By the look of the pic that AUSTENM posted (March 2, '08 page 47) of the baseball card they were handing out in the Edmonton show, the Canadian RA is getting the longer 10/5/5 year warranty, and not the shorter Evo one
They had the cards at the Toronto show but I wasn't paying any attention to it.

Hopefully its not a typo error also.

Was ooogling at the GSR at the dealer last week, and beside it was the regular Lancer...too bad but I wish the '09 RA's had the widened body that the Evo has...that body is a beaut.

 

Hope this is correct.

 

^didnt see that WW pic, and omg it looks awesome, but im still torn bw this and a few other cars, and also im poor which doesnt help ...

 

Thanks for posting the photo -- that would be incredible news if they're offering the standard warranty!

 

lol, i missed it too..dammit, when the threads merged i didnt back track

 

Does anyone know the weight difference b/w the X and the RA. Granted, the RA has a smaller turbo but all else being the same, it would seem the RA may be the sleeper in the mix and have a better AutoX or TT theme to it. Once a larger turbo and other goodies are added.

Weight is a killer..

 

the RA is 3462 lbs

Killed off that idea..

 

Amen to that.

 

warranty info is 3yr 36,000 bumper to bumper , and the powertrian is 5yrs 60,000
the dealer that was at the ny auto show told me that the 09 ra will be in the dealerships by mid april 08

 

They seem to be saying different things in Canada and the US -- my guess is the US version will win, but here's hoping they'll give us the longer warranty, here in Canada at least.

As for Ralliarts in mid-April, it's good to dream, but as a general rule: don't trust dealers at trade shows. Watch for Mitsubishi to announce prices on the Ralliart -- at that point you can be fairly certain they're not more than two or three months off.

 

That looks to be what the standard is becoming for warranties. It must hurt on the inside somewhere to be constantly spitting out BS. April! That's a good one.

 

I've visited a few Mitsu dealers here in VA and they haven't even heard of the 09 Lancer. One sales manager even started arguing with me saying that I must be thinking of the WRX (I mentioned it had a turbo). I'm considering next time I go I should bring a blue berry, or black berry, or burgandy berry, whatever those things are called that let you look at stuff on the internet, so after I pull up all the info and show it to them, I can beat them on the face with it.

Point being, I don't think there is any way it would be released in April. Time frame just isn't adding up. Not to say that I would not be thrilled to be wrong.

 

i know that the dealer was trying to get into the door in mid april to find no ra ,i just would like to know if mitsu put the block on the nav system , on my friends gts lancer with the nav he's able to watch dvd while the car is driving , well not him but the person net to him can

 

This sheds a little light on the modability of the Evo X MR with its SST:

Looks like Ralliart UK is not doing power mods to the SST-equipped cars. Apparently, the SST is not a roadblock in and of itself. It's just a question of how much Mitsu is willing to do without long-term durability testing.
