The EVO was sold new with a shorter power train warranty (5 years), than the rest of the Mitsu lineup (10 years). Just something I noticed flipping through the brochures back in 2014 the day I bought my car.
Not sure why this was the case, probably something to do with people who buy premium cars like that wouldn't be concerned with costs the same as me? I think that small electric vehicle Mitsu had back then was also a shorter warranty. Does make you suspicious lol

Really? Not the other way around? Electric engines have matured for ages, and are very reliable. The battery technology in the i-miev was relatively new, and no one knew how long they would survive Canadian winters.
On the other hand, the buyers didn't know that either, and maybe wouldn't dare to buy a car from which the manufacturer doesn't dare to guarantee the most expensive component to last for more than 5 years.

Those EVOs are pretty rare in my part of Canada. There is a white one near my work, I haven't seen it lately but I haven't been hanging around the smoking area for a couple years, either, so no more car watching. Anyways always loved that car.
Maybe they should make an all electric Mirage with the same features and design, just different engine. And offer the 1.5 engine as a performance trim for those who want performance and the chance to row their own gears.

The Mirage Ralliart is hated by many people in my country, it seems. A popular local car blog called it "the saddest Mitsubishi you could buy today, tomorrow and probably the next day". They made fun of the fact that the biggest news on this variant are new stickers and some new plastic parts.
I also saw a lot of negative comments on the Dutch Mitsubishi Owners Facebook group, but the Space Star was never really a favorite car over there, I believe.
All in all, not really that surprising.
So we know anything on the price (in Thailand) compared to the regular models?
Ralliart is going on the opposite direction before ralliart badge car looks like a regular car but tuned and equipped with turbo, now it looks fast but runs like a regular car. lol i miss the time when they can afford to make it, the lancer ralliart looks like a regular lancer but with turbo and evo 10 drive train its a sleeper car i love that car because it looks slow but underneath its a evo 10 little brother.
