It cost me extra RM1,500 only. So anybody spot lancer GT with standard18"alloy rim in gunmetal colour in JB, its mine!

Only the front bumper looks like sportback. Its still a sedan. I got a reply fm mitsubishi motors that the car will be officially available in dealer showroom on 31/7/09. 2 more days to go!!! Look no.1 is Mazda3? How many of you like the wide grin bumper of it (though the rear design is superb)? Altis for comfort? I am 1.83m and for me Altis is really small (my Wira is more spacious leh). guys, this is not sportback edition! Only the front bumper looks like sportback. Its still a sedan.

But I can't help to feel this car is inferior with the launch of the recent Mazda3... M3 rocks! Checked the reviews made on this car on other sites, they're not as impressive as the big brother Evo especially on performance side. I mean why the disparity? shouldn' t it share some of the Evo's performance ability since they came from the same genes. It does look better with the cleaner look.

Come on Mitsu. You can do a better job. Looks like skirtings and spoilers being outsourced to a cottage industry. Wonder of the material itself. Are they add ons or factory fitted. Most bodykits offered by dealers in Malaysia are outsourced, color will be different from the body and will start to fade away/peeling off after a year. Better buy a standard body and save money.

Thanks Paul for showing the full image. Definitely this car has killer look. Can anybody provide specification on this car? For extra 1K i guess it may not be face lift only. I heard that Waja going to launch Lancer lookalike. Remember our Wira (also a Lancer lookalike)? U can bet yr last dollar that the feeling and driving a Proton will not be the same as Mitsubishi, no matter what upgrade you've done.
