“We drew upon Lancer’s rich, rally-inspired heritage, leveraging the best of the car that helped Mitsubishi become famous. Today’s new Lancer shows off fresh sport styling and a list of standard performance and safety features. The result is a road-ready 2017 Lancer that’s sure to exhilarate everyone who knows how special a Lancer can be.”

Nothing about this is special. Or rally-inspired. Or fresh. Or performance. You killed the Evo. It’s gone and so is all of your credibility.

TBH if they copy/pasted some of their CARS from the ‘90s with some updates that would be awesome!

Ad copy, not so much.

Yes if Mitsubishi sold a new 2g. With a modern engine, AWD, and an aux jack. I’d be all over it

That, the 3000GT, the original EVO, Galant VR4, yeah, there was a time when there were a bunch of Mitsus you’d want.

Don’t forget the FTO or the Pajero Evolution...even if we didn’t get them on US soil when new.

Why is that so hard? They used to know what to do, just do more of that again!!

Just keep making the Evo 9 until ICE engines are banned. That would be enough. And then make an EV version

OK, I had to google both of those things, but now that I have, gib those too!

Thankfully I’m lucky enough to have one! And it’s not a total basket case! ...any more

Yeah, that’s a neat little sleeper right there- - am guessing 99% of people think it’s just an old Galant?

Nice car—

Wait, they still make that?! I thought it died! Or was that just the Evo?

99% of people have no idea what it is. I even got pulled over once because a cop was looking for a kid in a black 93 Accord. I’ve also had a few mistake it for a Sentra. I even made a meme about it.

Just the Evo. For some reason it was too work to live but also too much work to die.

Actually, 2017 was the last model year for the Lancer in North America and most other markets outside China, where it has recently undergone a heavy facelift.

Idk, yea they killed the Evo but that isn’t a bad looking car by any means...

The latest generation (08+) Lancer has always been a decent looking car. It has aged surprisingly well.
