R&D 3/2007 issue (mitsu related, of course!)
Just wanted to share a few mitsu related points in this issue (mods i apologize if this is a repost!), but for the naysayers of the X and those excited about the upcoming Lancer will be happy!

"There's an effort to make one worldwide specification for the car, which means the US models will be available with the Super All-Wheel Control package, which includes active yaw control, an active center differential and anti-skid control for the first time on an evo." also, seven airbags also come standard...will come w/ 5spd or twin clutch DSG-type gearbox w/ magnesium paddles shifters behind steering wheel...
For the Lancer:
http://www.roadandtrack.com/article....rticle_id=4685
so far nothing but good reviews...has the new 4B11 aluminum block 16-valve 2.0 L inline 4 w/ MIVEC (with room for a turbo in the engine they add)...options are up to par with today's standards - the upper model, GTS includes: bluetooth, navi w/ 7.5" screen with 30G hard drive...the most interesting part was: "Over the next few years look for several Lancer variants, including an all-wheel-drive turbo model (the Ralliart?) that slots in below the almighty Lancer Evolution."
