Do tell, where is that photo taken?

[Parm]

both lancers exist worldwide.

the cedia is called Lancer, and the new lancer is called Lance Ex!

the photo was taken in Dubai.

[mandheers]

though a bit late here; took delivery of a Rally Red on 6th Jan. 1 more Cedia Sports on the Mumbai roads now!

I might be suggesting my friend to go for a Cedia. What discounts and promotions are available as of today?

11.7 on road; Mumbai regn. its a Dec '10 make but regd on 6th Jan '11; got cash discount of 36500 from autodrome + 1 yr extended warranty.
the HM guys are changing the 2011 Cedia Sports, check the attached.
they might be doing away with the momo steering and OZ alloys too; so it's a wait & watch. price will also come down by approx 70k.

just got this news from a friend that a new Cedia has now being launched in the market, it lacks the touch screen audio system, and some other goodies, also those ugly body stickers are gone. this new model is 60k less than the current version

So the goodies are gone - the stickers were anyway optional. IMO the price cut should have been more. And have they done anything about the high prices of the accident parts (not to mention the long wait time for some of the parts)?

Every time ether they content or decontent, or add or subtract variants, jack up or down the prices but still, no sales. Its a 11 year old design that should be replaced ASAP.

Looks like the below fotos are of LHD, watch the wipers directions on the other side. But I also doubt if the India model is in production anywhere else world wide.

If my memory serves me right, the site was construction more than 6 months ago as well when I wanted information on the Cedia.

[devarshi84]

So if the dealer has the old lot, is it possible to stretch discounts to more than 50K?

I dont see any necessary changes apart from the digital instrumentation and touch screen system. :P

I feel that it was the Momo steering wheel, Oz Alloys, black leather seats (with a red stripe, no less), and the stupid Kenwood stereo were what made the Cedia an attractive proposition. I wish they had put-in the digital instrumentation (without the silver dial outlines) too in the 2010 version. I had purchased my Cedia in December 2010. I doubt I'd have gone for the Cedia w/o the above factory installed additions.

In fact, one of my gambits for getting a discount (two months ago) was that the 2011 version will have the price dropped, which would leave me nowhere. I also felt that the Gen X Lancer was due in 2011. Now that the cat is out of the bag, I doubt they would give more discount, as the 2010 version is actually more desirable now. At least I'd like to feel that way.

But all the best to you. Bargain hard! Do your research. Call-in every lie they tell you.

Try this link for the Cedia section of the website: Cedia Sports

...which, incidentally, has not been updated yet.

You hit it on the head DrunkenMonk! The price is already dropped by approx 70k; which as is compensates for the missing leather upholstery + touchscreen double din DVD player + sporty black interior + reverse parking cam. I had booked a Black in december '10; but when i was told about the drops i chose the red as soon it came into the showroom.

The biggest put-off being the fabric beige interior with wooden trims.

The showroom guys are waiting for the first of the lot to arrive to ascertain the fate of MOMO & OZ.

I'd say you got a better deal there; and so did i. lol

One can get digi instrumentation anyday.

Just noticed in this pic that the steering does not look MOMO. The MOMO comes black and the lining does not show stitching as in the pic.
Just an observation.

So true.

When I took the plunge last year, it was a 2 way fight between the Cedia and the Civic. And the features you mention were among the attractions. Although I chose otherwise then, if I were in the market today, the Cedia in this 'new' trim would not have even featured in my shortlist.

I presume they are trying to target the ANHC customer.

Mitsu should stop flogging the dead horse. This car is an antique now. They better replace it with something more modern. As it is, there are hardly any sold these days.
