Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (Feb 11, 2007 12:49 pm) I think you would not only be insane but in the end be disappointed not getting the Sunroof and 650 Watt Rockford Fosgate system. My buddy Brad, had a 93' Ford Probe with a Fosgate system. In the hatch was 4-12 inch subs in glass with neon lighting which was SWEEEET !!!! He had a amp that was the size of a piano keyboard. He had Rockford Fosgate mids 2-6 1/2's in the rear seats 2-tweeters in the front A pillars and 2- 4 1/2's in the doors. I think a total of 10 speakers and that car would hit so hard that it would honestly make your heart skip beats and sometimes knock the wind out of you.  God, I'd love to sit in that car one last time. He took his equipment out several years ago and sold his probe. I was mad at him. I was like Brand, you gave up that car for a 97' BMW M3 because he thought it would pick up chics.  iluv, I actually am a big GM fan and do like some Ford products. I support the UAW Chrysler workers and feel sorry for them they aren't allowed to build a decent car outside of the Viper. I mean that !!!! Ford's future isn't looking very good. GM, appears to have steered the ship clear of the iceberg.  iluv, I'm afraid of the EVO-X pal. I'm very attracted to it's styling like I've been saying for a long time. It also has the greatest AWD system ever invented by man. It so awesome one might think god might of played a role in its mechanicals. The S-AWC might be banned from racing like Audi's Quattro system years ago if it proves to be to superior. I've seen test mules with this new system and I must say it looks like it will have unfair advantages. I also have recognized that like the new Lancer, the EVO-X finally has received a sophisticated upscale interior and is receiving a lot of useful features and the refinement appears to be almost worthy of a ELLPS. I will go out on a limb and say the 08' EVO-X has at least as nice of a interior as a current TL, and I could argue the same for the 08' Lancer GTS from all the up close photo's I've seen. One other feature the EVO-X I like is the dual-clutch automatic that appears to be a reversed engineered 6-speed DSG Audi unit that grabs the other gear before fully releasing making lighting quick shifts no human can match. I've heard different horspepower numbers being throwin around. Some say only 300 hp and others are saying up to 325 hp. If this car can go 0-60 in 4.5 or less this car will be a huge hit. It will be very interesting to see how much the MSRP will be on the EVO-X ????? I don't expect it to be fully loaded more than $36K but we will see. I like I said before iluv, need to stay away from this poison pill. I feel I could easily catch myself swallowing this poison pill at my local mitsubishi dealer thus I need to steer clear. I made the mistake of telling a salesman at the Mitsubishi dealership I love the new EVO-X. He occassionally sends me stuff in the mail about Cadillac's since I bought my 02' Seville STS from their dealership. The dealership is a Cadillac-Mitsubishi dealership and we had a conversation on the phone because I'm kinda looking for a used car. Well we got talking about cars I liked and thus I know for a fact I'm going to get attacked by him with EVO-X brochures this summer trying to bait me with the EVO's poison hook. I don't want to be a hypocrite and thus I might need counceling to stay away.  Rocky P.S. keep me posted on your situation

this new EVO-X sounds like it's been carefuly planned to take on any and all competition. I especially liked this part: "Mitsubishi engineers hope that an all-new turbocharged inline-4 will provide enough power to cope with the extra weight. Designated the MB11, this all-aluminum, DOHC 2.0-liter design has symmetrical cylinder dimensions, which should deliver free-revving performance. Mitsubishi's MIVEC variable-valve-timing technology has been applied to both camshafts to broaden the power band." That sounds like it will add to fuel economy and also provide performance. Also less fuel emissions, as a good variable-valve timing engine should. Sweet. Applying power to both camshafts ought to work to provide a more seamless, free-flowing camshaft operation. Of course, this technology also applies to the three "regular" Lancer trims, so my GTS will have it. My latest strong feeling is towards the Rally Red color selection. As far as the Sun and Sound package, I like it. Why not. A sunroof would be cool and a 650-watt Rockford Fosgate stereo? Yikes. My Foghat would blast the neighbors' windows out. Imagine that. I'll cruise the Lancer over to Tejas for a ZZ Top concert. That wouuld be sweet.

Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (Feb 13, 2007 11:00 am) Rocky P.S. I called on the 07' GMC Sierra Denali, and I think I have my mind made up finally as that should be my next vehicle.

Guys guys, right now in the market there is not a better car than the EVO, i'm talking if you go the most for your buck, same with the lancer, right now mitsubishi its the company who give you more for the less. What you have to do its watch videos of evos eating lambos and ferraris, and you will see what this car is capable of, its truly an amazing car. Right came out of the factory its ready to smash the M3 and any other car at the track, if you invest to upgrade the turbo, and some other parts, you will literally beat anybody. So the car its going to be around 40k at the dealer, the fully loaded maybe more, right now thats the price and they dont allow drive test, unless the owner of the dealer buy one and let you tested. I have an 06 eclipse, it was the first one to use a mivec, if i put a supercharger the car will make 367whp, some more and will be making 400hp. But i'm not getting that cause i will change it for the evo X when came out

those EVO prices. My '08 Mitsubushi Lancer GTS should come in around $20,000 or $21,000 with the Sun and Sound Package. I would love to have one with a sunroof and the 650 watt Rockford Fosgate. You're right, rock, I'd be kickin' myself if I didn't get those. Boys, I have fallen hard for the great looks of this Mitsubishi. I didn't realize Mitsubishi's engineering team was so talented but they are. Mitsu is going to start turning it's modern-day Titanic around miss the iceberg with the 2008 Lancer and the 2008 EVO-X. If you take the time to read the links we've been putting in this thread and the 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer thread here on Edmunds you will see what we mean. Gonna be an awesome ride. |

Mitsu applies the same efforts into a new Galant and maybe (if we're lucky) a modern day 3000GT, they'll be in much safer waters. The Outlander and certainly the Lancer are steps in the right direction. I wanna see an Evo coupe! |

Motor Trend. They tested a 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS and obtained a 0-60 time of 7.7 seconds. They said the car's state of tune was "sporty in an everyday car sort of way". Works well for me. The body is built with more rigidity(56% more stiff then the last Lancer)and the weight of the car is 3032 lbs. All of this adds up to help the Lancer's handling. Another thing I like is the thick steering wheel and also mentionable are the 18" 10-spoke wheels. Disc brakes all around. The list of fine safety implements(7 airbags)is solid and the car's lines are plain beautiful. It has an unusual front end. It can look squared off and it can also look shark-nosed like Hyundai's Tiburon. I grow more excited every day to test drive one of these Lancer's. |
