I like the sport package car.
thank you for posting a front end pic I can see
the basic design to me is plain with hints of sportiness to it.... I can however say that as long as mitsu doesnt f*** up, it will look AMAZING as an evo.... I can almost picture it now...
Why are ya'll complaining about a 152 hp 2.0l naturally aspirated engine? This is the BASE MODEL LANCER! NOT THE EVO!... It's a rise from last year...
Oh, and since it'll share the platform with the dodge caliber... I wonder how long it'll take after the Evo is released for the new SRT-4 folks to think they have a dodge Evolution...
and I agree about the 'six speed CVT with paddle shifters.' I'd LOVE to see the explaination for that...
I also hear the EVO is supposed to come with a paddle shifted sequential six-speed... I wonder if it'll use the same AWD CVT that's in the current Caliber R/T

Dude it is still weak for a 2.0L engine. All we are saying is it should be beefed up a tad bit.
Please let go of the caps lock. Nothing more annoying....

this is the basic Lancer. EVO X should look alot better
sorry if CAPS LOCK offends someone... what would you prefer, bold? It's my way of accenting words, deal with it.
The base model is supposed to be equipped with an all around decent power and excellent fuel economy engine. 152 hp 2.0 does well with that, considering my car has 160 out of the same displacement and get's 25+ MPG when I keep my food off the gas.

I think we all know that this is not an Evo just by reading the damn thread title. We don't think we need to see it in all caps.

this new lancer remember me an old galant front... but still a 2.0l engine it's a decent powertrain for a base lancer...
Sorry, I didn't mean to start a fight, but by reading it it seem people were seeing the base lancer as a sports car. It's a family sedan first, the Evo is the sports car.
From my understanding it seems this concept wasn't grasped, so I felt the need to input.
on a side note.. if the occasional caps lock hurts you, you need to grow up.

I actually like the styling but the power sucks. It really doesn't look that bad.

Similar. 148/160 I think. I still think the 3 is underpowered as well man.
