2009 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart

Well there seems to be a lot of great cars that have come out in the last year and still are planned to come out in the next 1 or 2. Here is one of them...a direct competitor to the WRX. Since Mitshubishi never had a direct competitor before.

MSRP around 27k and it gets...

-AWD
-Active center differential
-2.0 MIVEC turboed and intercooled engine good for 235hp and around 253 lb/tq
-Twin clutch SST gearbox

Never thought I'd say this...but I'd rather have a Camaro than a Lancer Ralliart...

Doesn't even come close. It's basically a really detuned Evo. It was developed to fill the gap between the Lancer and the Evo....just like subaru has the impreza, wrx, and STI

Lancer Ralliart = WRX = Mazadaspeed 3 = VW r32

What are you confused about, outside of the obvious misspelling of Mazda?

If you don't think the Mazdaspeed 3 can compete...

Does not do it for me

They look like any of the modern Jap cars like Toyota, Honda, etc without any sort of real character.

Wow, I didn't know it was that close of a comparison. However, it came down to 4/10 of a second, which is not "clearly the winner" as the guy said...that comes down to driver error, etc. I'd take the R32 over that any day if price wasn't a factor.
