Exterior - What the Auto Press Says

The Lancer's aggressive front-end styling on both the sedan and hatchback models is a favorite among reviewers and receives the highest marks of any car in the affordable small car class.  In a class where hatchbacks tend to have the same design, the Ralliart Sportback stands out.

• "The Lancer's styling brings to mind the old car-review cliché, 'handsome but tasteful.' Aside from the silly-looking wing on the GTS model, I like it." -- About.com
• "With a front end inspired by the air intakes of fighter jets, the base Lancer DE is adorned with black door handles, black mirrors and 16-inch covered steel wheels. The Lancer ES projects a far more polished appearance, with 16-inch alloy wheels, color-keyed door handles and mirrors and a chrome grille surround. The top-level GTS is further distinguished by 18-inch alloy wheels, front and side body extensions, fog lights, a rear spoiler and a chrome exhaust outlet." -- Kelley Blue Book
• "The Lancer's aggressive front end and the curvy hatchback rear end seem to be fighting for attention on the Sportback, but the new Lancer model looks every bit as sporty as the sedan. While most hatchbacks suffer from a lack of unique styling in the rear, the Lancer Sportback has a very distinct look thanks to the 45 degree angle of the rear glass sits and the long, straight-edge spoiler mounted at roof level above the rear glass." -- Autotropolis
