The topline GTS gets a six-step Sportronic transaxle that allows for sequential manual operation. With this setup come steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters. Fuel consumption ratings for the Lancer are: five-speed manual City 9.7/7.0L/100 km city/highway; CVT, 9.5/7.0L/100 km city/highway; S-CVT (GTS), 9.6/6.9L/100 km city/highway. The 2008 Lancer will be available in three trim levels starting with the DE, the ES and the GTS with sport tuning. The DE is the entry model and ranges in price from $16,598-$19,498. The Lancer ES model ($19,698-$20,798) will probably be Mitsubishi's volume seller and comes with five-spoke 16-inch alloy wheels, color-keyed door handles and mirrors and a chrome grille surround. The GTS' styling is even more aggressive than on other Lancer models, with 10-spoke 18-inch alloy wheels, front and side air dams, standard fog lights, a rear spoiler and a chrome tailpipe tip. Prices for the GTS range from $21,698$24,798. Sharing the same platform as the Outlander crossover utility vehicle, the new Lancer is slightly shorter overall than the previous model, but has a longer wheelbase and wider track. The platform architecture is 56 per cent stiffer in torsional rigidity. Because the chassis is so much stiffer, a great deal of engineering had to go into the ride characteristics. The front MacPherson struts have stress bars on the shock towers to enhance lateral rigidity for precise steering response. At the rear, Lancer offers a new multi-link independent suspension. Using separate coil springs and shock absorbers at the rear helps maximize trunk room. Lancer DE and ES models feature standard 16-inch wheels (steel on DE, alloy on ES) with 205/60 R16 tires. The GTS' suspension is sport tuned with different stabilizer bars and spring/shock damping rates coupled with 18-inch wheels and 215/45 R18 tires. The GTS' brakes are the same as used on the larger, heavier Outlander SUV, featuring 11.6-in. (294 mm) vented discs in front and 11.9-in. (302 mm) solid discs in rear. Safety starts with Mitsubishi's nextgeneration Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution (RISE) unibody design. The RISE body architecture lets energy loads fan out through the chassis during side and rear crashes, while controlling distortion. In addition to better protecting the passengers, it also helps shield the fuel system during a rear impact. Lancer's safety systems also include an advanced dual front air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) with occupant sensors; standard front seatmounted side-impact air bags and side curtain air bags, plus a driver's knee air bag. The Lancer ES and GTS models include as standard an anti-lock braking system (ABS) with electronic brakeContinued on Page 33
