After the successful debut of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution GSR 2008, Mitsubishi Motors announces now the availability of the more high-tech Lancer Evolution MR 2008, the newest, most sophisticated variant of the unit series that started 16 years ago.

Since the introduction earlier in 2008, the tenth-generation Lancer Evolution GSR 2008 has met positive reactions through the industry for keeping a balance of core performance values plus improved all-around user-technology and capability:

"Like every previous Lancer Evolution, the Evo X redeems its various idiosyncrasies with a fantastic engine and drivetrain." — Automobile "The car is impressive, not only for the gains in performance and handling, but also the subtle transformation from hardcore rally racer to high performance all-wheel-drive sports sedan." - AutoWeek

"The Evo X drives like nothing else in the world." — Car and Driver

"Mitsubishi has strengthened the Evo’s slick-shifting five-speed manual for the tuner crowd. Shifter is nearly perfect." — Edmunds Inside Line

"Whether manual tabbed or left in auto, S-Sport gear changes are brutally quick with the kind of shift violence seen only in Italian exotics." — MotorTrend

"Is the new EVO better than before? — The answer is a resounding ’yes.’" — MSN Autos

"Bottom line: It’s drive-by-the-seat-of-your-pants, four-wheel fun." — Popular Mechanics

"The new Lancer Evolution is no longer just for weekend boy racers; it has evolved into a complete sports sedan, one with enough of a wild side to thrill anyone." — Road & Track

"The introduction of the 2008 Lancer Evolution MR with TC-SST gives us an opportunity to expand upon the existing Evolution customer base," said Dan Kuhnert, the executive vice president at sales and marketing - MMNA. "The added capability and functionality of the new Lancer Evolution vehicles make them a more viable option for everyday driving, while maintaining the rally-inspired heritage that has made the series a global performance car icon."

Both Lancer Evolution 2008 units will be displayed at the Mitsubishi Owner’s Day 2008 in Cypress, CA - July 19.
