I am commissioning in the Army in May and need to have a more utilitarian vehicle that can take me cross-country along with a lot of my personal belongings. I bought this car in May, 2010 while working as the Used Car Manager at a local dealership. I knew from the moment I saw it that I had to have this car. Ever since high school these machines have fascinated me. Beginning in the early 1990s, Diamond Star Motors (DSM) began producing a car that was available from three different brands: Mitsubishi, Eagle, and Plymouth. The respective models were the Mitsubishi Eclipse, Eagle Talon, and the Plymouth Laser. They all came in front wheel drive and all wheel drive layouts, manual or automatic, and turbo or non-turbo. By far the rarest of these was the Plymouth Laser AWD Turbo. Not many were made and production was actually halted mid way through the 1994 production year. Costing over $16,000 new in 1992, they were the hot ticket for those looking for a thrill. In the years to come they began showing up in the used car market and for a relatively small amount you could have the platform for a great, FAST, weekend warrior! When I purchased the car, I became the third owner at 57,042 miles. VERY LOW ORIGINAL MILES! The owners before me were an older couple. The wife had driven it for a while then got tired of the manual transmission. The husband then drove it on the weekends until they decided to sell it. All of these miles are original and there is no indication of any rollback whatsoever. When I purchased the car it was in very good cosmetic shape but had a few mechanical issues. All 1st generation DSMs were notorious for leaking capacitors within the ECUs. This is exactly what happened with my car. After this repair ($78) it ran like new. This Laser has lived the majority of its life under a carport and it shows. The exterior of this car is an 9 out of 10, especially for DSM standards. There are knicks and dings from normal driving, however, this is to be expected from any 22-year-old car! Paint on the door mirrors is beginning to fade due to them being plastic. There is only one mark on the car from any kind of "accident." Just behind the left-rear wheel there is a quarter sized scrape from me backing into a curved retaining wall. Needless to say I was furious at myself. See pictures for more detail. The interior of the car is also a 9 out of 10. The carpet and front seats are very, very clean with no holes or significant stains. The rear seat is immaculate and appears to have never been used. The steering wheel retains its leather wrapping and has no discoloration or tears. I redid the headliner with a heavier vinyl when I bought the car. It still looks very good. The only real issue in the cabin is the dash pad. Due to age and probably heat, it has begun to peel up on the passenger side. This would likely be an easy repair for a professional. See pictures for details. This car is currently about $500 away from making a consistent and reliable 300HP. All that needs to be done is to install an EVO 8 MAF and have it retuned. The car runs perfectly now, but is not at its full power potential. Estimated power levels as the car stands now is probably around 200-215 awhp. EVERYTHING ON THIS CAR WORKS!!! Cruise control Headlights Brake lights Fog lights Interior lights Trunk lights Signal Indicators Radio Rear windshield wiper Front windshield wiper Front and rear washers Rear defrost Power windows Power locks Seatbelts Emergency brake Horn Emergency flashers Glove box Sunroof Air conditioning and heat Dash dimmer switch This car has been tastefully modified. Some things I upgraded along the way as some parts grew old and needed replacing, others I did in pursuit of increased performance. None of the modifications I have done scream ricer, or high school rat rod. Even the exhaust is 2.5" with a Magnaflow muffler to keep the noise down (hardly any droning either, which is nice). It should be noted that I live in a non-emissions test county thus the car does not currently have a catalytic converter installed. There is a test pipe bolted in currently and it is an easy swap to have a converter installed.

Watch Mitsubishi break the EV record at Pikes Peak
Wed, 09 Jul 2014Take a listen folks - you're hearing the eventual future of motorsports. This is Greg Tracy and the Mitsubishi MiEV Evolution III as they assault the treacherous course at Pikes Peak in just 9:08.188.
This run is significant for a number of reasons. As we recapped in our Pikes Peak finale post, Tracy's run was a mere two seconds off the best overall time at this year's event, snagging him and Mitsubishi second place overall, as well as first in the Electric Modified class and the fourth fastest time ever recorded. Perhaps more importantly, though, Tracy thoroughly trounced the previous EV record at Pikes Peak, beating the legendary Nobuhiro "Monster" Tajima's 2013 best of 9:46.530.
It's an impressive feat, and now you can experience the whole run from as near a first-person viewpoint as you're going to get. Scroll down and have a look.
Mitsubishi planning to bring back Lancer as hybrid crossover
Mon, Apr 23 2018It looks like the Mitsubishi Lancer is about to undertake a daring transformation from a ten-year-old sedan to a crossover. The Eclipse has already shed its coupe roots and become the Eclipse Cross, and now it's the Lancer's turn to become a high-rider. The carmaker already teased its future plans with the e-Evolution concept last year (pictured above), again combining a previously successful Mitsubishi nameplate with new crossover intentions. Now, talking to AutoExpress, Mitsubishi's chief operating officer and chief designer both hint of the Lancer taking the shape of the e-Evolution. For Mitsubishi, the Lancer's segment still looks very viable in the next decade, but it doesn't necessarily want to fight the Ford Focus and the VW Golf with a conventional hatchback, let alone a three-box saloon. "We believe we have a solution that could fit the segment", said COO Trevor Mann. "[The segment's] numbers are still expanding in China, so there's appeal. And I think because the segment is so large globally, we've got to take a look at it." The chief designer, Tsunehiro Kunimoto said, "Just because it's C-segment, it doesn't mean it has to be a very conventional hatchback. Maybe we can create a new type of hatchback vehicle. We're thinking quite radically." It is also likely that the Lancer's eventual replacement will use hybrid technology and a Renault-Nissan Alliance platform — and an all-wheel-drive option would still be a nod to the Lancer Evo's heritage, at least partially justifying any use of the Evolution brand. Trevor Mann says the product timeline is largely set until 2025, and the existing crossovers in the portfolio, the Outlander and the Outlander Sport (known elsewhere as the ASX) will get replacements. The company is now directing its attention to the Lancer and the Montero, both of which have last had a major update over ten years ago. The Lancer was phased out in the U.S. last fall after a very long run. Related Video:
Should you buy an EV?
Mon, Aug 17 2015Gas prices are hitting the skids and EVs are following suit; nearly every model in today's market has experienced a double-digit decline in sales – with the always notable exception of the Tesla Model S. Some EVs are in the last year of their generation while others have been half-heartedly designed and engineered to fulfill federal government quotas. The two non-Tesla front runners, the Chevy Volt and Nissan Leaf, are in the unfortunate position of offering customers "2015" vehicles that were designed with 2011 in mind. Yet there's plenty of love in the air. Nissan has built over 180,000 Leafs worldwide, and chances are you will be seeing a second electric vehicle accompanying the Leaf when the new generation is released in the coming months. The Chevy Volt now offers the highest customer satisfaction out of any car or truck sold in North America. Forget the luxury cars, the sports cars, the family trucksters, and even the rolling flagship that guides Tesla's jaw dropping valuation on Wall Street. You want happy with your EV? The brand that's rocking the segment right now is Chevy. It's been doing so for a while. The EV market is poised to become a lot more sophisticated over the next 18 months with the three leading manufacturers – Tesla, General Motors, and Nissan – launching five brand new models along with no fewer than 16 other manufacturers making many of their bread and butter cars available as plug-in hybrids. So, if you want to keep your money as far away from the Arab dictatorships and Russian mafia as Mercury is from Pluto, and enjoy your commute, we're more than ready to do our part! So let's begin with the most important question. What's Your Range? How much driving do you generally do in a day? If the answer to that question is 50 miles or fewer, an all-electric vehicle like the Nissan Leaf may be the best ingredient for your driving recipe. This is especially true if you have a second vehicle you can use for the occasional longer drive or are willing to rent for the weekend. But here's a little surprise for you. The upcoming Chevy Volt was designed to be driven in all-electric mode for over 50 miles. Fifty-three, to be exact. Plus, the Volt's battery has experienced a lot fewer deterioration issues than the Nissan Leaf's due in part to the Volt's liquid-cooled battery, which also uses a lot less of its capacity than the air-cooled Leaf's does.
