The 2013 Mitsubishi Lancer is a Top Pick for Overall Value by the USAA

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. - May 3, 2013 - PRLog -- Hilton Head Mitsubishi is proud to represent an automaker that consistently produces vehicles that provide great performance and great value, and they’re proud to provide Mitsubishi vehicles to drivers near Savannah and Beaufort. Mitsubishi’s star is rising even further, as Mitsubishi is recording strong profits while the 2013 Lancer has earned recognition from the United Services Automobile Association (USAA).

The 2013 Mitsubishi Lancer has been named a top pick for overall value by the USAA, a leading provider of financial services for the U.S. military community and its members’ families. The “Best Value” list evaluates the cost of vehicles, their safety, reliability, and other criteria using quantitative data. The idea, according to Steve Thompson, vice president responsible for the USAA Car Buying Service, “is to give members an easier way to determine value as they shop for vehicles.” He added that safety standards have become much more important in this year’s list, with vehicles named on it required to achieve the designation of Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). “The 2013 Mitsubishi Lancer,” said Mr. Thompson, “rose to the top in its category for offering the best overall value.”

The 2013 Mitsubishi Lancer offers striking styling, agile handling, and powerful engine options; and with a base MSRP of just $15,995, its value is apparent right away. This small sedan is available in six trim levels — DE, ES, SE, GT, Ralliart, and the high-performance Evolution — giving drivers plenty of choices.

The profits of Mitsubishi Motors Corp for the financial year ended March 31 at almost triple what the automaker had forecast in February, coming in at 382.5 million. This represents 58.8% increase from March 2012. This will surely enable the automaker to continue to create vehicles the provide excellent performance and represent phenomenal value.
