When Mitsubishi sent us a Lancer Evolution for a long-term test back in March 2003, the carmaker hadn't yet fallen into its Ty-D-Bol man impersonation that the company found itself doing for most of 2004. Last year was not a good year for Mitsubishi, but the Evo continues to be the one must-have product in the lackluster lineup. The vehicles that launched just before and after the Evo (the Endeavor and the new Galant) didn't buoy the brand; instead, they pulled sales into the lav and toward the porcelain.
