Mitsubishi to Debut Three New Models at Detroit Auto Show

Word just came from the North American International Auto Show that Mitsubishi will debut three new models at the 2007 show in Detroit in early January. Already confirmed to make its first public appearance is the Lancer sedan. The considerably redesigned Lancer was one of Mitsubishi’s bread and butter vehicles, but it has aged greatly with only the high-performance Lancer Evolution maintaining a hold on the market. Shown here is the Concept X, a take on the next Evolution model. Expect the more mainstream sedan to have less aggressive front and rear ends, but many of the lines and the overall design itself will most likely find their way to the base Lancer.

As for the other two models, we’re not sure what to expect, but there could be a new Montero full-size SUV — a European version of which is debuting in Paris this week — or even a new Galant sedan. Following today’s news, it sure seems like the 2006 - 07 car show season is in full swing. We’ll keep you updated with the latest news as it comes in.

Update: There will be a new concept of the next generation Lancer Evolution debuting alongside the production Lancer base sedan at the Detroit auto show. The third vehicle will be another concept but Mitsubishi is keeping its identity a secret for now.
