If it's more or less a de-tuned Evo X whats to stop you from just tuning it back up? Probably have 90% of the Evo for 8-10k less. Seem like the sweet spot to me.<br><br>I see lots of WRX's and not so many STI's.

If the are competing with WRx, it starts at ~25K. How can they have the new AWD and the new tranny, recaros, and it seems like everything else from EVO, even if it is not a widebody. You are talking 15K in savings over Evo MR. Maybe this will start with the 5sp, and have an option of SST?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[MUSASHI66]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2007 4:17PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/19/mitsubishi-releases-official-details-on-lancer-ralliart/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/19/mitsubishi-releases-official-details-on-lancer-ralliart/</guid><description><![CDATA[I predict failure.  The same engine and awd system = too expensive.  They're making an intelligent effort...the old Rallyart's are just regular lancers.<br><br>How about they throw it in a new eclipse instead, and ditch the v6 front wheel drive heresey?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[deadlydave]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2007 3:27PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/19/mitsubishi-releases-official-details-on-lancer-ralliart/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/19/mitsubishi-releases-official-details-on-lancer-ralliart/</guid><description><![CDATA[The Old Railliarts are not just regular lancers.<br><br>They had a 162hp 2.4L MIVEC 4 that was much better than the base lancer of the time.

Subaru hasn't had any real competition as of yet.  <br><br>I'd like to see what else is missing from this car that is standard on the X, but it may prove to be quite the value.<br><br>I don't understand, however, why Mitsu is pushing the SST transmission so hard.  I don't think it will be quite as reliable as the new w5m6a 5 speed manual transmission, nor should it be as cheap.<br><br>I understand an SST box may have a wide market appeal, but why not make the 5 speed manual an option?  Then again, they don't make it an option on the US Spec MR either.
