Lancer ralliart. Are they still making a sedan?

[ndubz]

My friend is looking for a ralliart sedan right now. He can't seem to find anything but the sportback, which he hates.

Did Mitsubishi stop making the sedan here or is the 2010 shipment not here yet or what?

Somebody please enlighten me

yes they are still making them, they also added a sportback model.. They have been known to tear up a genesis coupe for less money:)

well if i were to finance a car, i dont mind paying more to get something better since im going to be stuck with it for at least 5 years . IMO

love the Ralli-art! They come with a 35 lbs/min turbo on them stock, which is the same size as the standard STi turbo. tune and bolt ons and it'll be cooking in no time!

lol an extra 9k equates to about $20 extra a month for every $1000 you finance...

so it's about +$180 per month over whatever the ralliart is....lol

obviously that changes with down payments and credit history...but $9k is a big difference.... it's also an insurance price issue between cars...

Yeah the 04-06 RA is nice but the new chassis is stiffer, has Evo 9 awd vs the fwd. 230 hp 2.0 4b11 > 162 hp 2.4 4g69.
The only difference from a '09 to '10 IIRC is more chrome trim, on the doors.

I want a new Sportback RA but refuse to trade my '04. I love having something most people have never seen, 1 of 3000 in the US is awesome. Plus it handles awesome for an open diff fwd.

The new sedans are out there, they are just pushing the SB now. You can find them.

Thanks everyone. My friend bought one yesterday. hes loving it. Keep in mind hes coming off of a base model 97 civic so this thing is a rocket compared to that.
