sharp! would take it over a civic, and definatly a corolla anyday, the sentra is its best competition in my book

is this an EVO, or a base-model lancer?

That looks good? LMFAO Its a cavalier!!!!

There is a day picture of a base Lancer at
http://blogs.edmunds.com/Straightline/Category/cat.SpyPhotos
It looks quite similar to this picture.
If this is the real thing, Mitsu might have a life after all.

Reserve judgment for photos? I’ll wait until I see one in person

Looks like an Alfa Romeo 159

can’t tuch the civic

^we’ll see

the pictured car is reminiscent of a lexus is300, at least from the exterior.

*back exterior

Jimbo, you mean the 2nd gen IS?

*IF* this is the new Lancer, Mitsubishi is definitely in the right direction and many steps ahead of Lexsucks.

Cant touch the the Civic? Hell, the current civic looks about as agressive and fresh crap on qualudes. A freakin old Toyota Starlet looks better than the current civic. Hell, and old Chevy Citation looks better. The Civic is optically no standard.

I actually think the new Civic looks tight. Overall it doesn’t really do it for me, but I like the way it looks. Actually, I’d consider myself to be a fan of Honda’s current design language in general… but I digress.

I’d almost be willing to bet some guys in the marketing department at Mitsubishi got in this car, drove it around the office at night and had someone else following them to snap a couple pictures of the car so they could “leak” this photo. I mean really, if it had been me beside that car I would’ve tried to A) take a better picture, or B) if limited by my crappy cellphone camera, I would have at least taken a bunch of them.

haha 1c3d0g as much as lexus blows i dont think this is in the same group. if anything its ready to pounce on the STi and the civic

its going to be good competition to the civic and the corolla, the new sentra isnt even close to any of these 3 cars, you can compare it to the hyundai accent, but none of these

“VDuv”, the Sentra is in the same class as the Civic, Focus, Corolla, Elantra, Mazda3.

Granted, the Sentra isn’t a head turner but it only loses to the Mazda3 in horsepower and beats everyone in torque.

Anyway, this Lancer SEEMS to have left the 90’s design theme behind. We’ll see for sure when it’s out.

definetely the new Lancer (not EVO).

Now, if they make a hybrid………

Please! Who is interested in a Mitsubishi?? Do americans really like this ricer?

Mitsubishi is putting up a good fight to stay alive. The styling itself is like no other which is admirable. And the performance should be outrageous.

This one looks like a winner.

the edmunds pics are photoshoped the front head lights are the same as the galant 2002, if only mitsu could make a good looking galant again

uhh… it kinda seems like a lot of people are interested in this “ricer.” it might also interest you to know, cww, that the internet extends beyond america. it’s a series of tubes, you know.

/no

The civic looks tight? Maybe next to an old porn star …

The Civic looks good. It has a style all its own as does the new the Lancer. Not everything needs to be so bland like the Saturn Ion or a Cobalt.

i wouldnt call a saturn ion bland… just uhhhh ugly

OH MY GOD ANOTHER PIECE OF **** CAR!!!
