I have never seen any Lancer Ralliart Ads on Tv (I have cable so I don't get to watch free-to-air all that often) If Mitsu really wanted to sell these cars, they should show this add here in Aus:

What does everyone think?

Would never be allowed to air in Australia. Sideways on public streets...lol

The whingers would be up in arms about it!

Good ad, but should have had a blue one on there :P

haha what a crazy ad. It would be cool if we had ads like that here but I’m pretty sure they set some stupid laws that say cars cannot drive fast in commercials etc..

Also, I don’t think Mitsubishi is having any trouble selling these lil rockets.

I think I'm going to go and watch it another 10 times. :wink:

My Point is: Mitsu hasn't made a Ralliart Lancer Ad on its own, since the release late last year. If they wanted to show subie and mazda up, they could come up with a catchy ad like this one.......Surely those tyres aren't the stock ones like on the car. Must be a good driver to get an awd car around a corner like that!!! Notice the window tinting so dark, you can't even see in. Must be digitally enhanced!!!!

If you go around a right angle corner at 80 or 90 I'm sure your car will do that to lol.

if you notice when the car first appears, you can hardly see the disclaimer down the bottom.....lol.

" Professional Driver on a controlled course - DO NOT ATTEMPT ".

thats a classic.

yeah getting it sideways like that can be done.......
have a look at which way the wheels are facing when he first enters the corner...nice driving!

Bring on the skid pan! (you can replicate this at a less speed!)
Simple formula:
Come in at 80 in about 4th, tip it in, bit of hand brake to unsettle/ initiate the slide, downshift 3rd, power hard (or in good old England "plant the Welie") and catch the mess with a little opposite lock! Enjoy! The AWD allows you to "rally" or power out, in other words when the front is in the right angle/direction, straighted the wheel and keep the power on.

Think the standard tyres would allow this...they do lack overall grip on the limit.

I could watch this ad all day....

They show the interior as a RH Drive but it is an ad for the USA.
They use the term MSRP which is Manufacturers Suggested retail Price ie the sticker price.
Over there you negotiate up from invoice price not down from MSRP.
It is very easy to do as all the invoice and list prices for the car and all options/equipment packs are widely avail in all media to everyone.

If you know how to do it it can be done here to but is very difficult.
With present economic situation you shoild be able to drive a very good deal if you know how.
