http://media.mitsubishicars.com/detail?mid=MIT2008021561814&mime=ASC prices were announced friday by Mitsu and it seems that the sun and sound went up 250 bucks while the nav pack went down 200 and the FASTkey moved from Nav & Tech to Sun & Sound. As far as the trim levels of the car are concerned: Lancer DE Manual - $13,990.00 Lancer DE CVT - $14,890.00 Lancer ES Manual - $16,090.00 Lancer ES CVT - $16,990.00 Lancer ES-Sport Manual - $16,090.00 Lancer ES-Sport CVT - $16,990.00 Lancer GTS 2.4L Manual - $17,990.00 Lancer GTS 2.4L Sportronic CVT - $18,990.00 I've no idea what the ES Sport trim is or why it's the same price as the ES in the first place, so if anyone does know, please share? anyway, still waiting on the local mitsuplace to get me my blue GTS w/ S&S and Nav... it'll be an 09 since they haven't found me an '08. Score for me, I don't mind the rather small price increase for more hp and more torque. anyone have any info on when they'll be hitting the showrooms?

Replying to: gijoewildbill (Feb 19, 2008 10:49 pm) it would say that on the press release since it clearly says that for the GTS CVT model the price is exactly the same for the regular ES as the ES Sport the ES Sport Manual still exists as an alternative to the ES Manual. It may just require the bodykits and foglights and stuff to be added at an additional cost, but that'd be asinine to have that as a separate model than the ES just to add that as an option... Really I wish they'd explain that whole setup better lol |

| the 09 should have the sun and sound package without leather as an option. I would rather not have leather and save the money.Does anyone know if you can get that package like the 08 lancer's, without the leather? | |

| Hi everyone. Is $19,000 OTD for a base 2009 Lancer GTS (cvt) good? Or can I get a better deal than this? What would be the ideal OTD price for this? | |

Will ESC be available as an option with the '09 Lancer, at least with the GTS model? Anyone know? Please inform... Peace!<-AladdinSane<-  -

per Mitsubishi's release dated 2/15/08. I believe Mitsubishi will add it to the 2010 models as standard, given that NHTSA rules will require 75% of a manufacturers light vehicles to be equipped with the technology starting September of 2009 (and 100% 2 years later). Also, I test-drove a 2009 GTS over the weekend. Disappointingly, the dealer did not have a manual on hand (neither did two other dealers I visited that day). Thus, I drove the CVT equipped version. I left it in auto just to get a feel for this type of tranny. Initial pick-up felt a touch sluggish, it was more immediate than our automatic '06 Civic, but acceleration didn't seem to build as quickly . This could be due to the fact that the engine 'hangs' at full throttle as acceleration builds (i.e. instead of acceleration building with the revs). Meaning based on the engine feedback you'd expect to be going quicker than you are. I hope this long-winded and wordy explanation makes sense.  I then moved the stick to the manual position and started using the paddle-shifters. Initial pick-up felt better and the the traditional acceleration with rising revs communicated faster acceleration. Whether I actually accelerated quicker... Can't really say for certain since there was no one around with an accurate timing system. I felt quicker...  It most certainly is quicker than our Civic. That was no surprise considering the extra displacement, ponies and torque (despite the Lancer's extra weight). I was pleasantly surprised at how quick the shifts were using the paddle-shifters. I've driven cars with manumatics before and expected shifts to be slow and lagging. It certainly wasn't as quick as a DSG, but much quicker than the aforementioned. The test-drive was too short to really get a feel for the car, but steering feedback was good (less vibration than in the Civic), turn in was quick (not quite as quick as the Civic), and grip was good (equal to the Civic). The ride felt very similar to our Civic, smooth over even pavement, firm, but not harsh. The only place where the interior of the Civic really beats out the Lancer is with the padded soft-touch material Honda used on the top of the doors and dash. Other than that, the plastics in the Civic are pretty much the same quality as those in the Lancer. The HVAC on the Civic has a cleaner appearance vs. the Lancer's somewhat of an afterthought design. Feel of the HVAC controls was also better in the Civic, with its smooth rotating dials vs. the Lancer's more mechanical feel. All other design elements and controls were of equal quality, IMHO. The Lancer does have more room in the backseat. The seats appeared to be equally comfortable, though again the time I spent in the Lancer was too short to make a definitive determination. I also liked the struts for the boot-lid, err... trunk-lid. Hmm... It's been a long day and I can't remember some of the things I wanted to mention... I open the floor to any questions. |
