Recalling the Prototype-S

As you know the Prototype-S was the concept car for the Lancer Sportback.

Now past the time since its introduction in Genova, we see how the production car is almost equal to that concept, it is truly a Ralliart Sportback with the only difference being the headlights, taillights, the daytime lights and shape of the wing.

The rims are fantastics

I understand perfectly, it was the moment when you understood that your lancer canĀ“t mount a bed like this ...he,he.. :wink:

I am well past sleeping in cars.. not much of a feature...

I like the front headlamps... I know that most don't but they are kinda cool.

What about the new Outlander headlights.. are they are direct translation? If there are more of the same headlights on the market then the need for an aftermarket HID headlight will be increased... might lead to a quicker production of them!

I have been thinking of that for a while you know... you're on to me! :lol:

To my eye, they do look identical! Fingers crossed I can find some to try it out!

I'll admit I haven't seen a ZH Outlander up close, but from what I can tell in passing a few every couple of days the headlights are different (I don't know why, they look so much like the Lancer they could have saved some development $$'s)

The Outlander just had a facelift for MY10, and that is the one with the same headlight shape as the Lancer. Pre-Facelift was totally different, which is what you are referring to ;)

Adrian, I am not buying some $1700 ones.. I am already overcapitalising this car.. no matter how much I put into it, its still an ES.

I will wait for some replica ones, which will come in at around the $500 mark, then I will have....

I don't have to be the first for everything, that's Tadzorz' job!

I will probably be the first to Turbo a CVT, just because I can spend the $5,200 to get one delivered. Might be the first to put on the really big brakes too, just because no one else thinks they're necessary... I have only spent $7k above the original $16k buy price... so another $7k makes it a $30k ES.... starting to be a bit silly.

I have looked at them up close and they don't look the same to me. Very similar, but not the same. The outlander ones are a bit bigger in places.

my reason for comparing them was sinister I must admit. I was hoping that the OUtlanders in the work fleet would become spare parts donors if anything happened to the lights in my car - but I don't think they will fit.

Maybe ask PMR to do a part no. check for each type of headlight and see if they match up....
