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. |

I was wondering if I could order a spoiler on the ES "middle" Lancer model. I bet ya dollars to glazed Winchell's Apple Fritters that we could order a spoiler on an ES or not get a wrapped steering wheel if we don't want one. However, I have been wrong before so let's take this on and find out the answer before we go in to deal. I am even more excited about these Lancer's than I am about the 2007 Suzuki SX4's. This is the car I have been waiting for and it doesn't look like it's gonna be over-priced, either.

the 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer.  Look closely at the numbers in the middle. It looks like a temp.gauge(outside temp.gauge) and a running computation miles-per-gallon-onamer there. Very nice. The 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer ES comes with front disc brakes and rear drum brakes and ABS with Electronic Brake Force Distribution for added safety. Estimates are for the DL(low end Lancer) model pricing at around $14,000. Like to see what they're pricing the ES at. I want one!

a 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer ES model, the one in the middle of the features-grouping, here's a picture of a Lancer ES for you.  Note the 5-spoke aluminum alloy wheels on the new 4-door sedan. Looks good to me. The ES model also comes standard with a good armrest in the middle console for driver and passenger. Looks like everything I would want is on the ES model, including power everything, cruise control, 160 watt stereo, ABS, front discs, EBD and air conditioning. The 5-speed manual transmission is standard on the '08 Lanccer, so that fits like a glove right outta the box. I was waiting for Kia to come out with a small sporty car like this but I didn't see one that fit me quite right, or I would stick to my favorite Kia. The 2007 Kia Optima is now #2 on my futures list for our next new car. The '01 Sportage 4x4 is just about paid off so let's let the battle...I...I mean negotiations begin.
