i think mitsu has announced that this will be the last of the lancer line.
so lancer aficionadoes, this may be your last chance to buy one, new.
altis would-be buyers, you still have some years to buy the current generation.

it would appear the lanceristas really love their cars, and are willing to overlook the "fuel issue"..
and from a visual standpoint, i agree.. lancer looks more macho than many cars out there.

the altis... is a toyota.. and carries with it all the real and perceived advantages therein..
and it would appear that to many car owners, "it's a toyota" is still a strong argument.
buying the bestseller is a pretty strong but lazy argument, though, in my opinion.

i'm just an ordinary motorist, and not really into the nitty-gritty of facts and figures, bells and whistles, toys and borloloys, for and against..

personally, i like the altis more. just sitting in the showroom, i find the ergonomics / creature comforts of the altis, more to my body's liking. perhaps buyers should try 'em both out first..

have fun, buyers.
