Mitsubishi has given the green light for a production version of the five-door Lancer Sportback, which was first displayed as a concept car back at the 2005 Frankfurt Show.

The Lancer range will kick off with a 1.5L petrol engine, followed by another 1.8L petrol unit and Mitsubishi’s new 2.0L...

It looks like Mitsubishi is going to be milking all the (justifiable) interest in the new Lancer Evolution for all its worth. It’s just released sketch images of what the actual Evo X will look like. The previous concept that’s been shown was just a taste of some of the styling cues, but the one that will be shown at Detroit, along with the new Lancer, will be very very close to the original. We've already reported that UK magazine Autocar scooped the production lancer on its cover, which you can see by clicking the image to the right. The final production car won’t go on...
