Worldscarfans.com reporting that, Mistu has plans to semi-dominate Europe and other regions where hatchbacks are king. In fact the company proposes that 70 percent of all Lancer sold in Europe will be Prototype-S-based 2009 2010 , or rather will be the Lancer Sportback. Will we see “lesser” models too such as the 114kW normally aspirated 2.0-litre for volume purposes? How about that turbo-diesel also? Induced to go forth by the same 2.0-litre turbo of the great Lancer Evo X, Prototype-S is castrated to the tune of 177kW, which is not a bad place at all to be. Consider that Opel Astra OPC and Subaru WRX play around similar power turf. You would think that after all these years manufacturers would learn from the mistakes of others! How could Mitsubishi think that it would be a profitable exercise to build an Impreza look-a-like, then smash the nose in, paint it red and call it a Protoype S. The Evo Lancer is great; this 'thing' is far from being great at all... The rear looks alfaish. Having said that, its a nice car, better than Subaru. Cant believe they picked red....thats what Audi picked for their A4 wagon!! Looks very similar. Dont understand why Mits always copy, cant they come up with original ideas? Eclipse coupe was another classic example of a copy cat .This car is not red coloured, but tonic metallic orange. I think the car looks great! Today everybody copies from eachother, how can somebody make an original when so much designs has been created. Mitsu keep doing the good work.
All of them?? "We, at NihonCar, are huge fans of the Evo 9 and Impreza RA-R, and this is why we have been very disappointed by those two new generations which seem to slip down the hill to feel more and more like a Lexus minus the real interior comfort. If we had to choose, we'd pick the Evo X because the handling and style are better. I could only recommend the fans to stick to their Evo 9 or WRX STi 2006 until Ralliart or Subaru prepares something really worth it (2008 RA-R??). Maybe the major tuners (Mine's, Top Secret, HKS...) will show them the way, but don't get us wrong, those are good family cars offering sweet sensations... just not what we expected really."
