Mitsubishi Evo

I mentioned about a week ago that Mitsubishi was auctioning off the very last Lancer Evo Final Edition made for the US market. The proceeds were to benefit a charity for the hungry in California. Mitsubishi has announced that the car has sold and the winning bid was $76,400, about double the sticker price.

Back in 2015, Mitsubishi auctioned off the first Lancer Evolution Final Edition with the proceeds benefitting charity. That car was US0001, fast-forward a year and Mitsubishi is now auctioning off the very last Evo Final Edition again to help a good cause.

For the most part, few of us will shed a tear if Mitsubishi cars went the way of the dodo. Sure, that might not happen, but it is certainly looking like a matter of time before the brand goes belly up.
