09 2.4L Lancer has arrived

took my car to dealership fix something today and saw 09 arrived

168HP, fully loaded GTS has leatherseat

give me back my 16 horsepowerrrrr!!!!
16HP is so much for NA car.... like us 08 owners must spend almost 1000-2000 for that 16HP and torque

The 09 GTS' have been here for weeks. I just got back from my dealership and saw two there. One of them was fully loaded AND had leather seats. Is that from the factory? My feeling its just something the dealer did.

Anyway the sticker price on it was $28,500 CDN.

There was also an octane blue 09 GTS, with no addons. But didnt find a sticker on that. Personally I like the electric blue of the 08's a lot better. Its far more eyecatching and striking, than the dull blue of the 2009's.

I saw them here too. I took my car in to fix the wheel alignment (Which the dealership refused to do) and I saw a bunch of 09 GTS's. 2 were in octane blue and I honestly must say with an unbiased opinion that I like the Electric blue on the 08's better. The 09's look like a blue scion tC, it doesn't stand out as much as the electric blue.

^ Yeah exactly. From a distance it looks really dull and doesnt really catch your eye, only seems to look good close up. And its a pretty common shade of blue too. Whereas the electric blue, will catch your eye from yards away.

^^ Seriously, how could they be on lots but not be able to be sold yet? The soonest I have heard from dealers is that the US 09 wont be at dealerships until June. I want to get an 2009 GTS AS SOON AS THEY COME OUT, so I would love to know an exact date I can get my hands on one.

was at a dealer yesterday lookin at evos and they had a loaded red 09 GTS there that was for sale. they also had an evo that had just a gts spoiler on it and i thought it was weird. i guess you gotta get a package to get the nice evo spoiler which i think is dumb. kinda off topic but i just needed to mention it cause it seemed weird. not to mention the evo body kit option is ugly.

The options are a Sun and Sound Leather Package here in Canada. So its factory. Apparently the 2.0L is still available as a GT trim.
