erm, i don't think they have a mivec in the cedia. also, if mitsubishi is taking the market seriously, then they SHOULD launch the evo. the eclipse is fine, but the evo can do wonders to the mitsubishi's indian image. plus, if they import it as a ckd, the costs wouldn't be that prohibitve- in fact, it could come well under the 25 lac bracket. at that price, it would REALLY be a steal...let's just hope that one of those six models is the evo.
but then, how did you come to the "6" figure...? apart from the montero, cedia and the outlander or endeavour, what other models are you expecting...?

if not in numbers, the mivec will definitely help in the performance stakes (which was what i meant) ; and the reason for the 1.5 outselling the vtec was due to the unjustified premium over the "vtec" badge; but that shouldn't be a problem for the cedia- people might actually jump at the mivecs....
