2010 Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback all set to hit the U.S shores

Mitsubishi has once again proved that they are with the sports car enthusiasts by answering their increasing demand for fun, attractive, yet practical cars that complement their active and individual lifestyles by setting the platform to launch 2010 Lancer Sportback to the U.S shores this summer. Rick Case Mitsubishi, the leading Mitsubishi dealership near Cleveland has made all arrangements to welcome the newest members of the Mitsubishi family.

Blending dynamic design, flexible utility and magnificent performance to meet the evolving consumer demand, Mitsubishi brings the versatile, five-door 2010 Lancer Sportback in two versions -- 2010 Lancer Sportback GTS and Ralliart. The new design is more or less like a normal Lancer from the front but the rear portion gets a refreshing look with extra length and C-Pillar making it more versatile.

The all-new Lancer Sportback GTS features Mitsubishi's efficient 2.4-liter engine with 168 horsepower and 167 pound-feet of torque. MSRP for the GTS with a five-speed manual transmission is $19,190, while the six-speed CVT automatic transmission with magnesium paddle shifters starts at an MSRP of $20,190.

The Lancer Sportback Ralliart starts at an MSRP of $27,590 and is powered by Mitsubishi's 2.0-liter MIVEC turbocharged engine that pumps out 237 horsepower and 253 lb.-ft. of torque. All-Wheel Control (AWC) with Active Center Differential (ACD) is standard, as is the quick-shifting six-speed Twin Clutch-Sportronic Shift Transmission (TC-SST) and magnesium paddle shifters that it shares with the high performance Lancer Evolution.
