In Canada the EVO is not available due to the car having a front mounted intercooler and it being damaged in our tough front bumper hit test.
Only the FWD Lancers are available in different models, the two top being the OZ Rally and RalliArt versions. The RalliArt by far being the best. Bigger engine, 2.4L with variable valve timing. Bigger brakes and only one with discs all around. 5 bolt hubs. Full mandrel bent stainless sport exhaust with mandrel bent stainless header. You get the idea. To see more go here, http://www.mitsubishicars.ca/MMSA/jsp/lancer/index .jsp . Only 2004 models listed as of yet, but the same as 2005s.
I needed to buy a 4 door car because someone had to pick up my two nieces from nursery school every Thursday. I couldn't use the MA67 (stored winter anyway) and the 4x4 Tacoma. Both only two doors and very small rear seats. So I bought a brand new 2005 RalliArt after looking at a ton of other cars. I didn't need anything too big and too fast, I had the other two Toyotas. I had to be able to fit being 6'4" tall and still have room in the back seat.
Here are some pics after I picked it up 3 weeks ago and it had 10km on the clock.
