Re: 2008 Lancer Ralliart! Mini Evo!
The Ralliart looks like a promising alternative to an Evo, I'm excited for people to start pickin them up and modding them in comparasin to the Evo X.

09 Lancer Ralliart vs 08 WRX vs 08 MazdaSpeed3 - Edmunds
http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do...ticleId=128908
Good comparison, I think. It shows the shortcomings of all the cars, but also how great the Lancer and MS3 are. Throw some good tires on the Ralliart and it would be a completely different car.

Add it all up and it's obvious why two of our three judging editors chose the Ralliart as their personal pick. It's simply a lot of car for the money.

The 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart, however, puts up a genuine fight with a good overall driving experience and lots of amenities. If it cost $1,000 less and had better tires, the Ralliart would win this contest hands down.

Re: 09 Lancer Ralliart vs 08 WRX vs 08 MazdaSpeed3 - Edmunds
Good artical, they should have brought in the EVO MR and the STI and pitted them against the MS3.
This caught my eye as i was closing the window to the point where i needed to go back into the link.

Okay, let's just compare the Evo MR and STI against the Porsche GT2 RS while we're at it.

Re: 2008 Lancer Ralliart! Mini Evo!
I bet a manual could shave $2k off the price too, would make for a great base model.

Apples to Apples son. There is a huge price and marketing difference between those three cars.

Re: 2008 Lancer Ralliart! Mini Evo!
Yup, from what it sounds like a manual should be available for the 2nd model year.
