It's a Mitsubishi Lancer Coupe. A cheaper, 2 door Lancer. Nothing compared to a EVO Lancer!

If that car is in the US, it would be a decked out Mirage, but I doubt the pic is from here.

I kind of looks like the new US Lancer with a body kit. I think the Lancer replaces the Mirage of here though.

It's just a cheesy Mirage. I don't even think that they make 2 door Lancers in JP.

Damn I hope they bring the Lancer Evolution VII to the US, that will be one hell of a car! Honda fan though I am, I would sell my civic with no regrets to get an Evolution VII...

Here's some pics:






This is going to be one of the sweetest cars ever to hit the US. I have the entire Specifications PDF file. Click here to open it. (1.65 megs)

i agree with"spyder", my civic would be gone for a evo 7 or a WRX, those are the only non-honda cars i could see myself getting right now

There is one of those lancers outside my work right now, it is the yellow rally one. It looks nothing like that yellow one that is pictured above. Interior/Wheels way diffferent. Looks like it has potential though.

What is outside your work right now is a regular Mitsubishi Lancer. It is a FAR CRY from the Evo VII. The plain Lancer has about as much power as my stock Civic EX. The Evo VII is turbocharged and puts out roughly 276 hp and 282 lb-ft of torque through a fully computer-controlled AWD system. It's all in that PDF file I linked to. If this thing makes it to our shores (and there's a very good chance it will), my civic is history.

The Lancer here in the states suck ***. I watched them test it on Motorweek and it had an 0-60 time of 10 sec and a 1/4 mi of 18.8. Laughable. I think it will be a long time before we get anything close to the EVO

They are predicting it will arrive around 2003 or 2004, but we all know how predictions go.

hey... dont underestimate all mirages! especially the old ones... the little hatches... as well as the dodge colts... those imo are the ULTIMATE sleepers... thay made 500 mirages and 500 colts with 1.6l turbo motors... same as in the 1st gen dsm's except not a 2.0... but the 2.0 drops right in... do that... put on some bolt-ons... basically spend a couple thousand including the price of the car... and ull have an 11-12 sec car... and u would never know! good luck finding one though... they are very rare... i love those damn things... gives u more appreciation to those cars u used to call "junk" back in the day when one of them bone stock looking blows by u

Yes, the plain old Lancer is downright pathetic.

The Evo VII on the other hand.... Stock it will run about a 12.5 or 12.6. And that is with the stock turbo, which is easily upgraded.

Oh, did I talk about the Evo VII's intercooler? In addition to being air-cooled like others, there is a switch inside the car that lets you spray WATER on the intercooler!!! This causes an incredible drop in temperature, thanks to the evaporation. It can be set either to Auto-Spray (it monitors the intake temps and sprays accordingly) or manual spray, where you just hit a button and it sprays the water. Pretty cool huh?

the EVOVII is supposed to be released here but mitsu hasnt offically given a date yet, i heard it could be as early as next model year.
its supposed to retail between 25-35,000$
to compete with the WRX.
