Moppie, we have the Cedia in Australia, it's the new ES LANCER with the 2L engine.

Are you sure its the Cedia? and not simply a restyled Lancer?
The Cedia is a little bit bigger than the Lancer, its not obvious but if you sit them next to each other it becomes very clear.
Or is the ES a sports version? sort of a baby EVO in the same vane as the hotted up Daimante's.

We of course have the Cedia here as the EVO VIII.

Thanks for all the comments, guys. Personally, I think the car is ugly too. I guess this is the approach of Mitsubishi. However, it's not very appealing to the buyers. And yes, America receives crappy, watered down cars that are fit only for 50 year old grannies. Thanks Moppie, for giving me advice on my other thread. Here's a rear view of the VIII for comparison purposes. At a certain distance, I still think they look quite similar.

Nah, the ES is the Cedia, looks just like the EVO7 but much uglier.
Has a short fat nose and the 2l crappy engine making 92KW or something like that. Very ugly.
Do u live in Aus or NZ?

Just look at that 6 above, and compare it to the 8 and future 9. What has Mitsu done? Why do they have to sell the car in USA?! Now the Evo is ruined!

If it weighs less than 2,500 lbs, it's good enough for me. Does it have the 4G63???

[rally_lover]

integra818, it will most likely have the 4g93.

Yeah thats a Cedia alright, looks just like the used imports that are showing up here.
Its interesting that Mitsi in Aus would sell what effectivly are two differnt cars (the Cedia being bigger) badged as the same car.
I wonder why they didnt just go go for a higher spec 4dr Lancer, or prehaps they decieded the Cedia would be a better fit for the "larger" Australian frame



and Im in NZ who ever asked.

Not at all!
The US gets a slightly differnt spec car to the rest of the world, so nothing is lost, but instead the world gains the parts and knowledge from US tuning companies.
It means a wider variety of parts to choose from, and more compition in the market which should drive prices down (the Japanese tuner parts are always over priced) and more gains from the parts.

Man that car sux ass! talk about ugly. what happened to the style of the evo 5 and 6 and the winning engines from ralliart. Mitsubishi eats it hardcore in todays rallies. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE!

[Blitzen]

Raise one - lets make a petition to bring back the 6 styling!
