So sad to see it go, but chances are Mitsubishi won't survive without a sporty car in the line up. Boring utilitarian types tend to go into obscurity rather quickly. Oldsmobile, Isuzu, Plymouth etc... decided to stay with lack luster, average looking cars. Every major manufacturer knows this, from Toyota develpoing the FT-86 to Honda with its meager SI & CR-Z. It's kind of stupid having a rally inspired car in production and no longer having rally team. Who knows, maybe this will open up a niche market for shops turning ordinary Lancers in Evo's. I don't think they'll kill off the Lancer anytime soon.
