One of the hardest decisions is deciding to buy a WRX STI or a Lancer Evolution. Both of the cars are very similar and are fantastic. The new MR edition (Mitsubishi Racing) has created a more competition for the WRX this year. The MR edition is not as quite as nice as the British version that sports 342 HP and a 60 thousand dollar price tag but it is better than last years Evolution. The new Lancer has 5 more ponies than last years model and has many more features that give the STI a run for its money.
We will start out with the Lancer Evolution MR edition. The lancer starts slightly under $35,000 and has many added benefits from last years Evolution. For starters it has more power because of redesigned airflow to the turbo, something that I believe should have happened a long time ago. Some say the biggest change is the new BBS wheels, the wheel way almost 3 pounds lighter than last years model. Also the true auto enthusiasts will spot the MR edition different with the cool new badging, and around the rear window the impressive “shark teeth” which are vortex generators with the ability to create 35% less lift at 110 mph and helps the wing create more down force by reducing turbulence.
Now for the 2005 Subaru WRX STI, the car just goes to show that Subaru is one tough competitor. When you sit down in the car the first thing you notice is the smaller diameter steering wheel, a smaller wheel creates more of a rally sport feel to the auto. Next is the redesigned helical type front limited slip differential. It does a much better job transferring power to those front wheels for added handling. Next is the braking, the brakes on the WRX have been upgraded via adjustable ABS controller that allows more feedback from the brakes to the driver.
In conclusion both of the cars have almost identical performance numbers with the Mitsubishi coming out slightly I mean slightly ahead. But having only 1000 MR Mitsubishis built will put a dampener on sales. I think this is and will continue to be one of the best rivalries in the import community. So I say let the battle for rally bred street supremacy go, all it will bring is better and better cars by both manufacturers.

Mitsubishi Cars Are Selling Well
Mitsubishi seems to be making good headway in sales with an increase in production of over 12% since this time last year, they are still well behind the likes of Toyota and Ford who dominate the market for vehicle production but with the increase in sales for the North American, Russian, Middle East and African markets the Lancer and Outlander are helping Mitsubishi gain valuable ground on their competitors.
The Mitsubishi Lancer was first built in 1973 and was pretty successful in rallies. The Lancer is now on its eighth generation which started production in 2007 and over six million Lancer have been sold since its first generation launch.
The Mitsubishi Outlander SUV launched in 2001 and is now on its second generation model that started production in 2005.
The roads are starting to see many more Mitsubishi cars than ever before and the Japanese automaker are eager to spread the word. Japanese cars have always been famous for overloading their vehicles with large quantities of gadgets for you to play with including new and innovative technology that takes years to arrive in the western world.
The days in which Mitsubishi needed to cover up defect problems in its vehicles is now long behind them and the quality of their products are really starting to show. Europe has taken a liking to the reliability and affordable pricing of the new vehicles on the market and now with eight major locations around the world they could start to be a force to be recon with.
Keep your eyes open the next car you see might not be a Toyota or Ford for very long.
