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.
