Haha, damn I'm getting old, I still think of anything from the 90's as being quite a new car lol. Oldschool doesn't start till the 60's.

90's is pretty new to me and I ain't a old fart either. 90's is far from old school!

90's IS NOT old skool! i think the limit for that is about 1983
it's funny that the young are too young to know what old is.

Says who!A 1990 vehicle, especially a Mitsubishi, is just another POS late for its appointment with the crusher, no matter what it is. The sooner it fails the WOF smoke test and gets chucked off the road the better,newishcrapper is a better term as opposed to oldschool.So I wonder how old this "old guy" who was driving this Cyborg was, 36!

hahaha nah he was proper old. like 70+
The point of this thread was the rarity of the model of car not the age, i know its not that old.

Yes they made a Mirage cyborg sedan and 3dr hatch, both available in either FWD or 4WD and either non-turbo or turbo. The liftback cyborg was badged as the Lancer GSR rather than a 'cyborg'.

not a box shape leone but perhaps the rounder 70s shape before it, and the brumby.

No it was badged as a cyborg which is why i was suprised.
And it wasn't a liftback it was a sedan.

Possibly, but you have to ask yourself, is it worthwhile investing money in a 20 y.o. Mitsi! A spare $10k for example is better invested in something that will grow in value, rather than depreciate.

You misread what I said entirely. YES there is a cyborg SEDAN, but it will be a MIRAGE. The only LANCER turbo of that shape will be the LIFTBACK, and NOT badged as a cyborg.

Mine's sat pretty steady in value over the last 5 years. I have been asked to sell it for over $1000 more than I paid for it over two years ago - surely that means that it is appreciating in value (or at least sitting steady) rather than depreciating.

Ah yes I see. Would you agree that its a rear sight on our roads today

Old school is carbys, manual choke, steel wheels and half price rego with owners well older than there cars.
