What is a Lancer / Lancer EVO / Lancer Evolution?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsubishi_Lancer_Evolution

Update: As of the 2002 model year, the Lancer is now sold in the U.S.A., but it is not the "Evolution" version. Rather, it is a 120 hp family sedan.

For the 2003 model year, Mitsubishi made the Lancer Evolution VIII available in the USA. It is not available in Canada owing to stricter crash safety regulations, but the next iteration should be available in Canada.

The Lancer came to America some time ago, in the watered-down Toyota Camera-esque form. Recently, Canadians now have the option of buying the Evo. There is a rumour 2015 will be mitsubishi levo's last year.

The Last Word: It's 2016 and there are no new GSR / MRs in sight. Goodbye Evo.
