This Mitsubishi EVO is nothing but Lancer 2008 model.
Mitsubishi lancer 2008 / EVO comes with a 2.0 liter engine and moderate quality interiors & No rear a/c!

On any day Mitsubishi's lancer cannot be compared with Toyota Camry / VW Passat/ Honda accord which are 2.4 liter super sedans with array of features like rear a/c , increased interior dimensions thus greater roomy ness.

Here in Kuwait Top end Mitsubishi Lancer is sold for KD 4500 - 5000 (1 KD = 150 =Rs 6.75 -7.5 lakhs range ) with alloy wheels, sun roof etc. Toyota camry Top range is KD 7000 (Rs. 10-11 lakhs) and a Passat is in the range of KD 9000 (13-15 lakhs)

I am only surprised our Birlas's Hindustan motors will bet at risk as they fail clearly to compare their apple to an apple in the competitor league!

I drive a 2007 Mitsubishi Galant which is 2.4 liter 172 HP, 205/70/16" alloy wheels ,1850mm width, 4875mm length yet lacks a rear a/c & sun roof costing about KD 5500 (8.25-9.0 lakhs) and Galant is never considered with Toyota Camry / VW Passat/ Honda accord!

Birlas still are not out of their rajdoot compalascence

I cannot understand the price/tax structure in India. Japanese car is sold in middle east with a sizeable profit by the car manufactuers, and there is 6% import duty for the cars, the local arab distributor makes his decent margin of 10-15% profit and hence they are at the above prices.

In India for the CBU imports 110% duty and other taxes increase prices fine. but why locally built Montero is sold for a whopping 35 lakhs price tag? Typical Marwadi Birla pricing?

Even suzuki Grand vitara's indian price tag is ridiculously high!
Indian Govt & MNC car makers = Tax + decoity profits =drained consumer
