TPMS is a pain for us that change out tires for winter months. it's expensive and it's a pain.

I know its required by law...but we've survived for this long without TPMS before right?

how is tpms a pain? when you get winter tires, you don't need a new set for them... all you will get is a warning on your h.u. displaying an tpms error

Like leather seats option for example...

Refering to 2008, the 2009 Lancer was already for sale in February 2008..., so if it's the same for this coming year, the 2010 will be ready for sale in only 4 months from now.

Leather seat option is already available ... it is part of the S&S if I remember correctly.

Blowouts are caused by retailers selling old tires, not by the lack of TPMS. Besides, what good is TPMS going to do for you if you're running at 34 psi one minute then having your tire torn to shreds the next?

Plus you guys don't get snow. So of course you don't care.

I'm just saying, it's giving people that have to switch out wheels a headache. Sensors cost $60-75 a piece, plus the cost of having them calibrated twice a year. Having the TPMS warning on the dash all day keeps other more important information being withheld.

My opinion, I'd rather not have it. i'm sure others agree. If you think it's great, lucky you because we've got it. I can't do anything other than b!tch about it anyway.

These bulbs cost as much as your cheap HID's and aren't an illegal safety hazard.

2010 Lancers would probably get a new grille or front bumper design. At least that's what Mitsu does every two years for most of their cars.

At the same distance, I produce less glare to oncoming traffic than I get myself from an oncoming BMW X5. Of course, I was miticulous in my headlamp adjustment.
Believe or not. I care neither way.

That's BS! I had the Ultra's before my HID's and if you paid more than $100 for Sylvanias your an idiot, and need to learn to shop around instead of running to PEP boys or Crappy Tire all the time.

I didn't pay more then $100..

Unless you have projectors with your HID's you have nothing to brag about.
