I took delivery of my Lancer on 8/27/08. Before I bought the car, I'd seen them on the dealer lot, & had seen maybe 3 on the streets. Since I've gotten mine though, I've not seen ANY on the street!! None!! Until tonight! XD I saw a blue GTS. I thought I recognized the wheels, then I thought the lights looked familiar, but the snub nose is what told me it was another Lancer! If I wasn't in a hurry to get home, I'd have turned around & followed them. haha!


Do you guys see many Lancers in your neck of the woods?

when i first got it no way, but now that i go to college i see them a lot. Seem to be a pretty "hip" car in the younger crowd

I see a few, but not many around here. Though there is an exec for Mitsu that lives around here and had a Rotor Glow w/ projector HIDs a couple months before they we released. He drives past my house on his commute. Its oh so sexy.

I work with a grey DE and theres a 08 blue GTS around town but those are the only ones I've seen

I live in Houston and I seen like 2 GTS in a month and base 1 today.

There are more GTSs on the two dealer lots in this city than any other trim, but they're outranked 4:1 by CVTs..

However, I see more of them 16" wheels than 18s, and obviously I see more CVTs than 5 speeds.. so easy to spot a CVT. I've only seen two others (Blue and Black) that have HIDs, but one with a more bluish hue, and the other was just stupid amounts of blue -- already reaching into purple. That guy could barely see 10ft in front of him with that little of actual light output.. I couldn't stop laughing at him.

Anyhoo, on my ~150kms of city and suburb driving today, I think I've spotted 4 others.

I see probably 5-6 2008+ Lancers a day here. They seem to be multiplying faster and faster by the day. In fact just yesterday my neighbor got a 2009 GTS.

I work with graphite grey GTS and a co-worker has a black ES. 3 blocks north of my work, there's another blue GTS (with HIDs too), a silver GTS, and a silver ES. On some occasions, I'll see a black manual ES and a blue ES too.

And lets not forget SixFeetDeep with his Rally Red GTS.

When I first got the car, I was the only one with it... now they're popping up like weeds. I can't wait to get my projectors in... at least mine will be a little more unique than the rest.
