The current lancer will be pushed to 6.00 with the invecs and the new 1600cc priced at around 8.00. The prices for the current lancer are my guesses based on what I have heard from the company. Quote:

when mitsubishi takes the indian market seriously, honda and toyota might not have much to worry about, but GM and ford will. but until then.....
as for the cedia, there's no doubt that the car WILL sell, but not in the expected volumes (read:corolla category).
so, since HM-mitsubishi cannot rake in volumes, they might as well take a chance and launch the evo as a CKD..... |
I suppose the 1600cc is the same famouse Mivec engine. Mitsubishi is taking the market real seriously. Thats y they have 6models lined up for launch in 2006 Jan-july.
I dont think cedia will sell in corolla numbers but it will ....sell well
about bringing in the EVO I think introducing the eclipse would be a better idea. ITs in the same price range as the civic. Quote:

I expect the battle to be fought between Honda and Toyata.

honda civic won car of the year from "motortrend"
and on the whole the AMericans are about to be crushed(read that as the big three) Quote:

my friend its the same lancer you see in the pictures on the links above barring the front grille treatment. SO if you like the pictures on the two links above you will surely like the India cedia in form too. Quote:

just being a decent performer and having decent fuel efficieny..which i surely believe it would have...is more than enuff to take the fight to the city...
when launched it was selling as well as the city...even though it lost out to it in the power stakes...the new one if more exciting and priced in teh same bracket as the new city....i dont c a reason y it should equal the city or perhaps even outsell it... |
as you said above that OHC 1.5 sold more than the vtec, let me remind you that lancers used to sell more than the OHC 1.5.
proper packaging and marketing will certainly help HM- mitsubishi sell more cars.
