Compact autos gaining momentum in many auto markets

It makes sense that Mitsubishi is jumping into the idea of smaller, more compact autos that either use gas much more efficiently than other models or solely run on electric power.  We’ve brought you quite a bit of information about the “i” that is rolling into the U.S. market later this fall.  This electric car is just a small sampling of the growing line-up of similar autos that Mitsubishi will be rolling out, here in the United States, as well as other markets, where subcompact autos have already made a big showing.

2010 Lancer a Great Car at an affordable price

The 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer is a smaller sedan with plenty of nice features and O’Brien Mitsubishi of Normal, your leading Bloomington Mitsubishi dealer, has several in stock. Let us show you some reasons why this car is one you shouldn’t pass up.

Exterior Styling

One area that stands out on this car is the styling of the front grille. It aggressively juts out at you, with the eye-catching trapezoid shape, with horizontally placed headlights that fit in nicely with the whole front end design. Looking at the sedan version from the side, it has a long and lean design that makes the car flow very nicely. Even the five-door hatchback with the shorter backside balances out the “shark-like” front end very nicely. Overall, we agree here at the dealership that the exterior style was done very well and is sure to wow the customer.

Affordability

The 2010 Lancer has the advantage of coming in many trims with various features sure to attract buyers with all different budgets. Here at O’Brien Mitsubishi of Normal, we want to help you get the best deal possible. For starters, if you choose a base Lancer, you’re looking at a price tag of around $18-$19K. The five-door hatchback GTS model with a manual transmission is priced at $23K.  The top of the line Lancer for 2010 is the four door sedan, Evolution MR Touring model priced at $41K.  Please keep in mind that we also offer special Internet pricing deals, so check with the staff here for even more information.

Driving Highlights

As we’ve told you, there are many different trims offered in the Lancer, similar to other models, such as the Mitsubishi Galant, Normal, IL residents should test drive through our store.   Depending what trim you choose, you may find features that stand out.  For example, the GTS and Evolution models are noted for excellent handling and steering.  The GTS Hatchback is also complimented for offering an overall fun, smooth ride.  All models come with an overall pleasant driving experience that makes this car a solid choice.
