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.

2008 Mitsubishi Lancer is to just order the GTS version, the one that has the 650 watt Rockford Fosgate stereo CD/MP3 player with the subwoofer in the trunk, remote entry/start, 4-wheel disc brakes w/ABS and EBD, bluetooth, 7" Nav screen, rear spoiler(it's the look with this rear spoiler that has drawn me into wanting the top line Lancer)and the leather-wrapped steering wheel. This one is said to cost $18,000-$19,000 but trading the Sportage in and getting the best trade in on the small S.Korean SUV as a down payment will help defray those costs. Once I saw I couldn't order a DL or GS Lancer with the rear spoiler and bodykit(which makes the '08 Lancer come alive and look great)I realized I just had to have the GTS model. I will get one with the 5-speed manual tranny, so no added cost there. The 5-speed is Mitsubishi's standard equipment transmission on the '08 Lancer. Which color do I want? Top choice now is the silver. The Seattle Sonic wheels look awesome with the silver Lancer. |

I like what I see in the new Lancer. I've liked the look of the Outlander for some time. And I'm another one of those folks that had a Mitsu engine in a Chrysler (98 Sebring convertible). You can hear there's a "but" coming right? I'm here at the Jersey shore in a county with half a million people in it and not one Mitsubishi dealer. There had been one paired with the Toyota dealership but they converted it to a Scion dealership. Then one of the megadealers picked up Mitsu and dropped them. Really dropped them - they left the building empty a couple of years ago. It's still empty with the same group's Dodge dealership sitting right next to it. |

me: one in Sierra Vista, AZ, which is about 90 miles SW. There is another one in Tucson, AZ, which is about 80 miles west of us. I like the fact that there's a great Warranty with these Mitsubishi's. Similar to Hyundai/Kia's Long-Haul Warranty Mitsubishi also offers a 10 year, 100,000 mile Warranty. I'm going for the 2008 Mistsubishi Lancer GTS in 5-speed form in Apex Silver color. I will pass on the package that offers the 650 watt Rockford Fosgate stereo system unless it is packaged in a way that doesn't add a lot to the purchase price. There is already a 140 watt stereo that comes standard and the Rockford Fosgate plus the other things offered with it don't mean enough to me for what would probably need to be paid. I say this because pricing is not out yet and all of this is conjecture at this point.

Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (Feb 08, 2007 8:14 pm) I wouldn't get a head of myself quite yet because the new Astra, looks pretty darn sweet also and will be priced in Lancer territory.  I think it's like #1 or #2 in Europe in sales Rocky |

yes, I have and it does look pretty good. I've started to really enjoy some of the Lancer's design features, though, including the taillights and decklid. I think Mitsu body designers did a great job with it. That nose in the front really protrudes, doesn't it? Looking straight on at the small sedan from the front also looks great. I am heading towards getting one of these and I've been in touch with the salesman by e-mail. He says he drives a Misubishi Montero SUV and loves it. I'll keep y'all posted. Hey, rockylee, let me know where ZZ Top is going to play next. I'm only 225 miles from El Paso. Once I have the Lancer '08 I'll take the Mrs. over to Texas for a ZZ Top concert. I remember one in 1975 at the Seattle Center Coliseum that blew me away!

Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (Feb 09, 2007 8:03 am) Sorry I can't help with the ZZ Top thing as I'm not much of a fan, nor do I listen to their music much unless I hear a song of theirs on the radio by older co-workers listening to classic rock. Rocky P.S. the Lancer is a pretty nice car. I however like the Saturn Astra a tad better now. I still really like the new EVO-X though. |
