ClubCJ - The CJ Lancer Club

We heard that their would be a new rear bumper...but what are the changes gonna be on the new model that will be arriving in dealers at the end of july?

Taken from evolutionm.net and 9glancers.com.

Hatchback version will be added for the GTS and Ralliart trim
ASC standard on all trims
Ralliart taillights on all trims
ABS standard on DE now
New meter design with mono color MID (DE/ES)
New high contrast meter with full color MID (GTS/RALLIART)
Restyled 16" Alloy (ES)
New I/P accent trim (GTS/RALLIART)
Additional interior chrome on hvac control and shift panel (GTS/RALLIART)
Larger side air dam (ES SPORT PKG/GTS/RALLIART)
New front lower console accessory box lid (GTS/RALLIART)
Leather wrapped parking brake (GTS/RALLIART)
Heated leather seats added to touring package (GTS)
Rockford Fosage upgraded to 710 watts (SUN&SOUND)
New windshield glass, new cup holder lid, solar UV door glass...

Base model pricing, package pricing TBD. Expect $200-$500 base 5% more on packages, expect touring to at least double becuase of the leather. Optioned out GTS could reach $27,000.

Uhh...most of that stuff is standard on the MY09 models?

Looks to be for the American market and not Australian.

Most of the changes are intended for the es & vr models. The VRX is already kick ass;)

Second that!
The VRX is optioned to the hilt here
Beautiful car all round

New high contrast meter with full color MID (GTS/RALLIART)
New I/P accent trim (GTS/RALLIART)
Additional interior chrome on hvac control and shift panel (GTS/RALLIART)
Larger side air dam (ES SPORT PKG/GTS/RALLIART)
Leather wrapped parking brake (GTS/RALLIART)
Rockford Fosage upgraded to 710 watts (SUN&SOUND)

These all look new to me. full colour MID what a burn!!

Very interesting.

are you serious that the old DE didnt come with abs?

Thats stupid as. You can get ABS on a 1990s ford

lol all Aus 08+ lancers have abs as standard... actually 1 up of abs... abs + ebd + brake assist. i wouldnt be surprised if all cars made from the 90s up sold in Aus had abs as standard. america must have a lower safety standard.

ps: im surprised the RA taillights would be standard on all cars... it'll reduce its exclusivity possibly to the point where ppl will want red taillights lol...

my 04 CH didn't have abs.....

Cool that hatches will become available in US. That will mean more body kit options and other accessories as the sportback market grows. At the moment, there are hardly any options because they arent sold in many places.

+1 a good sign for sportback owners

Are these things confirmed or just speculation?

If anyone has more info on the full colour MID please share.
