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.

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. |

Replying to: oldfarmer50 (Feb 14, 2007 11:36 am) Going fast in a straight line isn't much of a selling point for me, unless of course they have everything else right too. Then it's nice icing. 7.7 for your entry level sedan offering, especially with decent handling, ride and braking, plus some nice styling is a win, IMO. |
