I know i am holding my breath but I am still waiting for Mitsubishi to approve the Taiwan versions for sale in north america to boost sales . I cant figure out why they are being so dumb about this!!! I dont like to be too critical about Mitsu, but I just think their focusing too much on the teen market and ignoring the rest of the demographics

It has nothing to do with marketing anything. Safety and emissions standards are a world apart between North America and Taiwan. Mitsubishi's purse strings are tight enough as it is - they're not going to front the cost of retooling production facilities on a whim that the car might be well received in North America. Maybe down the line a bit - but certainly not now.

that and the lancer is doing particularly good here in the usa at least i think it is when i see them all over the place being driven by the young and old.


i like the rear bumper of the Taiwan version but thats about it. the look of the lancer is nice, some of us might just be tired of it, i know ive had this model lancer since april 2007 and its kinda getting boring but i like new things every 3 months ( i get a new cell phone about every 4-6 months) but since upgrading from an 08 es to an 09gts i have been revived and love the lancer again. {thumbup}

thats weird now all lancers are coming with RA tails...i think the red ones look better on some colors vs another.

as for the other version lancer i dont like it at all..i think its ugly and wouldnt sell here

I agree. the front of the tai lancer looks like older US lancers...which are sorta not cool..as in ugly.

i like the rear of the tiawan version, front is a little blah except for the projectors. The whole thing is kinda a mix of the galant and the lancer..

anyways i wish mitsu would finally put out a press release with official specs and pricing of the 2010 lancer
