If ever yung 'sportback' yung ilalabas nila dito sa 2007, patok yun. Assuming they don't scrimp on the engine.
di naman niky!Sigh... at least the Sentra got a bigger interior when they "changed" models. But both seem to be the bottom of the barrel in terms of tech nowadays. (Yes, they're nice cars, but not very modern anymore).
i'm surprised people love to bash the current sentra. arguably the engine of the 1.3L (QG13DE) is more sophisticated than that of the mazda3!
compare:
QG13DE 1.3L 95hp with VTC
MZR-Z6 1.6L 105hp with S-VT
arguably, mazda has the LEAST sophisticated variable valve timing technology in the current cars (simple cam-phasing of the intake valves only, by tensioning the timing chain). but i don't see anyone bashing the mazda3. por que maganda lang siya! hahahaha!
AFAIK the qg13de doesn't have VTC...
I think it's the 1.6 that has it
feeling ko pababa ng pababa ang standard ng mitsu.. lana sigurong R&D sila, heheh!
you're right, wala siyang VTC. pero 95hp siya. pretty good for a 1.3L engine.
I just watched CNN business news that Mitsu is considering an offer of one year free gasoline supply for buyers of their car in USA.... hahaha...wla na yatang buyers sa states, parang desperate move naman yan!
marketing strategy lang yung free gas with the rising fuel prices - instead of giving out rebates which is what other brands do. as for the facelift i'm not sure if they will come out with the version showed here - what i do know is that they are thinking of bringing in a sportier model with a 4g63 2.0l DOHC engine developing close to 150 horses.
here's another view of the next mitsu lancer . . . astig ng dating ano? (parang porsche928 side view)

nice but it would probably be toned down on final production. mitsu needs all the aggressive styling it can muster :bwahaha:
naman e!!! pangit na nga yung dati mas lalo pa nilang pinapangit yung lancer!!! :swear:
buti pa yung dati naming 1997 lancer gsr (mirage)!!!
that new concept design which will be what the next generation lancer will be based on(coming out late 2006) received rave reviews during its launch in the frankfurt show. Of course the production model will be toned down but based on the production eclipse and triton models, Mitsu does not veer away from their concept design that much - so let's give them the benefit of the doubt and hope for the best since i think that this is a better desing than the new civic, havent seen new corolla and sentra yet though
