any spy shots of future ralliart?
we should have a future lancer thread like the evo. :mitsu: :mitsu: :mitsu:
|
I heard the ralliart was done....
|
they will continue the ralliart, form what i heard from a friend at corp. is 07 might be turbo. the 06 has some changes but i have'nt seen them yet. :mitsu: :mitsu: :mitsu: :mitsu:
|
Sounds good, but I think getting it turbo defeats the whole purpose of our car IMO. Well, glad they are still making the ralliart.
|
the japan spec ralliart has a 1.8 direct injection turbo with the same hp and tourqe as the us version, down side it is automatic only. I would rather have a NA 2.4
|
There is no hard information on anything yet. Just a bunch of people talking about stuff they know nothing about (friend of a friend, my dealer said, blah blah etc). When authentic info is released from Mitsu, we can start a thread for it.
|
^^^ I agree.
Dang, too much hearsay! Logically, Mitsu will NOT make a turbo RA. It makes no sense of touching the Evo in performance or knocking out the new 4g eclipse GT. Don't people remember, Mitsu is still in dire financial trouble. |
one word: srt4
and yea, too many threads about nothing lately. all the 'someone guess x!' threads.... if its not adding something, take it to the off-topic section =) |
Are you saying Mitsu should match a RA TC to the SRT-4?
People have forgotten the lessons of GM in the late 80's to the early 90's of carboncopying/cookie cutting their lineup with other brands . . . instead of getting more market shares, they cannibalized each other in sales. |
The Ralliart should definitely stay. I read somewhere that the Ralliart accounts for a good percentage of Lancer sales so Mitsu has no reason to cancel a lucrative model.
|
^^ I think the base model and OZ get alot more sales than the RA. I've never seen another RA around. Plenty of OZ's and ES's though
|
Yeah but they have had 3 more years than the RA. I'm sure more will be popping up.
|
I'll look into this... i am interested now, I wonder what mitsu will do.
|
^^Mitsu needs more TV commercials pushing the Lancer's. There is only so much word of mouth can do. If you test drive any Lancer they practically sell themselves. I drove The ES, OZ, and the RA. and was equally impressed with each cars ride quality. They used to have lancer commercials like 3 years ago.

It's been rumored a long time that Mitsu would take a neon frame for the next lancer, and naturally the Ralliart would probably share the SRT's engine and drivetrain. It's not so hard to belive really, the new Eclipse is a huge step forward in performance over the previous v6 models, much closer to the Evo in performance, and far sturdier than a homely little Lancer. To spur sales, I can see mitsu offering a turbo RA, not quite Evo fast, but cheaper than an Eclipse. Of course, all smoke and mirrors at this point...we all just have to sit back and wonder. |
