CYPRESS, California — The 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart will start at $27,165, including a $675 destination charge, when it arrives in showrooms in September. The turbocharged Lancer Ralliart is the first direct competitor to the 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX, which carries a base price of $24,995, including shipping.
Options on the '09 Lancer Ralliart include a factory-installed $2,750 Recaro sport package, which bundles Recaro front seats, high-intensity-discharge headlights, a 650-watt Rockford Fosgate Punch premium sound system with nine speakers and a 10-inch subwoofer, Sirius Satellite Radio with six months of service and a six-CD/MP3 in-dash head unit. "Rotor Glow" premium paint adds another $150 to the bottom line.
Mitsubishi says the '09 Lancer Ralliart comes with a fully transferable three-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper limited warranty.
The Lancer Ralliart is equipped with a modified version of the Lancer Evolution 4B11 T/C turbocharged/intercooled 2.0-liter DOHC MIVEC engine with a twin cluch-sportronic shift transmission from the Evolution MR model. The Lancer Ralliart engine produces 237 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 253 pound-feet of torque at 3,000 rpm.
What this means to you: Mitsubishi keeps the price of the 2009 Lancer Ralliart somewhat within shouting distance of the current Subaru Impreza WRX. — Anita Lienert, Correspondent
