Built off Mitsubishi's new mid-size global platform, the compact crossover will further support the ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1036536_2010-mitsubishi-lancer-evolution-mr-touring-pricing-announced http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1036536_2010-mitsubishi-lancer-evolution-mr-touring-pricing-announced Tue, 13 Oct 2009 07:15:00 -0400 Mitsubishi has expanded its 2010 Lancer Evolution range with the new MR Touring model, which goes on sale for $40,990 (not including a $720 destination fee). Sitting at the top of the Lancer Evolution range, the new MR Touring doesn't come cheap but its hefty pricetag is justified somewhat when you consider the performance of the ..]]> http://www.thecarconnection.com/fullreview/mitsubishi_eclipse_2010 http://www.thecarconnection.com/fullreview/mitsubishi_eclipse_2010 Mon, 21 Sep 2009 01:46:00 -0400 2010 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE STYLING | [7 out of 10] Road & Track: "flair in a market in which flair sells" Motor Trend: "a backside rounder than the Death Star" Popular Mechanics: "open-top version was engineered to be topless from inception" Either as a coupe or convertible , the 2010 Mitsubishi Eclipse's sleek, aggressive ...

It's an ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1034002_first-drive-2010-mitsubishi-ralliart-sportback http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1034002_first-drive-2010-mitsubishi-ralliart-sportback Fri, 07 Aug 2009 17:23:00 -0400 Ever since we first saw Mitsubishi's Concept Sportback at the Frankfurt motor show back in 2005, we've been hoping--along with countless rally-sport enthusiasts--to see a hatchback version of the compact sport sedan come to the U.S. this time around. Well, it's finally (almost) arrived; though the top-performance Evo won't be offered as a ..]]> http://www.thecarconnection.com/fullreview/mitsubishi_lancer-evolution_2009 http://www.thecarconnection.com/fullreview/mitsubishi_lancer-evolution_2009 Fri, 07 Aug 2009 08:16:00 -0400 2009 MITSUBISHI LANCER RALLIART STYLING | [8 out of 10] ConsumerGuide: "Dressed up with unique, Evo-like front and rear fascias" Jalopnik: "It's parts-bin engineering, but the good kind" Motor Trend: "Face doesn't look quite as mouth-agape-rocket-sled-guy" There was a time when Subaru's WRX line of turbocharged models was the ...]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1022413_nissan-promises-an-improved-cvt http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1022413_nissan-promises-an-improved-cvt Fri, 24 Jul 2009 08:16:00 -0400 If you want to get an automatic transmission--as most car shoppers prefer--on a Nissan, you'll most likely end up with a CVT. That's, to put it as simply as possible, a belt-and-pulley system rather than gears and hydraulics. Nissan has just announced that the CVT it uses across most of its lineup in place of conventional automatic transmissions ..]]> http://www.thecarconnection.com/fullreview/mitsubishi_eclipse_2009 http://www.thecarconnection.com/fullreview/mitsubishi_eclipse_2009 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 23:56:00 -0400 2009 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE STYLING | [7 out of 10] Popular Mechanics: "open-top version was engineered to be topless from inception" Motor Trend: "the roof, dash, and door panels seem shrink-wrapped around you" Road & Track: "flair in a market in which flair sells" Motor Trend: "a backside rounder than the Death Star" The ...

To hype its new Colt (not to be confused with the Dodge Colt, which was, in fact, a worked-over Mitsubishi), Mitsubishi has hidden Colt "parts" on the internet, which fans can then collect, scavenger-hunt style. Weirder still: the "parts" are stashed on BitTorrent ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1020166_16-cars-for-16000---or-less http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1020166_16-cars-for-16000---or-less Wed, 22 Apr 2009 13:00:00 -0400 If you're looking for a new set of wheels despite the recession, you're in for a surprise.
