MITSUBISHI LANCER (2004-2008)
Two updates were given for this version: one occurred in May 2004 which received a Boulay grille and ABS brakes while a second one that happened in June 2006 made the vehicle more longer (2004-2006 models are shorter than the original). All except the GLX and GLS were discontinued with the launch of the Lancer EX.
