Nice. I’m aiming for new car late this year or early next year… either Evo X or Galant Fortis or something smaller such as Colt Turbo or “i” depending on budget. My current Galant VR4 will be for weekend use only. Once I’ve reached my intended upgrade to 300WHP, it will retire.

I noted that the directional treads tyres are installed differrently on the left and right. The orientation on the left side of the car is the current normal practice for such a tyre tread. I wonder is this a new format for installation of such tyres???

Wow…. I am in love again!…. Really hope MMM will sell this gorgeous car by this year … If yes, say goodbye to Civic….Lancer/Galant (whatever the name is, doesn’t matter) will be my next baby….

Note the ‘aggression’ when the grill is flush with the fender – Audi led the way followed by BMW’s 6 series. I believe, as seen in Paul’s earlier post, this ‘in your face’ aggression will be seen in the new 3 series. The minimalist rear lights are typically ‘Italian’ as opposed to the Germans and Swedes who are maximising theirs.

Ooooh! It’s evil in black! It’s even got a protruding butt! I think renaming the Lancer and calling it a Galant is a lame move by Mitsubishi, since those are cars of different classes to begin with, they should have came up with a new Galant.

I thought the lines represent a PROTON design center WIRA replacement. seen about 2/3 years back.
Delayed or Screwed due to politicians playing “Boleh Sepak” with the PROTON management and organisation line-up.
Correct me.

In US called lancer, in Japan called galant…because of size, but it is not that big compare to civic…

the six speed automated manual gearbox will most likely be engineered with a joint-ventured with magneti marreli.. the current automated manual clutch used by the evo on team mitsubishi is also by magneti marreli…

omg!! the front sucks..

and why is the front longer than the rear? side view is terrible!! long nose with jaw dropping look, short and stunted rear.. wat happened to the sense of style which previous evos possessed?

Great design, finally owning a standard lancer (non-evo) is cool!

I’ve been reading this blog for almost, but there’s still some abbrev. that I don’t know. Pray tell, what does JDM stand for?

avanza,

Mitsubishi did not screwed up, and it is not a new thing for a manufacturer to shuffle model names in their stable. Some previous examples:

1.Nissan – in certain market (especially Japan) they badged their N16 sentra as bluebird; but in Malaysia both are different class of car.
(and in older case, a Sunny 130Y known as nissan Laurel);

2.Honda case, the SO4 civic also marketed as an Integra SJ in Japan/Africa, even though we knew they as a different car here.

Well lancer in Japan are categorize as mid-budget car, their cc are usually from 1.3L-1.8L. If this car is placed at 2.0L i think is under the Accord, Camry, Mazda 6 category.. So i think they have to change the name to suit the Japan automobile rules and regulation. I think it will be good, coz there will be new Lancer to come out for Asian countries. I will love to have this car compare to the new Subaru..

Mitsubishi is really screwed up. Calling the Lancer a Galant. That’s about the lamest thing a car company can do. I thought they are supposed to come up with a new Galant??? Or is it the Lancer!
