Here are some more information for Mitsubishi Lancer Evo:

Samurai or sledgehammer? this is the question when in comes to choosing to hurt someone. It is but a metaphor when it comes to choosing a car. Cars such as the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo and the Subaru Wrx Sti.

Lets start off with the Evo, this car is such a sensational experience to drive. It handles like a real sports car despite being a family sedan. Dont for one second think that this is an ordinary sedan (coupe) because underneath that docile look hides a ferocious monster. Under the bonnet, it has a 2.0 liter turbocharged engine coupled that with a AWD drivetrain. Not just any all wheel drive system, this has a AYC which stands for active yaw control. Its job is to move the power from side to side; therefore, when cornering from tight corners the power in sent from right wheel or left wheel. This car is astonishing, mind you that this car is an all rounder. The Evo is fast in the corners and straight line speed. Take a look at the specs:

Price: $25,000 - $34,000

Engine: 2.0 turbocharged inline

BHP: 289

Curb weight: approximately 3,217 pounds

0-60: 4.9 seconds

1/4: 13.5 seconds

The specs are merely part of the equation, because when you drive this car. It just redefines what a car should be. The handling can make a hamfisted person thinks he is Juan Manuel Fangio or Ayrton Senna. Braking, steering, acceleration is just stupendous... This car is a canyon carver, an F 16, and also your family car all in one package.

If the Evo is a samurai, light and agile. Then the Subaru Impreza WRX STI is the sledghammer. Subaru has always been the nemesis of Mitsubishi in rallying. The Sti has a bit more power than the Evo because of it's engine. The Sti sports a robust 2.5 liter boxer turbocharge engine. When it comes to performance, this car can almost match the Evo in almost every performance category. Straight line can be the Sti one dominant portion, but cornering is quite less than the Evo. The Sti specs can may be clear some difference between the two rivals.

Price: $26,000 - $ 33,000

Engine: 2.5 flat 4 turbocharged

BHP: 300

0 - 60: 5.0 seconds

Curb weight: 3,350

1/4: 13.8 seconds

This car is your ticket to rallying only your driving in a tarmac. With the tuner world exploding unto the scene. You can make this car fly, or make it corner faster. You'll probably spend on the dampers and suspension to keep up in the corners against the Evo, which is a good to invest it on.

Choosing between this two cars has never been easy. With cars that closely match each other in performance. Only you can consider which one is best suited for you, whether you want to use it as a commute car or a auto crossing car. Just Know that you cant go wrong with either of those two.

Mitsubishi Reports Profit for 2006

With the 2006 fiscal year over, car companies have started posting their sales output for the past year. Mitsubishi Motors, one of Japan’s car manufacturers, has posted their sales report for 2006 which shows that for the first time in four years, they have turned a good amount of profit.

The said report is indeed a piece of good news for Mitsubishi employees around the world. The Japanese brand reported to have made a profit of $73 million for the past year. That is a considerably a huge improvement over 2005 when the company lost $770 million. Mitsubishi’s long fight to the top after it was shaken by a scandal a few years back will certainly be given a big boost after they have reported a profit for the first time since the year 2002.

Mitsubishi reported that for the past year, they have increased their sales by 4 percent as compared to the previous year. The car company’s sales figure around the world totaled to some $18.5 billion. Of that sale figure, the North American market is the biggest consumer of Mitsubishi vehicles.

This year, Mitsubishi continues its success in the North American auto market when they sold 31,645 vehicles for the first three months of the year. Year to date sales after the first three months of this year is 23.2 percent higher than last year’s first quarter sales.

One of the reasons for the company’s profit pointed out to its cost cutting program that they currently are implementing in the United States. Dan Irvin, speaking for Mitsubishi, has this to say: “We're doing everything we can to control our costs and provide vehicles on a timely basis. We've been working with our suppliers to get value added and value engineering ideas to control costs.” The company has done this by offering a $40 million concession package to members of the United Auto Workers (UAW) in exchange for no involuntary workforce reduction. The union approved the deal and as a result, Mitsubishi has succeeded in cutting down their costs in the United States.

In response to this, Ralph Timan, the President of the United Auto Workers Local 2488 which accepted the deal, has this to say: “I'm encouraged that the corporation made a profit, but I would like to remind everybody that our workers sacrificed and contributed to their ability to make that profit.”

To further increase their profit in the global market, Mitsubishi is on track to provide improved models for the coming years. One example of the much improved vehicle coming from Mitsubishi that consumers should look out for is the Mitsubishi Evo X. The Evo is one Mitsubishi’s more popular models owing to its reputation as being a race worthy sports car. It is actually named the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution and is the company’s rally-inspired all wheel drive car. While Mitsubishi is yet to release specifications for the 2008 Mitsubishi Evo X, it is of course understood by performance enthusiasts that this can be equipped with a Mitsubishi cold air intake system to increase its performance level.
