If there is no more lancer and this is not some sick April fools joke Subaru has won the rally car wars *sigh*. I hope this is the joke I like the lancer and hear they are great but here are some pros and cons of no more Lancer

PRO

Mirage Ralliart

Lancer prices should go down

Mitsubishi might release a exiting new car

Subaru will get more buyers because no one else makes a rally car

Subaru stock will go up

CONS

Subaru only rally car choice

Mitsubishi should just leave

Mitsubishi stock will go down

We will lose a car near and dear to our hearts

Rally cross will be more boring without 2 Japanese cars duking it out

No more turbo Mivec engines

These are just some things I thought of hopefully this is just a joke.

No, Subaru did not win the rally cars, when is the last time one competed in WRC?

I'm just shocked Mitsubishi is still around, at all. What do they have to sell? A crossover whose name I can't recall, the iMiev(?), and the Mirage...right? They were throwing $1000 on the hood of the Mirage within 1 month of its launch too. I'm pretty sure the Eclipse and Galant are gone, but it's hard to tell because they looked the same for a decade or so.

ya their death has been coming for a while I thought we maybe had 1 year more before the lancer died

I can't even remember them having a competitive product (except the Evo, of course). Maybe the first gen Eclipse? And my family even owned a Mitsubishi Expo! Just strange that they can keep going when a company like Saab is gone, and Suzuki left just as they started offering decent cars.

AS much as I love the Evo, it needed to either die or be repaired. Interior was bad (I'm not a soft plastics guy, its just bad in the Lancer at all trims)

For being Japanese, the reliability of Mitsu is crap. Being on par with Dodge is never a good thing.

I'd say second gen Eclipse and the 3000GT.
