Yeah. The pure e-car version costs way too much for ordinary public consumption. I agree, the hybrid makes more sense for now. I'm glad that Mitsu is working hard to stay in America. Seems like some people want Mitsu to die and go away -- I just don't get it. Competition makes the products we buy that much better.

Oldfarmer,
I'm with you. I just don't see how that 3.8 is gonna live much longer if they don't covert it over to aluminum. Even, if they do that, I think it's too big for cars based on the Lancer platform. Either way, I hope the Eclipse lives on for years to come.
 
I forgot that you had a Chrysler with an earlier version of that engine. I used to love the Sebring coupe.
 
I drove a used 06 Eclipse GT (manual) last week. Before I drove it, the sales guy said, "You're not gonna believe how powerful this thing is. And it's smooth and sounds great when you start to get on it." He was right. I'm not sure if I could contain myself if I drove it everyday.
 
Psychogun - thanks for the info.

Apex Silver was and still is my 3rd favorite color... by iluvmysephia1

choice for new world order Mitsubishi Lancer GTS'.
 

 
Lookin' good, huh? I think the reason it works is those very cool Seattle Sonic 10-spokers.
 
With how fun to drive this car is because it is designed and built by experts to hug and hold the road, this car is the automotive pinnacle in sporty, fun-to-drive cars that also look so very hot and sexy.
 
This is it my car-crazy buddies.

I agree. That's a good look in silver. Have you driven the 2.4L yet?

no, I have not, but there is a very aggressive salesman or two at my Avondale, AZ, dealer who would love me to. Last time I was in there I looked at a car just like mine but it would have had the 2.4L because it was an '09.
 
This was a very cool looking '09 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS because it was in the Mitsubishi paint shade of "Ignition Orange", much like that new Eclipse orange. Nice looking car, it had the automatic CVT tranny, too. And it had the same Sun and Sound package mine has.
 

 
It just don't get no betta than this, gentlemen.

Mitsu June 09 Sales by mikevegas06

July 1, 2009 --CYPRESS, Calif. --
Mitsubishi Motors North America (MMNA) today announced June 2009 sales of 4,362. June sales showed a modest increase over May of this year. However, this month over month sales increase defies the typical seasonality trend for this period.
 
"While June was a challenging sales month for automakers, there are indications that U.S. auto sales are entering a long, slow turn in the right direction. We are encouraged by the improved May and June sales figures showing a month over month increase, and hope to strengthen this momentum in the coming months," said MMNA Executive Vice President of Operations John Koenig.
 
Koenig said there's additional good news for MMNA on the product front. "The five-door Lancer Sportback Ralliart and GTS that we're adding to our lineup this summer are being enthusiastically received by dealers," he added. "This is an exciting extension of the award-winning Lancer family of economical and fun-to-drive cars."
 
Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc., (MMNA) is responsible for all manufacturing, finance, sales, and marketing operations for Mitsubishi Motors in the United States. MMNA sells coupes, convertibles, sedans, sport utility vehicles, and light trucks through a network of approximately 420 dealers.

Hey... by iluvmysephia1

is this the new Ralliart Lancer in Ignition Orange, or is it a new EVO X in Ignition Orange? It doesn't have the EVO X wheel wells, it must be the new Lancer Ralliart. Good lookin' vehicle.
 
I focus so much on my Mitsubishi Lancer GTS and don't pay attention to the other Lancers. Is this the Ralliart Lancer for 2009?
 

 
Wow, we're both up pretty early in the AM this AM. I go to work later this AM at 6:00, work four hours and then go on my week off. Whoo-hoo!
 
The '08 Lancer has an appointment tomorrow AM at Jim Click Mitsubishi in Tucson. Oil change and I'll probably get a tire rotation, too, the Pirelli P-Zero Nero's I've had since December, put about 10,000 miles on them, and haven't had them rotated yet. I am a believer in the wisdom of having your radials rotated, too. They just opened up their Mitsu store, though Jim Click has like 12 other Tucson car dealerships. He's huge, one of the nation's most successful car dealership conglomerates. Which is really good news for my Mitsubishi future. I plan on researching an all-electric or more likely a hybrid i-MiEV round about 2013.
 
Once can never start planning their next new car purchase too soon, eh?

roll, here's another one.
 

 
The car looks good in this color, too, and I'm not very familiar with the steel metallic grey this appears to be. I sure like their Ignition Orange, I like it a lot.

Yep. That's the Ralliart, new for 09. The wheels, front bumper, and the tiny insignia on the left (driver's side) of the front grill are indicators in your pic. The Sportback (hatchback) returns late this summer as a 2010 model and it will have a Ralliart version as well. I'm very interested in the Sportback.
 
A new Mitsu store has opened? WOW! As you stated, that is good news for Mitsu.
 
Hope that everyone had a good holiday.

That is a sharp Lancer. That's cool they're coming out with the Sportback, too.
