Our version of the Lancer is not an "converted" version of the Lancer FWD car that they started selling here a few years ago. It shares a few parts with the Lancer FWD, and it's only a few options away from the Japanese Evo VIII, which also shares parts with it's Japanese FWD counterpart. Our car is missing a variable center differential, and Mitsu's active yaw control. These changes were required to get the Evo down to Mitsu of America's decided 30k price point.
Also, I think the entire automotive industry needs to get it's damn average up.
