What's this?
 

I've been doing some Whois searches for sites related to the US Evo and I came across this one: WWW.2003LANCERASX.COM

Here is the information that Whois spit out:

Anybody have any ideas? What does that ASX stand for?

First, can I say you're the master snooper :) You find the news of the Evo coming and now you find this future site that Mitsubishi hasn't even created!!! :)

I found this link which has something about the ASX. I didn't read it, but it I think it said something about an SUV or something. I don't think it's related to the Evo. Here's the link:

Yeah I've seen the ASX at an auto show I think. I thought it was supposed to be its own model and not a type of Lancer? There's no way that the ASX I saw at the auto show resembles the normal Lancer in any way. Weird. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

hope it's not true. we get the evo, but it's a suv

Some other sites I found that are registered to Mitsubishi Motor Sales of America:

www.mitsubishiralliart.com
www.mitsubishiralliart.net

These sites were registered on Oct 2, 2001.

I can't wait to purchase some RalliArt parts for my Evo. And of course I'll buy some RalliArt stickers to slap all over my car too. :D

i posted this message on the ASX here: http://www.lancerforums.com/forums/s...2571#post22571

Rax:

If you slap ralliart stickers all over your evo and I see you on the road I will punt you so hard you will think you were in a twin t or launched off an aircraft carrier!:lol:

:p :lol:

Some more!!!
 

Here's a few more I've found. All the domains are registered by Mitsubishi Motor Sales of America (lots of good ones lately :D), except for mitsubishievo.com and mitsubishievovii.com. They're registered by Deutsch Inc, the company that does MMSA's marketing. One of these is bound to have official info sooner or later. We just got to keep on checking. Maybe I'll make this thread a sticky...

I'll update the list if I find anymore. :)

ASX = Outlander
 

Lancer ASX was the working title for the upcoming Outlander
sport utility being introduced later this year. I'm glad they decided
to give it a different name considering we still have to explain the
difference of Monteros and Montero Sports to confused potential
buyers everyday. Imagine the Lancer family including the current
sedan, the Sportback, the Evolution and almost this SUV. Pretty
soon you'll start seeing something about a PSU, which is the code
name for the next SUV Mitsu is going to roll out sometime next year.
