New Mitsubishi Vehicles Overview


It is a time of transition for Mitsubishi, as the company begins its move towards a greener lineup with the introduction of the i-MiEV. However looking at the present, the Japanese automaker still offers a group of cars and crossovers that are powered more conventionally.

The Lancer compact sedan is offered in three ways: Lancer, Lancer Sportback (hatchback), and the rally-inspired Lancer Evolution.

For 2012, the Lancer adds the all-wheel drive SE model. There are three different four-cylinder engine options, with the sporty Ralliart trim getting the most powerful – a 237-hp turbocharged I-4 that runs power through a dual clutch six-speed auto-manual.

The Lancer Sportback is the hatchback version of the Lancer, keeping the same styling upfront but adding a sharply sloped hatch to the rear which improves cargo room.

Lastly, the Lancer Evolution, affectionately called the "Evo," represents the pinnacle of Mitsubishi’s engineering prowess. The exterior is set apart from normal Lancers by its massive front air intakes and a rear diffuser. It also offers standard all-wheel drive and a 291-hp turbocharged four-cylinder under the hood.

The midsize Galant sedan is unchanged for 2012 and only offers one drivetrain combination: a 160-horsepower four-cylinder and a four-speed automatic.

Representing the future of the company, the battery-powered i-MiEV makes its US debut for the 2012 model year. The i-MiEV features an 80-mile range and the tiny four-door also seats four-passengers. Its largest selling point is its price; the i-MiEV qualifies for the $7,500 federal tax credit and is cheaper than both the Leaf and Volt by a fairly large margin. Initially only available in a few markets, it should be released in most states by the end of 2012.

Mitsubishi also makes a sports car, the four-seater Eclipse which is also available as a convertible, the Eclipse Spyder. If you are looking to get more performance out of your Eclipse or Eclipse Spyder, definitely opt for the GT trim and its 265-hp V-6.

Rounding things out are a pair of crossovers. The Outlander Sport is the smaller of the two and seats five. For 2012, its CVT has been recalibrated for more responsiveness and therefore better performance from its 148-hp four-cylinder. All-wheel drive is optional.

The Outlander is more traditionally sized and seats five or seven passengers. Its third row can fold flat into the floor for extra cargo space when needed and the Outlander is one of the more responsive and better handling crossovers around. Engine options include a four-cylinder mated to a CVT or a 230-hp V-6 that comes with a six-speed automatic.

Secret 1
Consumer Incentives

Zero percent financing, employee discount, cash back, out-the-door price tags...

Most dealers work hard to offer the public competitive prices. These incentives can grab your attention, but they can also obscure the actual terms you're getting on your purchase.

How can you fully understand incentives to get the lowest possible price on your car?

Secret 2
Finance & Insurance

Most state franchise laws prohibit manufacturers from selling cars directly to the public, so the dealer will be your middleman. But in terms of financing and insurance, you can choose a bank or the dealer directly.

Secret 3
Additional Costs

Destination charges, taxes, license and title fees, advertising fees... When going to a dealership, you must ask for an explanation of any fee you don't understand. But you need to choose your battles wisely. Your local car dealer may have taken a loss or slim profit along the way, and your fighting over something like a doc fee when the deal is nearly wrapped up may be counterproductive.

In any case, there are many fees and charges in the sale process: some inevitable, others questionable. How do you tell them apart?

Secret 4
Trade-in Value

If you currently own a car, it probably represents profit. The question is, whose profit will it be?

With few exceptions, you'll get the most money for your used car by selling it privately. That's because dealers pay wholesale prices — not retail prices — for used cars, and they sell them at retail.

Your current car's value can be used to lower the price on your new car. However, most people underestimate their used car's value when going to a dealership. How can you maximize your value?

Secret 5
Dealer Holdback

The car manufacturer holds back a fraction of the price of all vehicles the dealership sells. Then, it returns the money to the dealership, usually on a quarterly basis.

Dealer holdback began its life as a safety net that ensured the manufacturers would have a security deposit of sorts if a dealership missed payments, and the dealerships would have money on hand to cover overhead costs when the holdback was returned.

How can you take advantage of dealer holdbacks to get the bottom line price?

Secret 6
Dealer Incentives

Unlike consumer incentives, dealer incentives are factory-to-dealer incentives that reduce the dealer's true cost to buy the vehicle from the factory to below invoice.

Manufacturers offer these incentives on a regional basis to generate sales on specific models. These incentives are sometimes referred to as "spiffs," and they can touch off competition among dealers to move slower-selling stock.

For instance, a dealer incentive may kick in when a certain sales target is reached, with each subsequent sale resulting in a higher factory-to-dealer rebate. How can you benefit from that?
