is their really a big difference besides the fact that one is sedan and the other is a wagon? i like how to Cedia front end looks. but the rear reminds me of a volvo.. and does Cedia just mean Lancer in Japanese? or is it like Lancer OZ, ES, LS, Evo?

 

ive always had the impression the cedia was better than the oz, but im not to sure...

 

yeh i'm thinking that too ... and the fact that its only overseas

 

yea i got d same thing in mind, i think its because they use GDI and CVT. i don't even wuts da difference between da GDI/CVT and our standard engine

 

All I know is Cedia is two words in one. It means Century Diamond for Mitsu. I think the differences are in the drive train and the engine mainly. Although they seem to have a sport model and a luxury model in Japan. The luxury is leather and faux wood trim. The sport has better handling and the bigger engine if I'm not mistaken.

 

the Lancer Cedia in japan is basically a Lancer here, a Lancer Cedia WAGON on the other hand is the Lancer Sportback here.

There are different engines for the Cedia, my uncle in japan actually has one with a GDI (Gasloine Direct Injection) engine in his Lancer Cedia, it gives more power and better gas mileage than our 4g94 i believe. I cant remember what the engine model was for the GDI engine..Im not really sure CVT is but i think it's some valve timing engine..aka MIVEC? i dunno for sure.

 

Isn't CVT - Continiously Variable Transmission ?
