is there any kind of difference between the canadian and US versions of the lancer? the only reason i ask is because ive heard there will be in the canadian and US Evos. also, are there any pics of what the 2004 lancer will look like? thanks

 

Nope there's no difference between the US and Canadian Lancer. Both are identical. As far as the Canadian and US Evo's, there are no plans to bring the Evolution to Canada, not just yet. The next Evolution series will be built for sole North American use, so that includes US and Canada. There are no Official pics of the 2004 Lancer.

 

yeah rumor has it they are having a hard time translating the manual into french heheh damn frenchies j/k

 

im thinking of buying a 2003 OZ lancer in the next few months, are you guys out there that have one, happy with it? or should i wait for the 2004 model? one more thing, do you know anything about the lancer model thats in between an Evo and reg. lancer thats supposed to be released sometime this year? thanks again

 

Personally I say ES .........$4000 dollars canadian for the oz skirts and different gauges doesn't make sense to me.

 

first off, it has more than just that. body kit, gauges, floormats, interior trim, rear sway bar, 15" alloy wheels...

and i dunno the conversion, but invoice difference (in US$) between ES and OZ is less than $1500. you can probably work better deals than that too.

i believe the rumors for the 2004 lancer will make the OZ edition an actual performance upgrade, with 160hp, etc. may be something to look out for.

 

ive been reading about the 2004 OZ being a performance upgrade as well...so when do the 2004 models come out...fall time?

 

Not to mention how that's going to increase the price too.

 

i heard some one saying that they mitsubishi was hinting about putting a 2.4l engine in the oz so it would compete better with the sentra ser and the mazdaspeed protege

 

Actually the canadian Lancer is different. OZ has a shiftronic trans as an option.

 

but as far as looks and performance, theyre exactly the same right?

 

Yup. Both are identical.

 

I would have liked a sportronic trans.

and wait for the 04 model. I know they had 03's in july of 02 when I bought mine... so mid summer maybe?

 

im pretty new at this stuff...sportronic transmission?
also, is mitsu gonna change how the lancer looks for '04 or is it staying the same?

 

For 2004 Mitsubishi is gonna give the Lancer a facelift.
Sportronic transmission is pretty much an automatic transmission. Just a special name I guess.
