Besides, if you wanna compare performance/looks , compare a stock 02-03 OZ vs stock 2008 GTS. The original post compares a tricked out OZ vs a basic DE (not even ES). And to clarify it all, which one looks better, I say 2008 DE hands down, which one performs better, I would say the OZ as it's heavily modified.

Yes i think the 02-03's look much more rugged. Put it this way, which looks more likely to survive an off road rally???
In my opinion the 03's look like they can take more of a beating, and have a greater rally style. The 08's pretty much look like a lexus, something that could maybe be street raced

And if you would actually read any of my replies you would notice that I am comparing only the looks, I am not mentioning performance because I don't think it's fair as the new Lancers have been out how long, 7-10 days? I am a patient man, I am more than sure that when all said and done a 2008 Lancer will not only look better but it will offer better performance.
i'm talking looks also. i think the 08 will probably look *****in with a full on bodykit, or even just a different front bumper. i personally would take a stock 02-03 over a stock 08 LOOKS wise because i hate the lines of the 08 and think the 02-03 is cleaner. but i'm sure you'll tell me i'm blind for thinking that.

My sister has a 2003 OZ and I test drove the 2008 ES and to me ES has a better acceleration than the OZ. Besides, Evolutionm.net did test the new Lancer ES and it had a 0-60 time of around 7.65 seconds (this is more like the last generation Ralliart territory), I don't think a stock 2002-2006 OZ can reach those numbers. Then again 0-60 time is not the only thing that measures performance, handling-wise the new ES also sticks better to the road than the OZ. But basically I am comparing two stock models.

ick. Some people like me actually like how cars used to be more boxy. Thats one thing I love about my 03. Cars are going all aerodynamic with crazy lines. looks like garbage. performance of cars are getting better.. technology is getting better but the designers need to be shot in the throat.
The new lancer.. is... gross. and someone made a good point. both cars are lowered.. look at ther height difference in the trunk and rear bumper.. new lancer is a dam suv.

I also dont see the lancer as a perfoemance sedan.... Its still a lancer.. just technology is getting better so cars will gain a tad more power and better handling over time....

There is no way u can even compare the o2 to the 08 in performance or style u take those two cars and put the same amount of money into the motor and body kits and I would bet my last dollar on the 08 would kill that car. I have owned an 02 O.Z. a 04 Ralliart and im in the works on my GTS this week U can see the stock upgrades become bigger and better each time a new lancer is produced, the moter(DOHC) the interior(FRICKN SWEET) and the frame on the new car are better then any outdated model.
I still loved every lancer i owned
