dodge's dealer upgrades are way more than mazda..its a shame yea scions have so many little things u can add to the car more appearance than performance

I think dictated by the age group purchasing the vehicles.

Excluding the 30~40+ buying the xB for its hauling prowess. *^_^*

That and there just isn't any power to get out of the 1.5L. Trust me I know! Full exhaust, cai, header gave you maybe 10hp.

Unfortunatley I still know..

I bet the xB owners will be happy when the gas prices go up to $4+.

Actually I don't think anyone will be happy, maybe not AS angry! I just traded mine in, don't really miss it.

we would still have cheapest gas worldwide if ours went to 4 dollars

Just to let everyone know, the caliber is built on the same chassis as the new lancer so I think it may handle very well. Even if dodge screws up the suspension, the frame is still very rigid and has potential. It needs to be dropped bad though!

Do you have any actual info or link on this? I find very unlikely that mitsu will share their new WRC chasis with dodge or anyone else.

 

[Rotary_Powered]

they share the same basic platform.

So that's why Iranian's are rioting over their gas going from 11 cents a gallon to 44 cents?? I'd definitely take 4 bucks a gallon over that damned 44 cents! (smash)

Redesigned Lancers start sale next March as early 2008 models. They use the so-called C-platform developed by Mitsubishi and Chrysler Group, making them basically sedan cousins of the Dodge Caliber wagon. The new Lancer is larger than the old one, and spy photos show sleeker styling a la Mitsubishi's midsize Galant. Mainstream models will offer up to three 4-cyl engines--1.8, 2.0 and 2.4 liters. These are also shared with Chrysler as well as Hyundai, which partner with Mitsubishi in the Michigan-based Global Alliance engine facility. Like Caliber, the '08 Lancer will offer a continuously variable automatic transmission, a first for a Mitsubishi. All-wheel drive, however, should be reserved for the Evolution X, the latest in a long line of street-legal Lancer rally-racers. A recent Evo concept is said to be much like the final product, so look for over 300 turbocharged horsepower and a meaner look vs. other Lancers.

So the chassis has good pedigree. Theres hope yet!

 

[SwampAss]

Just because of the Evo? Heh. I could rattle off a whole list of Mitsubishi cars that were le doo doo.

 

[controlo]

hahaha. eagle talon FTW!

Any MS3 owner that disses this things looks is a hypocrite. Both vehicles are ugly IMO. Looks to be a great competitor.

So, why did you buy a ms3 if you think is ugly? I won't buy a car if I thinks it's ugly, no matter how much hp or track performance. (headshake

Totally disagree with that....
