Replying to: mikevegas06 (Mar 03, 2008 8:56 pm) Once they found out what the old farmer was driving....everybody had to have one.  BTW, I was driving past my Mitsu dealer today and they had what looked to be a Lancer Raliart on display out front. The color was either Rally Red or Rave Red (was going too fast to tell for sure) with a blacked out grill and a lot of nice looking ground effects. Very impressive looking. I guess I'm glad they didn't have one when I was buying. I might be driving something different. Iluv had better stay away from the dealers, I don't think he could resist this sweet machine.

Any clues as to when the EVO MR will be out? I've been thinking I might just pony up for one even tho it will dent my budget. I've heard the GSR is out at a few dealerships but not here and the dealer says maybe a month, but they have said that every month. Also will the EVO have roadside assistance? The dealer seems to not be very well informed and they have lost a lot of sales staff due to the poor economy. Thanks

yeah, but as I look at what I already have with my Lancer GTS I feel pretty good overall about things. We're going in a week from Monday to get it's 2nd 'Auto Butler' application put on the paint. Not a bad deal, they even send you a card to remind you. We get the entire car washed/vacummed/protectant-coated in about a 2-hour appointment. And a van ride to the movie theater/mall. Decent deal and the car looks sweet when they're all done.

The Lancer Ralliart is enticing, that forthcoming Lancer Sportback Ralliart just might get me in trouble. How's the tire situation, Iluvmy? I just replaced the tires on all three of our vehicles this week. I'll be eating in for the next few months. |

Funny thing is Mitsu seems to be having a lot of trouble with their new automatic. Funny how they have had so many delays for such a highly anticipated cars. Subaru STi's are already in showrooms now. Such a shame it has such serious understeer problems. |

as to my '08 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS and it's tire situation, we are doing just fine with the local shop's fix of my LF tire(formerly the left rear tire, before the tire rotation). I no longer am losing any air and, just as important, I don't have the "pulling to the left" problem some '08 Mitsubishi Lancer owners are complaining about. For an explanation of the "pulling to the left" issue just go to '2008 Mitsubishi Lancer' here on Edmunds. During the time we were discussing this issue a poster left a link to another site, in which '08 Lancer owners blogged endlessly about how they were gonna stick it to Mitsubishi etc, etc and blah-blah-blah. It is true, a brand new Lancer shouldn't pull to the left, especially with no fix given so far from the Big M that will absolutely fix the problem. I know there is a fix that can be found, has to be, right? I guess tire rotations, re-mounting and balancings, wheel alignments, and even complete new sets of tires were not doing the trick for these '08 Lancer drivers and owners. So I'm happy about my car, fully and completely. On Monday the 17th I'm heading to the dealership we bought from in Avondale, AZ, which is about 9 miles west of Phoenix. Yep, Avondale Mitsubishi...it'll be cool to go back to where it all began.  Oh, the reason why is it's time for another 'Auto Butler' paint protectant double-coating. It looks so cool after this 'Auto Butler' treatment, men. First, they wash the outside and vacuum the interior. They get rid of all of the smashed-in bug guts on the front because they can't have them there to put the protectant coating on. So, last time this was done, my wife, son and I took one of their shuttle vans to the movie theater nearby and saw '3:15 to Yuma.' When we got back and I saw my car my eyes bugged out a tad! So this time we're gonna take a friend from Willcox and either go see a movie or "shop till we drop" was the description given of what we could go do. I'll let ya all know how she turns out late Mon. the 17th or Tuesday the 18th. To me, this is the kind of car that you get excited about cleaning up real well. mikevegas06, what Mitsubishi do you have again, the Outlander SUV?

Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (Mar 10, 2008 8:34 pm) I was traveling a circuit today and I kept passing the same dark grey Lancer in a parking lot. Damn, that is one fine looking front end on that car! Even though I passed it half a dozen times, my eye was always drawn to it. I also want to take back my former negative comments about Mitsu's "Go Time" car ads. They are actually quite nice. Defiantly geared toward the younger set but fun to watch. The Lancer ads really caught my eye. This was where there is a close-up of a guy racing his Lancer and they say something like " Three cars one spirit" or something like that. |
