I'm sure many of you have seen this already, but it bodes well for the next generation of Evo with a smaller size and thus smaller weight.

Man, can't wait to get a glimpse of it. I need to decide 2013 or 2014 before they run out of 2013 if I dislike how the 14 looks... Or I might end up getting a Hyundai Veloster turbo.

 

Saw someone respond to that article saying that the Lancer will come in calendar year 2014 as a 2015 model. Don't know if there is any truth to that, or just his opinion.

 

I don't know if its a good idea, trunk space is already pathetic..

 

id still like to get a glimpse of it tho

 

or look at the dodge dart srt 4 in 2014 supposed to be awd little over 300hp (rumored) idk

 

i'm holding on to my 9 !!!!

 

Turbo diesel and smaller body are all very intrigueing. The real goal is to design an exterior that will sell and a car that can out perform everone else and market it like the way they did the Sport. If they can expose this new lancer ad wise and make it look good then Mitsu just may have a some hope of staying in the U.S market.

 

turbodiesel powered trims are usually ones that are heaviest in same vehicle range.
But as I already mentioned, upcoming Outlander (MY2013) is 220lbs lighter with 4b12 engine than predecessor (MY2012) with 4b12
Seeing that Lancers and Outlanders are tied by platforms you've got something to hope for. And also to hope that Mitsubishi makes poorman Evo trim with some silly small turbo engine and old AWD system for a bargain price, I see that as US market trouble-buster for Mitsu.

someone's trying hard to get to 50 haha.

 

While new one comes in, one of the old ones got some recognition:

Britain's most reliable vehicle.
Dem unreiliebl mitsubushisus...

 

So its it 2014? 2015? Mitsu desperately needs a new Lancer.

 

From what I understand the new lancer is due in 2014 and the new Evo will follow a year later.

 

I think it is 2014. They already announced that no new EVOs will be brought to the UK, and the regular Lancer is already sold out. I would have to imagine that the US will eventually follow suit.
