How long has the Lancer been sold in North America? Specifically the U.S.? And what versions were sold for those years? Thanks in advance.

from '02-'03 they sold the ES, LS, and OZ Rally edition (120 hp 2.0L)
in '04 and '05 they added the Evo 8 (280 hp)and Ralliart (160 hp)
in earlier years they sold the mitsubishi mirage, which was just the lancer by another name, but the only engines you could get were an assortment of underpowered 1.5L's and 1.8L's

I believe they started selling the Mirage in the US around '90 or '91, they never offered the Mirage with more than a 115hp 1.8L in the US so it was never much of a performance car.

but they did use it as a wrc rally car i believe, i think that is where the first evolutions came from??? so if you did have a mirage there may have been some performance parts for it, or if you had one now you could probably find performance parts for it.

the rally car was the lancer evo, which used the same body as the USDM Mirage but thats about it.
