Mitsubishi Lancer EVO X Drawing Customers from German Brands

An in-house study of UK customers buying the new Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X since the car was launched in March 2008 has shown that 38% of the exchanges offered against the Twin Clutch SST (Sports Shift Transmission) model have been from premium German brands, while 31% have been from other Japanese competitor brands.

On the other hand, sales of the manual transmission have been dominated by the FQ-360 variant, with the majority (40%) coming from existing EVO owners. However, a further 19% of part exchanges came from premium German marques and 20% from other Japanese manufacturers. According to Mitsubishi, several super cars have also been traded in against new Lancer Evolution Xs, with one dealer handing over a Lancer Evolution X FQ-300 SST and a cheque for £90,000 against a Ferrari F430. -Continued

Lance Bradley, Mitsubishi UK’s Sales and Marketing Director stated that, “this shows that the new Evolution X is certainly attracting people out of German cars, especially into the SST, and that the manual gearbox car is not only attracting traditional Evo customers, but also customers of other Japanese marques.”

Video Comparison: Mitsubishi Lancer EVO X vs BMW 135i Coupe

Theoretically, the BMW 135i Coupe isn’t the first car that comes up to mind as a competitor to the Mitsubishi Lancer EVO X, however, we totally agree with the guys at Motor Trend that say that both vehicles are aimed towards driving enthusiasts and as such, everything goes.

In a nutshell, the 135i is a 2+2 rear-wheel drive coupe equipped with a twin-turbocharged, 3.0-liter straight-six developing 300Hp while the EVO X, a four-door sedan equipped with a high-tech all-wheel drive system and a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. As usual, we won’t spoil the surprise by telling you who's the winner in this comparison test. -Follow the jump for the video
