^^^ I agree.
Dang, too much hearsay!
Logically, Mitsu will NOT make a turbo RA. It makes no sense of touching the Evo in performance or knocking out the new 4g eclipse GT. Don't people remember, Mitsu is still in dire financial trouble.

Are you saying Mitsu should match a RA TC to the SRT-4?
People have forgotten the lessons of GM in the late 80's to the early 90's of carboncopying/cookie cutting their lineup with other brands . . . instead of getting more market shares, they cannibalized each other in sales.

The Ralliart should definitely stay. I read somewhere that the Ralliart accounts for a good percentage of Lancer sales so Mitsu has no reason to cancel a lucrative model.

^^Mitsu needs more TV commercials pushing the Lancer's. There is only so much word of mouth can do. If you test drive any Lancer they practically sell themselves. I drove The ES, OZ, and the RA. and was equally impressed with each cars ride quality. They used to have lancer commercials like 3 years ago.

It's been rumored a long time that Mitsu would take a neon frame for the next lancer, and naturally the Ralliart would probably share the SRT's engine and drivetrain. It's not so hard to belive really, the new Eclipse is a huge step forward in performance over the previous v6 models, much closer to the Evo in performance, and far sturdier than a homely little Lancer. To spur sales, I can see mitsu offering a turbo RA, not quite Evo fast, but cheaper than an Eclipse.
Of course, all smoke and mirrors at this point...we all just have to sit back and wonder.
