2008 Mitsubishi Lancer

The 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer is available in DE, ES and the sport-tuned GTS. The Lancer ES is equipped with 5-spoke 16-inch alloy wheels, color-keyed door handles and mirrors and a chrome grille surround. The more aggressive GTS has 10-spoke 18-inch alloy wheels, front and side air dams, standard fog lights, a rear spoiler and a chrome tailpipe tip. Under the hood is a new 152-horsepower 2.0-liter DOHC MIVEC 4-cylinder engine delivering 146 lb-ft of torque. The standard transmission is a 5-speed manual but optional for the first time is a continuously variable transmission (CVT) in place of an automatic. The interior is more spacious and gives a high-tech feel with piano black audio switches, metallic-like trim on the shifter bezel and steering-wheel-mounted audio and cruise controls in the ES and GTS. A Sun and Sound Package featuring a power glass sunroof, SIRIUS Satellite Radio and a 650-watt Rockford-Fosgate Premium Audio system is available on the ES and GTS.
