What is this? Is this what they’re calling a “refresh”?
So, new wheels and a slightly different front bumper...and that’s all it gets for a refresh?
Oh and woo they made more things standard equipment and killed the Ralliart version.
Goddammit Mitsubishi...

How much money do you have in your pocket right now? I have $13.50 and I’ll bet that Mitsubishi has to redesign the Lancer for about as much money right now.

don’t remind me.............this and the FP post about the last Evo have hurt me deeply

Well, look back to the Evo VIII vs the Evo IX.

They just need the Monteros introduced to the US.
And then its sales will be the same.

Do those cars not have any visual differences between them at all?

I wouldn’t even give them an E for effort.

Please don't use double negatives... my brain hurts enough today. And yes, I believe that's correct.

All they've done is make it look worse.

The front bumpers and wheels/ thats about it. From the outside anyway.

Considering you’re getting AWD, a 140 watt stereo, alloys, automatic climate control, decent paint options, soft-touch materials and a 10 year powertrain warranty for under $20k, that’s not bad.

Hey. Tureno. Nice.

And seeing that it’s based on an extremely old design, you’d likely not be needing that warranty often.
Still, it’s like they weren’t even trying. lol

I agree that they didn’t really try with the refresh, but nobody can deny that what I listed is a lot of kit for the money.

True! But I really just think that this is Mitsu’s final attempt to move Lancers before they finally kill it off. They’re moving a good amount of Mirages and Outlander Sports, but nobody seems to care about any other car except the i-MiEV,

Yeah, it was way overdue for a redesign anyway. And this is what they did. Or didn't do. Honestly, I kind of wonder why they even bother with such a minor redesign. It would have been just cheaper to keep the same bumper and not have to retool for the new design.

Without looking at the website, what does Mitsubishi really sell besides the Mirage, Outlander, and i-MiEV?

Electronics and industrial air conditioning.

Here are the last 4 refreshes of the Lancer.

At this point it’s like shuffling chairs on the Titanic.

Even then, nobody cares about the i-MiEV. When a four year old vehicle is retailing for under $8000 (at least in the US), that’s when you know you have a problem.

They have two outlanders, a big one and a little one. They do have the Mirage and i-MiEV, but other than that, they only have the Lancer.

Nothing much nowadays. The site used to feature the dead: Lancer Sportback, Eclipse, and Galant. Sad thing is that they finally sold the last Eclipse and Galant only recently. I’m willing to bet you can still find a new Lancer Sportback on a dealer lot somewhere.
They also have their commercial truck division (which honestly, probably pulls in more money in the USA than their automotive arm).
Other than that, they only have the Outlander, Outlander Sport, Lancer, Mirage, and i-MiEV. And it seems people only care about the Outlander Sport and the Mirage...and the latter being because it’s dirt cheap...

It’s called the “WE’RE SO SORRY BUT WE JUST DONT HAVE ANY MONEY” edition
