2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X M - Inside Line

2008-Mitsubishi-Lancer-Evolution-X-M.jpg

Inside Line have published their review of the 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X M marque. 'The 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution is available in two trims, the base GSR and the top-shelf MR. The racer in us screamed for the lighter, faster, cheaper GSR with its five-speed manual transmission. But valid reasons kept bringing the MR back into the picture.
To begin with, the Evo MR's base price is close to that of our long-term 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STI. The MR also posted a faster lap time around the Streets of Willow than both the GSR and the STI during our recent comparison test, which the MR ultimately won. Most of all, a long-term, one-year, 20,000-mile relationship with the Evo X MR gives us an excellent opportunity to put some hard miles on Mitsubishi's newest technological gizmo, the TC-SST (Twin Clutch Sporttronic Shift Transmission).

This introduction to the brave new world of dual-clutch automated manual transmissions also presents an opportunity to compare the performance of the dual-clutch automated manual transmission of the 2009 Nissan GT-R that will be joining our test fleet shortly.'
