I’m the resident kei car obsessive here at Autoblog. That means I’m the guy who actually thinks, “That is awesome,” when he reads the (Google translated) announcement of yet another Suzuki Wagon R variant. Hell, I did two posts on the one-off Hello Kitty Mitsubishi i. Keis are cool. So, you can imagine how happy […]

Mitsubishi is serious about extending its range of Lancer products to fill every niche between the base ES model and the range-topping Evolution X MR. The introduction of the Lancer Ralliart was one way of plugging the gaping hole between the lesser Lancer and its rally-bred big brother, but still, something was missing: utility. Mitsubishi’s […]

Autobild spilled the beans over the weekend, and today, Mitsubishi lifted the embargo on its Geneva-bound Prototype S, which is basically the forthcoming Lancer Sportback in light concept trim. Beneath the hatchback’s skin lies the powertrain used in in the new US-market Lancer Ralliart — 240 horses, dual-clutch, full-time AWD, and active center differential. It’s […]

German pub Autobild has spilled the beans on the Geneva-bound Mitsubishi Prototype S. The “S” is for Sportback, and this show car forecasts a future production vehicle that will probably carry that moniker. The Sportback is crucial for the European market, where hatches account for the majority of car sales. Up front, you essentially have […]

Mitsubishi just unveiled its freshened-for-2009 Galant sedan at the Chicago Auto Show, and unlike our favorable response to the changes made to its Eclipse sibling, we think Mitsu might need to do a hard refresh on the Galant a couple of more times before it looks as handsome as it could. The new uninterrupted grille […]

While a certain coupe over at Dodge is going to garner the lion’s share of attention in Chicago next week, there are other reveals scheduled. Yesterday brought news that a facelifted Mitsubishi Galant will appear. It’s about as noticeable and inspiring as the pre-facelift Galant, so we’ll forgive if you happen to have missed it. […]

Mitsubishi will officially unveil the freshened-for-2009 Galant sedan at the Chicago Auto Show next week, but we can show you now what changes are in store for the mid-size four-door. The 2009 Mitsubishi Galant is marked by new exterior styling that, while not revolutionary, is just enough of a change to say the look is […]

It’s a rare day when a concept makes us visibly wretch, but Mitsubishi did just that when it ripped the sheets off its Concept-RA. Maybe it was the ill-proportioned front fascia that took all the wrong cues from a Vector, or the generic styling of the rear three-quarter view, but overall, it left us cold, […]

Mitsubishi has made up for the crimes it perpetrated on enthusiasts with the last two generations of the Lancer Ralliart. In atonement for its sins, it’s fitted the new Ralliart with a detuned version of the 4B11T pulled from the Evolution X, producing 235 hp and an unknown amount of torque. Additionally, Mitsubishi has decided […]

Last month we were able to provide some speculative pricing on Mitsubishi’s Lancer Evolution X GSR and MR, but those figures were still unconfirmed. Now it’s official. You can get behind the wheel of the new Evo in GSR trim (meaning, equipped with the five-speed manual) for $32,990.
Start ticking off the option boxes and the […]

As any kid learns on Christmas morning, expectations are a bitch. And once you’ve made the transition to adulthood, things don’t change. It’s widely accepted that most of us who pray at the altar of the car Gods are simply eight-year olds with a bit more expendable income… and for the most part, that’s true. […]

I’ve recently had the misfortune of driving a new base-model Mitsubishi Lancer ES and was disappointed to discover that the materials and fit and finish inside have barely improved over the last generation model. The base Lancer is an inexpensive economy car, however, while the Lancer Evolution is its more mature and expensive big brother. […]

This is not just rumormill, this is rumors of hints and suggestions made by anonymous people. Just last week we wondered whether Mitsubishi’s Concept-RA would lead to a new — and proper — Eclipse. What Car? went further, and although citing nothing more than “insiders,” said that the red zinger “could be a forerunner for […]

The F-16 is inherently unstable and cannot fly without computerized nannies to keep it aloft. As AWD systems in cars get more complex and can do more things more quickly, one wonders if there will come a time when we’ll be absolutely unable to drive without gizmos to make sure rubber stays on road. Torque […]

This partnership is one different, unexpected good. The Mitsubishi already is giving the platform of the Outlander for the PSA, so that it can vender 4007 Peugeot and the Citroen C-Crosser, and in exchange the PSA will supply to 2,2 engines turbodiesel of 154 horses to be placed in the Outlander.
Beyond this engine diesel, goes […]

Not, this notice is not repeated. In the way it last year Mitsubishi UK launched the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX FQ-360, a special model of the Lancer Evo, with nothing less than 366 horses leaving its engine 2,0 turbo. It had those air diffusers in the ceiling, airfoil back giant, parts in carbon fiber and […]
