Default 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Spied ?

On the heels of Mitsubishi's announcement that it would show off the new-generation Lancer at the Detroit show, a couple of shots of what may be that car have hit the Russo-Internet universe. It's either a fake or an early commercial-shot leak. We're tacking slightly toward the first

Thought I was looking at a Galant when I saw the front end there. Still looks pretty neat though.

good looking car.

well...in the sense that it's such a huge improvement from the current design..

but still i think it's a good looking car, much more attractive than the corolla, or the Civic sedan (which i think is totally ugly, with its rear end), or any other car in this segment.

If the car was driving on grass there would be tire marks all over that grass.

Nice pictures, Andrew.
These pictures may be significant for another reason. Remember.....this car will probably be the basic platform for the Lancer Evolution X and the somewhat less-aggressive Lancer Ralliart.

Oooooooooh yes Marshall, they do look like from the same gene pool. I think everyone's gonna be blown away by how aggressive the next Evo looks like.
