Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart Wins 'Best Overall Value' Award.

IntelliChoice.com, the leading source for automotive ownership cost and value analysis, recently announced the winners of its annual "Best Overall Value of the Year" (BOVY) awards for 2009 cars, trucks, crossovers and SUV's. This year, Mitsubishi is proud to announce that the 2009 Lancer Ralliart took home the BOVY in the sport sedan/wagon under $38,000 category, beating out a long list of worthy competitors from the U.S. and overseas.

The BOVY Awards evaluate every facet of what it costs to own and operate a vehicle over time, and honor best-in-class vehicles that deliver outstanding value and lower than expected costs. The awards recognize vehicles whose cost of ownership is significantly lower than expected compared to competitive models in the same class.

Of course, there's so much more to the Lancer Ralliart than value, considering it's packed to the gills with a wide range of high-performance technologies. Like a 237-hp MIVEC turbocharged engine, a six-speed Twin Clutch Sportronic^® Shift Transmission (TC-SST) with twin paddle shifters and a proprietary All-Wheel Control (AWC) system. Any way you look at it, Ralliart represents a sophisticated mix of performance and comfort at a price point not usually found on vehicles of this caliber.

According to James Bell, editor of IntelliChoice.com, "When a brand like Mitsubishi, which is traditionally known for sporty performance, is also delivering class-leading value, consumers win."
