The Mitsubishi Lancer is the Japanese name for the car that is/was sold in the USA as the Mitsubishi Mirage. The Lancer is a small four-door sedan.
The Lancer would be totally uninteresting, if it wasn't for the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, a special version of the car. It's actually more like a totally different car, as the Evo is a racing car in street-car clothes.
