Winding Road drives the new Lancer:

I’ve just returned from Santa Barbara, where I had the pleasure of driving the 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer in a couple of different trims. Although the Embargo Game prevents me from disclosing driving impressions or releasing images of the actual car at this time, I can report coming away rather impressed.

Mitsubishi’s marketing team let us loose on some genuinely challenging mountain roads (no guard rails, blind corners, periodically wet and packed with fauna), which shows a degree of confidence in the new Lancer that’s been largely absent with their current car.

While I cannot delve into specifics about the models I drove, I can say that the “standard” Lancer comprises three trim levels, none of which is a Ralliart or EVO. Mitsubishi officials are looking to expand the former’s reach, hoping to give the name “Ralliart” an additional degree of cache among enthusiasts. On that order, consistent needling on my behalf led to the conclusion that the Ralliart will be to the EVO what the WRX is to the WRX STi. That means a meaningful bump in horsepower, torque, and overall capabilities, versus its garden-variety Lancer brethren, without encroaching on the EVO’s franchise.

It’s also worth noting that the new model was designed more as a global car than the Lancer currently in showrooms. Increases in width, power, and interior space were all done to make the car more competitive in markets outside of Japan. The fact that the car’s global reveal is set for January’s North American International Auto Show should be instructive as to the brand’s aspirations for the car, as well.

About that—expect to see the three mainline Lancers in Detroit, as well as an EVO concept that’s essentially production-ready. Though it wasn’t entirely clear, we wouldn’t expect to see a Ralliart derivation on display at Cobo Hall.
