Believe it or not, Mitsubishi’s Lancer has been named as one of 2008’s coolest new cars for under $18,000 by the Kelly Blue Book.
The nod came partly because of the vehicle’s technological add ons that are available.
What? When one thinks of innovative technology, Mitsubishi's autos are not usually one of them. (Now, barely street-legal race cars, on the other hand....) According to mobile Electronics magazine, the idea is to bow to manufacturers who make entry level vehicles that are nicely equipped and are still sold for a price that is reasonably low.
And what are some of these equipment? They include Freehand Advanced Security Transmitter FAST Key entry system, bluetooth, and a 30-GB hard drive navigation system with 6GB of digital music storage capacity.
Other cars that made the list include:
• 2008 Ford Focus
• 2008 Honda Fit
• 2008 Jeep Patriot
• 2008 Mazda 3
• 2009 Pontiac Vibe
• 2008 Scion xB
• 2008 Subaru Impreza
• 2008 Suzuki SX4
• 2008 Volkswagen Rabbit
Our take? We're still waiting for the car that drives itself!
