The highly anticipated Mitsubishi
Motors Prototype X and its street-legal sibling, the all-new
Lancer, will debut at the North American International Auto Show
in Detroit on January 8, 2008. Mr. Takashi Nishioka, chairman of
Mitsubishi Motors Corporation and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries
and Hiroshi Harunari, president and CEO of Mitsubishi Motors
North America, Inc. (MMNA) will brief the media at the press
conference in the Mitsubishi display in Detroit's Cobo Hall.

Prototype X hints at the
next production version of the world-renowned Mitsubishi Motors
rally-winning Lancer Evolution, which will be released later in
2007. The high performance engine, excellent dynamics and
striking design will appeal to enthusiasts worldwide - for those
who desire a daily driver with street credentials as well as
those anticipating weekend club or rally performance.
The Prototype X is closely related
to the all-new 2008 Lancer, which also makes its show debut in Detroit.
2008 Lancer
The first 2008 Mitsubishi model to
debut is the all-new Lancer compact sport sedan, delivering
driven-to-thrill dynamics, "class-up" value, advanced safety and
available cutting-edge user-technology in an aggressively styled
package. The new-generation Lancer models arrive in Mitsubishi
dealerships in early 2007.
The 2007 models on display will
include: the all-new Outlander, Endeavor, Galant, Eclipse, Eclipse
Spyder and Raider models. Specialty vehicles on display will be the Baja
Raider, which roared to victory in the Stock Mini class at the 2006 Baja
1000 and the Endeavor SE Concept, revealed at the SEMA show in November.
