Competitor NorCal
"The world is full of hot-looking, fun-to-drive cars, a fraction of
which are affordable to the average buyer. The new Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart
sedan is one of those rare animals."
- October 2008

"The Ralliart also carves a road pleasantly with well-weighted steering,
stout brakes, and a paddle-shifted transmission with quick, snag-free gear
changes."

"By adding another layer of performance to the Lancer mix, Mitsubishi
will have a car that finally competes head-to-head with the Subaru WRX. Game
on."

mid-size car buyer shopping lists."
- February 25, 2008

"Great price, great standard features and a wealth of choices make the Mitsubishi Galant one of a kind."
Kelley Blue Book's Kbb.com
"If you're looking for a family sedan with a plush interior, a racy exterior and a nice big back seat, the 2009 Mitsubishi Galant should be on your shopping list. The Ralliart trim delivers surprisingly good off-the-line performance and handling capability."

Cars.com (Kicking Tires)
"For the money, the Eclipse is a pretty stylish front-wheel-drive sports
car. Even though the exterior changes are few for 2009, they do make an impact,
which is more than can be said for many mid-cycle product updates."

Popular Mechanics
"The GT will have a much more aggressive look on the outside thanks to a
larger rear spoiler, HID headlamps and Active Stability Control. The Eclipse
Spyder convertible version, meanwhile, will get all the same modifications and
enhancements as the GS."
- March 2008
RoadandTrack.com

feeling young."

composure."

The Nugget (Ontario, Canada)
"There's no question the Lancer Evolution GSR is a blast to drive - and that its cold-weather performance is almost as stellar as its warm-weather fun factor."
Chronicle Herald
"When it comes to traction at the limits, Mitsubishi's Lancer EVO is one
of the best."
Popular Mechanics
"The up-shifts are Ferrari-quick and the downshifts happen precisely
when you need them, every time. On a trip from LA to San Francisco, the MR
provided what no other hot-blooded Evo has before: ride comfort. We averaged 23
mpg too - not bad for a 291 hp rocket."
- November 2008
Automobile Magazine
"The Evo X has a completely revamped interior. The wing-backed Recaro
seats are the only familiar touches; everything else, from the dashboard to the
door panels, has gone decidedly up-market."
- November 2007
Bloomberg.com
"The Evo's purpose has always been about its X-Acto-like ability to
slice up winding mountain roads. The all-wheel-drive system is as keen as they
come, and every system, including the new active yaw control, is dialed for
at-the-edge performance."
- August 2008
Detroit Free Press
"The new Evo looks sophisticated and fast, while playing the role of
the unassuming sedan -- though the curvy spoiler on the back does serve as
reminder to this car's heritage and continues to block half of your vision
through the rearview mirror - an Evo tradition."
- August
2008
Motor Trend
"The Evo has the best version of this kind of transmission to date. The
135i's auto isn't bad. Probably the best currently in a BMW, but the Evo's
TC-SST is just amazing."
- August 2008
Modified Mag
"The Evo X is by far the most capable, forgiving and fun
off-the-showroom-floor you can buy today."
- April 2008
Road & Track
"U.S.-spec models finally get AYC (Active Yaw Control). Previously
reserved for Japan-spec models only, this new technology makes the Evo X one of
the best-handling sports sedans in the world."
