Getting back to the car in question, the Lancer ES, LS and O.Z are great additions to the Canadian compact market segment. In nonconformist fashion Mitsubishi adds upscale features never before offered at the low end of the feeding chain, in a well built, attractive, performance oriented package. Will the Lancer do as well in Canada as it has in the U.S.? My guess, it'll sell even better per capita. Our lower average disposable income means we have to search out value. After you've driven one yourself, you'll probably agree that the Lancer is a great buy dollar for dollar.
