Generation evolution and U.S. introduction

Mitsubishi produced five generations of the Mirage (the Lancer’s counterpart) up until 2003, with new generations released in 1983 and 1987, while the Lancer’s own timeline runs from 1988 to 2017. The sixth generation of the Lancer was finally made available in the United States in 2001, replacing the existing Mirage.
