It is a worldwide over-demand of Lancer. Just like what amsouth said. Personally I booked a GT back in October and got to know the GLS thingy that MMM is offering. At first, I was kinda pissed. But after much thinking, what the heck man! I will rather take GLS than nothing. Anyway, I am planning to do some cosmetic work on the car. I don’t think it is about the AP issue.

Last decades the same class rodes mostly on 14 inch, and some even 13 inch (sentra B13 pre-FL)! But that's not a big problem. Even if i buy the GT version, I'll change the wheels & remove the rear spoiler anyway. Might as well get the GLS version, and put that extra rm7k elsewhere - add as downpayment for less monthly installment, or get 17 inch wheels with good michelins..etc. For me, GLS is the correct spec lancer for direct comparison with Civic 2.0, not the GT, except - may be - in term of price.

Not in the showroom but they parked it outside the building. I'm not sure if the car is still there or not. From what I can see, the car looks nice and sweet. The paddle shifter is there. 16" rims with yokohama tyres. I'm not sure abt the price but if it is true RM114k for GLS and RM121k for GT I think a lot of the waiting customers will be pissed off. MMM should honour the original price when customers booked their car. Perhaps they become greedy after the huge response from customers. However, RM121k for GT not that bad especially if this price was implemented since day 1. You also can view the car at EON Glenmarie. Not in the showroom but they parked it outside the building.

Mitsu running a bait and switch? Get orders fro a GT then tell bookers to expect an extended delay when push the price up for the GS to make a quick buck? Only in Malaysia....

It is really a fantastic sports machine. The long queue and bargain price tells it all. Suddenly they came out with GLS and offer it to those who waiting for their GT just RM1.5k less? Nonsense. If we browse Singapore's Lancer brochure it come in 5 variants including a 1.5l Mivec engine use in the Colt. Please bring this variant also. Direct competition with Vios right.
