1500 damage. Anyone know the web site for these tests? I'd like to see how the other Mitsu models faired. BTW, they also tested a 1981 Ford Excort. Total damage....$89. |

$89 means the Escort was totalled.... I figure the value of an 81 Escort on an insurance claim would vary by how much gas was in the tank. |
|
| really been attracted to Mitsubishi's products in the past because they weren;t my style with the exception of the 95-99 Eclipse, (99-01 Galant and the Endeavor SUV each a little bit) but the new Outlander looks like a great product. The styling looks great but I haven;t sat in the inside. Looks like Mitsubishi made a great product this time around! | |
|
|
| ...the new Lancer with the Mazda 3 and the Honda Civic Si? How about the Eclipse with the Toyoda Solara and Mazda RX 8? Which would you choose based on power, handling and looks? | |

that sounds too exhausting to participate in. So I'll just tell you that I'm too enamored by the good looks of the 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer to even care how it compares to the rest. I want one! Oh, I'll throw one easy comment in...maybe two! The Lancer stacks up very, very well against any other new compact. 7.6 seconds in the 0-60 and very good road manners. A big, fat steering wheel wrapped in leather and a stick shift wrapped in leather. It has way more(56%)torsional toughness than the outgoing Lancer and it has all those racing victories right in it's bloodlines. Mitsubishi engineers have re-routed the exhaust on the new Lancer to make room for a large stout reinforcement member running underneath the 2.0L motor. Stout sway bars front and rear and this baby handles like a dream. It's a true Champion before even hitting the streets of America in mid to late March of 2008. Come on-get here!
