MITSU CARS AS A WHOLE HAVE LOW RESALE VALUE, IF THEY FLOOD THE MARKET WITH THE X AND NOBODY BUYS THEM EQUALS HUGE DISCOUNTS OVERSTOCKED LOTS (LOW RESALE VALUE), LETS HOPE MITSU KNOW's WHAT THERE DOING. I DON"T WANNA BUY A CAR FOR 35 GRAND AND NEXT YEAR ITS WORTH 12 GRAND!

People like you make me want to get a higher end car that the fast food go fast kids cant get.

Yes you are right, as a whole they do. The EVO doesnt though, and I highly doubt the X will either, even if it is as lame as it seems to be right now. I understand you dont want to buy a car with a low resale though, no one does.

Mitsu admits privately that its power and acceleration figures for the new car are a little conservative.
But the article says it has 280 bhp. According to AutoWeek, The U.S. model has 295 bhp. So maybe they are only undererporting hp in Britain and Japan?

I don't think you have to worry about them selling poorly as the caqn barely keep the new lancer in stock.

i'm starting to see the regular lancer pretty often. It does well in crash testing, gas mileage and most important (to regular consumers) features. It is a worthy competitor to the corolla (extremly slow and boring) as well as the civic and other similar models. GO
