When it comes to popular small sedans Lancer has established its credentials over many years. June saw Lancer sedan record its highest ever all time sales, while it was the second best month ever for total Lancer sales. This great result was driven by Mitsubishi's $19,990 drive-away offer on the Lancer ES sedan.

However, the company's light commercial vehicles were the real star performers.

June was the company's best overall Light Commercial sales for 10 years, and the 3rd best performance in the company's history.

Individually, Triton stepped up to record the second best total sales (combined 2WD and 4WD) in history, while the 2WD Triton range recorded its best ever sales result.

The ever-popular SJ Express Van recorded its best sales for five years, while the acclaimed Pajero - with its five-speed sequential style automatic transmission, 'Super Select' drive train, and fully independent suspension - recorded its best monthly sales for 10 years, and the third highest monthly sales in history.

Mitsubishi's President and CEO, Tom Phillips, said that the sales were extremely pleasing, and were a clear signal of confidence from consumers.

"We have good merchandising, good offers, and sufficient stock to satisfy consumer's demands, so everything came together well.

"However, the really positive side to the June sales result is that Australian consumers have supported our products, and that gives us the perfect platform from which to launch our new Grandis, Lancer Evolution VIII, Magna VR-X AWD 'QuadTec', Colt and Lancer wagon this year," Mr. Phillips said.
