I use to live in Peru (south america for the retards), and we have japanese and asian cars before usa, but we had before only american cars, my grandpa had like 6, then came asian cars and took over the market together with the european cars, we have Toyota, Nissan, Mitsu, Hyundai, Daewoo, Kia, Susuki, Sang yong (Asia)Volkswagen, Audi, Bmw, Mercedes Benz, Alfa romeo, Volvo, Renault, citroen, Peugeot, Seat, Ferrari, Lambo, Jaguar, etc. (europe) And imagine that now we dont have USA cars, only ford and chevy. And a few, very few chryslers. Now imagine that asian cars and europeans are under same categories prices, thats why i was telling you that they dont want that to happen here or bye bye domestics. Well, my first car was a 82' nissan sunny, it was a good car but automatic transmission, by the way i hate automatic, it takes away all the fun, real cars use Stick shift. Then i bought a 92 hyundai sonata, by the way the sonata exists since 86 or before. This sonata had a mitsubishi engine, i swear like 200,000 miles and nothing never broke, it was really fast, never major serviced or nothing, i'm telling i pushed that motor to the limits, it was a really BAD ASS, not because it was big or stupid fast, it was built to last forever, when i left Peru the car still working like new, on the way i bought a 89 Ford Bronco Eddie Bauer from an american that worked on the american embassy, in 2 years and less than 100,000 miles i had two replace pretty much everything. My Nissan broke like 10 times too, my aunt peugeot the same, my friends cars also, bmw's, benz's, alfa's, but my hyundai with lancer engine never did. That car was the S*h*i*t |

| I do think that Mitsu is in the middle of turning things around. Last spring I looked at a Galant. I was impressed with the power and looks, but my wife vetoed me and we ended up with an Accord EX. In December, we bought a 2000 Eclipse GT for our 17 year old son. Great car. Lots of power and looks. Just for fun, our son tried out an 07 Eclipse GT. He actually preferred his 2000. He said the 07 felt too big on the outside and too cramped on the inside. It is a really sharp looking car though. I really like the new Outlander and the 08 Lancer looks to be a great product. I'm looking forward to a new Galant. Maybe I can trade my Sienna minivan on one. | |
Mitsubishi can't claim that they're starting to turn things around while they're still losing hundreds of millions of dollars every year. They're surviving only because the other Mitsubishi companies gave them a $10 billion cash infusion.

Replying to: carguy58 (Jan 25, 2007 3:41 pm) Don't be so sure. Silenet Shaft, an implementation of balance shaft Mitsu had done in 1975, had been licensed to Fiat, Saab, and Porche. Maybe it's a little thing. If it wasn't a good idea, tell the group why other manaufacturers wanted to technology. |

that site has some good views of the new '08 Lancer. Good informative article, too. It looks like I would go for the middle model, the ES, that has power w's, l's and m's and air conditioning and the 16" wheels. The 160 watt Pioneer would be good for sound and I would want the 5-speed model. Your link listed a base DE '08 Lancer for only $14,000, so I wonder if the ES would run around $15,000 for the 5-speed stick. Pretty reasonable. Sounds like the "middle" grade model also has an armrest on the console. The dash lighting system looks great. I have now placed the 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer ES 5-speed in Boysenberry Blue at the very top of my futures list. At $15,000-$15,500 I would definitely pop for one of these. They hit the styling right smack on top of the nailhead on this Lancer. Nice to see!

wrong with one of those '08 Lancers. They are sharp. I think that Mitsubishi has a solid engineering team and I would trust the build on the car. Even though it's a first year model how many years has Mitsu been making the Lancer? Lots of 'em! They'll build 'em to last. What's cool is that they're not pricing them outta sight. I'm definitely interested! How's the Warranty on these cars? Isn't it 10 years, 70,000 miles or something like that? |

is same as Hyundai/Kia's. The guy that ran Hyundai/Kia, and started this whole 10/100K deal in 1999, he ran Mitsubishi for a short period of time, and got them to go along with a Hyundai-Like Warranty, which they still have today. http://www.ae-plus.com/OEM%20News/News-103.htm Finbarr O'Neill was the guy. This is an extremely nit-picky thing, but I wonder why you can Not order(as an option) the leather wrapped steering wheel/shifter for the Mid-Level Lancer? I guess I could get a "Wal-Mart" 10 dollar "leather" wrap for the steering wheel, if it bothered me sooo much. Maybe they did not mention it in the article above, or I just happen missed it? take care/not offense. |
