At first glance the teaser dis­plays the now famil­iar cues we asso­ciate with Mitsubishi’s  new Lancer, but the pro­por­tions appear a good deal smaller, and the head­lights are def­i­nitely rounded, as opposed to the stan­dard Lancer’s sharp lights.

Spec­u­la­tion is rife about the new vehi­cle, but the two like­li­est can­di­dates are the Con­cept cX and the new face-​​lifted Colt. We’ll see what tran­spires come Octo­ber 2nd.
