Re: 2008 Lancer Ralliart! Mini Evo!

It's official! It is at the Detroit auto show!

http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2008/01...hi-lancer.html

240hp, SST, AWD, etc, just like we've been anticipating. No word on price yet, but I'd bet a fully-loaded one will go for ~$30k.

Sweet, I hope those are all just options in the end though. Some of us really don't care about Sat Nav and Recaros.

Re: 2008 Lancer Ralliart! Mini Evo!

So it looks like there will be a sedan and a sportback to compete with the wrx hatch's. It features the new Evo motor but with toned down cams and a single scroll turbo(power down to 237hp/253tq), but most Evo X mods will swap right in. The four wheel drive comes from the last gen Evo, but the tranny options or unknown yet. Prices in the mid 20k range.. Should be a great tuner car.

Re: 2008 Lancer Ralliart! Mini Evo!

Talk has begun how this car is going to fare in autocross. It will be interesting to see what classes it lands in.

Re: 2008 Lancer Ralliart! Mini Evo!

Hope it comes out with a 5-spd option eventually. I am not a fan of the auto's.

Re: 2008 Lancer Ralliart! Mini Evo!

Hmm, mid 20's. That's more like it, although I'd need the NAV, HID's, heated seats, espresso machine.

Re: 2008 Lancer Ralliart! Mini Evo!

not a bad idea for mitsu, to get all the customers that don't want to spend 35k on the new evo.

Re: 2008 Lancer Ralliart! Mini Evo!

So it's like a V6 Mustang, the looks and options, minus some power. But better in a way cause it's still the same engine. I wonder if they put a smaller turbo on it?

Re: 2008 Lancer Ralliart! Mini Evo!

Finally a brand is smart enough to get into the market that Subaru is dominating with the WRX right now (and has been since 2002).

Re: 2008 Lancer Ralliart! Mini Evo!

That price will complete well with the WRX Limited, but they still need a base one available too!

Hmmm. Around $25,000 would have been nice.

I'm sure you will be able to get them for 25, $27k is just the MSRP.

Doooooo it!

I'm guessing all of the evo stuff will bolt right up, FP is making everything from 20g to 65lb turbos that bolt right up since it's got a standard rotation turbo setup, etc. Or leave it mostly stock and actually roll in a fun DD for a while!

Edmunds insideline compares the MS3, and the WRX to the Ralliart
