With all the hype over the MR, the little brother seems to have been forgotten, but here goes:

LS gets dropped, no love lost there.

New colors:
Igloo white replaces Innsbruck White
Warm Sand replaces Coronado Sand
Graphite Gray replaces Thunder Gray

OZ wheels get new multi spoke design
ES gets cruise, variable wipers and color keyed mirrors as part of convenience pkg.
OZ has same Sun and Sound package as Ralliart

Rally package for OZ includes cargo net, scuff plate and exhaust tip
Sport appearance package for Ralliart gets scuff plate, exhaust tip, mesh grille and sport pedals.

 

any word of a boosted ralliart?

 

negative... if they did what would be the point of the evo....
the part you herd about a boosted ralli art in an earlier post was frankly what i call bull ****...

 

point of tre evo...is still being an evo....kinda like having the WRX and STI...

 

Wish they woulda thought of all that for my conv package. Sometimes I wish I had cruise.

 

so what ur saying is they should copy subaru?

 

Any changes to the exterior?

 

No.

 

think about what you just said....the RA would be better than the evo?...get real...

 

No.

 

GPT, we missed ya, man! I haven't seen you post here in a bit. Maybe it's just me though.

Thanks for the update. Sounds like things are going pretty well for the Lancer if so few changes are being made. I sure hope so. The threat of the Neon/Lancer multi-car still scares the crap out of me.

 

Thanks. Other then a couple of MR threads lately, I hadn't been posting much.

Don't know the fate of the Sportback yet, and sharing with the Neon bothers me too. Tthey are saying when the car gets redesigned in 2007 as a '08 model it will have the new joint venture (DCX, Hyundai, Mitsu) 2.4L standard.
