Thrilling Visual and Performance Enhancements at an Excellent Value Distinguish 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution SE

July 31, 2006 -- CYPRESS, Calif. -- Mitsubishi Motors North America (MMNA) is applying the \\\"Special Edition\\\"; treatment to its critically acclaimed ninth-generation Lancer Evolution. The 2006 Lancer Evolution SE offers special features at a competitive price of $33,249 MSRP to make this legendary performance vehicle even more thrilling. The new SE trim level represents the final enhancement to a Lancer Evolution body style that has been on sale in the U.S. market since 2003.

Inside the Special Edition trim level, supportive, red-stitched RECARO(R) seats accentuate the interior while the exterior receives a new front airdam extension that adds style while reducing front end lift. A lightweight aluminum roof panel, also found on the Lancer Evolution RS and MR, helps control body roll by lowering the vehicle\\\'s center of gravity. The feather weight 17\\\"; forged BBS(R) alloy wheels, now in a new \\\"Diamond Black\\\"; finish, add style while reducing unsprung weight to improve suspension performance. The SE trim level also includes high-intensity discharge (HID) headlights with halogen fog lamps giving the vehicle a distinctive look. The available exterior color choices for the Lancer Evolution SE are Apex Silver, Graphite Gray and Tarmac Black.

True to the Lancer Evolution\\\'s heritage, the SE is powered by a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder DOHC intercooled-turbocharged engine with Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing and Electronic Control (MIVEC) that is mated to a rugged 5-speed transmission.

The revised airdam, Recaro(R) seats with red stitching, and forged BBS(R) wheels with \\\"Diamond Black\\\"; finish are available on the MR trim level as well in the form of an Appearance Package which sells for $500.00.

Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc., (MMNA) is responsible for all manufacturing, finance, sales, marketing, research and development operations of the Mitsubishi Motors Corporation in the United States.

It almost matches the paint of my car - it\'s like a black chrome or a shiny gray.

LoL @ cheap. How much you think the new airdam might be priced separately for? Around $300-$400 range i'm guessing...

The diamond black looks gay on the evo wheels, not the same as yours.

It looks like a nickel finish, like the Scion tC wheels. I think it looks fine, maybe best on silver, which always looked dull with against the grey MR wheels.

That's a bummer...

If it looked anything like my wheels, it would be sick.
