Another great find I really like what they did to the front center fascia of the top picture (Ralliart?) where they used chrome from top to bottom (looks a lot like an Audi but that is not a bad thing IMO), here in US the piece of chrome we get simply looks unfinished IMO, they should have either just black it out (like Lancer DE has) or they should have used chrome on the bottom of the bumper too.

None of the Lancers get chrome around the grill in the US. I don't think they do anywhere. The only chrome I've seen is on the Production Pics of the Evo. I'm sure the Ralliart in the US will have the same chrome grill. You don't design a "World Car" and then redesign it for every market.

What I was referring to was that the US Lancer ES and GTS come with that plastic chrome looking strip on the top front center grille, to me it looks unfinished. Anyway, check out front fascias from few other Lancer markets (I named the files accordingly, there is US lancer GTS, US lancer DE, Japanese Lancer aka Galant Fortis, and European market lancer) and from those four my favorite front has to be the European one.

Ahh, wrong I am. I apologize. I'm also surprised that they made the front of the Euro lancer look so much like the Evo with the matte black center. :P

crazy robot translation of dutch, lol

That also testrijders must stay the night, came our Spotter Rolo good out! On a camp ground in Lido Tue Spina (Italy) these 2 EVO X stood-and parked round, after high temperartuur test, to rest out! When the testrijders what eat went names Rolo of the occasion a number use and made of photographs for Autogespot. com!!



After the Mitsubishi's all single times already on the ring gespot were, was it now thus in Italy where this Jappen with 300 Pk gespot became! The in 2008 expected EVO a large competitor of the Subaru Impreza STI becomes and promises to become a real fun car. Where a time ago the officiëele press-photograph' s have been spent, let the specifications yet on self wait. The rumors go around that this EVOLUTION X (the real name of the Mitsubihi) equipped with a 5 accelerations manual-shift or a 6-accelerations semi-vending machine. One goes there from that 80% by the EVO equipped will become with flippers at the steering wheel between which 3 options see to choose namely; Normal, Sport and Supersport. Supersport especially has been designed for on the circuit, where high turns turn necessary is! The price of the EVOLUTION X becomes geschat on 42,000 Euros without BTW and BPM and state in the beginning of 2008 in the show cream.

what do u mean by less advanced AWC? does it have ACD and AYC? probably not though.... looks more and more like the evo is gonna be worth the extra 10k. depends on if the RA gets the DSG box though.

also that chrome on the RA has GOT to go. it looks too much like an audi and IMO very tacky. if it also has the matte black bumper then it'd look EXACTLY like an audi. wtf?

the euro lancer looks awesome with the matte black bumper and no chrome whatsoever. imo the more the base car looks like the evo the better.

i'm really disappointed to see the chrome "mouth". from the italian spy shots it looks like some audi-mistu bastard child crap. from the american spy shots (no chrome) it definitely looks like a baby evo. but then again you can see the tape over where the chrome mouth would be... why mitsu why??? it's bad enough there's that stupid bit of chrome under the evo's side windows. now this audi-wannabe abomination????

I really like the look of the RalliArt even if the back of the new Lancer is a bit akward. Looks a bit too much like an Alfa from behind.

Oh and for who asked the "D" plate is German.

That's actually really not true at all when it comes to people with aftermarket wheels over there...i've seen them put big stupid chrome wheels on a lot of cars.
