2010 Mitsubishi Lancer lineup includes new MR Limited
Quote:
Remember the Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart Sportback we showed you back in October? The one that debuted in Paris? The one that we lusted after for its hatchback practicality and Ralliart brawn? The one that the good folks from Mitsubishi had promised we'd be getting here in the States this summer as an early 2010 model? Well, Mitsubishi has delivered. Sort of. A few Mitsu reps drove down to Irvine from Cypress with a genuine 2010 Ralliart Sportback. And not only that, but they dragged along an Evo GSR and an all-new MR Limited as well.
The Ralliart Sportback drew a lot of attention for its shape, but the Limited was the one that caught our eye. It's a regular old MR with a few differences. In place of the Alcantara bits, Mitsubishi has gone all-cowhide inside. There are also a few additions to the standard options list, including an Evo-first moonroof. Out back, the car has gone undercover by foregoing the large wing that has heretofore characterized the Evo sedans. Sounds like the Evo MR for grownups. Mitsu's reps remained tight-lipped on the details, but pricing is likely to top $40,000 for this model.
40K now... not sure there is a 'grown up' market for this car based on what it is, even the newest one won't appeal much to the middle aged group, and it is difficult to think of an Evo as 'luxury performance' as such. I am also guessing this car will be chastised by the hard core evo fans as a sell out.

WTF? No Ralliart wagons for the US yet? We have 'em up here...

Could care less about the design(though I like the old sedan look better then the X, minus the craptastic spoiler on each) I'm just mad they got rid of the 4G63T. If they took it out of the evo least put it back into the Eclipse(even though its not as good looking as the 1g and 2gs, it puts the 3gs to shame) F the 4B11-Same power plant in the caliber SRT, and The genesis.
NOW, if they put a true standard into that HB ralliart, ill pick one up in a heartbeat. thats my biggest gripe about the ralliart and the MR, auto FTL

If they would make one of those mr body style evos without all the fluff (leather, sunroof, nav, etc.) and a 5 speed for under 30k it would be a pretty desirable car.
If I ever had any evo, the first thing I would do is remove the enormous gaiety that is that wing. I know that was my first SRT mod...
