I have only seen Many 03' Lancers, though I see a silver one every 3rd day or so parked a few doors down from my house, then I see mine everyday of course.'


Never seen a RalliArt or any 04 on the street other than the time I test drove one

I haven't seen any '04 lancers yet and I'm only the second person with a RA in my area.

I picked Mitsubishi first because I own a rare 1999 3000GT VR-4 (1 of 16 for the color) and I got big discounts if I bought one with the loyalty program and other rebates. Then I picked Lancer over Eclipse since Eclipses used to have problems and I was a little hesitant about new problems (even though they're said to have been fixed) plus they were a bunch more so I went with the Lancer. Originally I was gonna get an OZ but I didn't even know about the RA until I talked to the dealer since Mitsu really didn't promote it. I picked the RA since it has 4-wheel ABS disc brakes as the main reason. All of the other stuff (larger rotors, stiffer suspension, MIVEC, ground effects and styling) was a good sell. I would have gotten the Evo but it's a little more than I wanted to spend plus there's a chance I might drive the RA in snow (I don't plan on it, it's just the back-up car) so I didn't want to have to put an Evo in that kind of weather.

Thumbs up

I own an 04' ralliart, pearl white ( camoflauge for the snow up here), fully loaded, I see some other people have a similar model.

I haven't seen any other RA's in Chicagoland....but I believe that after the auto show, they'll spread like wildfire.

I picked the Ralliart because just like what a lot of people have been saying on the board, it was the practical alternative to the EVO. An EVO just wouldn't make a good daily driver, nor would I want to put a turbocharged monster car like that thru a daily commute. And the Ralliart has a great package, too. The engine is smooth and powerful, the car handles wonderfully, the sport seats are great, and the sun/sound package kicks ***!!

Plus, it was a great value too for a performance-oriented car. So far, I'm satisfied!

I've seen one Evo on the fwy. I see at least one Lancer almost every day... not the same one always but just one somewhere when I'm out driving.

I also see my daughter's ES every day at home and I see all the ones waiting for new homes on the Mitsu lot next door. I will be seeing all the "homeless" on my lot starting next week when I go to work for a Mitsu store.

I'm waiting until I can see an Evo every day... MY Evo... eventually.

If only I'd been born rich instead of so good looking....

Ooo, I finally saw a 04 Lancer, the base one though. Oh and another, its a start. Hopefully I'll be the first RA in my area when I pick mine up. So far, looks promising since the car has been out since fall and no one has one yet.

Well, I officially start at Champion Mitsubishi today so I'll be seeing them regularly now, as well as all the other cars in the line.

On my drive to work i generally see about 4-5 lancers, maybe 1-2 OZ Rally Lancers and the only RA I have seen is mine. There is a OZ Rally at work, but he won't race me.

It's wierd....I've seen an '04 Ralliart at a Target near my house. However, it has the OZ Rally Racing Emblem and I think it has the OZ Racing rims that come with the '02 - '03 OZ Rally Racing Edition.

Is it just me or is that out of the norm at all?

I will try to get pics next time I see it...
