I kinda like it too... It's got a pretty good looking profile (except I don't like the rear)

...and I'll probably never own a Mitsu

I like their appearance as well but, I still think the Mazda3 4dr is the best looking car in this class.

Nice looking car, but as previous posters said, I wouldn't want to own a Mitsu.

I agree... though I'd go with the Civic for reliability...

The new Lancer looks kind of like the Vovlo S40. I think its just a half-assed copycat.

I agree. It isn't perfect but the two I've seen are a lot more attractive than the last generation.

I seen one today on the road, still had the dealer plates on it. Was very strange cause right behind it was a previous gen. evo. I like the older model better myself

i think they look good. i'd get one over a civic sedan because the civic sedan is ugly and the mitsu has 3x the warranty

warr is a sales pitch. mitsu is way behind honda and toyota when it comes to reliability. I have a 07 tl-s for dd and an evo for the weekend. I already have to bring the evo into the dealer on warr and only have 5000 mile's. Still love the evo for what it is But that is the only car I would buy from mitsu period. They have a plastic value cover for the regular lancers that is the start of the problems down the road

I saw one last nite too, parked outside a club. Kinda freaked me out, I had no idea they were out already. I kinda liked it, but I think it should be a different, separate car, not a Lancer. The Lancer has a classic look that it has maintained for a long time - that look is gone. I guess everyone's doing it, it feels like what happened with the Skyline and Impreza as well, to name just two others. Rear end is too big a IS350 ripoff, I wonder which came around first, design-wise..
