Mitsubishi Announces Pricing for All-New 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer

Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) has announced pricing for its all-new 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer compact sedan. The rally-inspired 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer delivers driven-to-thrill dynamics, "class-up" value, advanced safety and cutting-edge user-technology in an aggressively styled package. The 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer will start at a manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of $13,990 for the value-minded DE model. The well-equipped Mitsubishi Lancer ES will start at $15,990 and the sporty Mitsubishi Lancer GTS, with available class-leading technology, starts at $17,490.

All Mitsubishi Lancer models are front-wheel drive and powered exclusively by a new all-aluminum MIVEC 4-cylinder engine teamed to a five-speed manual transmission, achieving 152-hp (Federal emissions). A Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (P-ZEV) engine achieves 143-hp. Each of the three trim lines offered for the 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer -- the value-minded DE, the well equipped ES and the sporty GTS -- is available with continuously variable transmission (CVT). The DE with CVT is $14,890. The ES with CVT is $16,890. The GTS with CVT features a 6-step Sportronic(R) mode using segment-first magnesium-alloy steering wheel paddle shifters and is priced at $18,490. Destination and handling charges for the 2008 Lancer are $625.

I think Mitsubishi has a winner with this one. The price is right, the performance seems ok and the styling is awesome. Something aggressive and stylish in a market dominated by sleeping pills.

They're probably balancing the engine for emissions and fuel economy. Also, this is still an "economy car". The horsepower output is more than adequate.

The Civic has 130hp and it's still fun, so this is a good deal.

The Ralliart with the milder turbo engine should be the ticket! I had always hoped the EVO X would use the 2.4 World engine turbo charged.

We got the EVO and a pathetic 120 hp OZ Rally Edition. We did get the 162 hp MIVEC Ralliart here though.
