I guess no more staggering price discounts (as much as 95k for the GLX variant) for the Lancer EX next year ?

What does this mean for EX owners? Higher maintenance parts? Sayang, kung kelan pa naman gumaganda ang sales ng Lancer.

i read that they will get their lancers from japan afterward...

i wonder how pricing will be affected?

I remember nung nabaha yung planta ng Honda sa Thailand. CBU Japan yung Jazz na dinala dito. Mas maganda yung specs, but with corresponding price increase.

Hindi kaya gradual phaseout na ito ng Lancer worldwide, since balita ko the Evo X will be the last of its kind?

Well the Lancer has poor sales naman e overall in the local market and PHL made Lancers are sold just here and are not for export. So I think its just a simple business decision of lack of "economies of scale"...

^^^ Still not viable. Lack of government incentives, cheaper to produce in Thailand or Indonesia.

I fail to comprehend why this would mean higher maintenance costs? We still have the 97 Lancer (Pizza Pie) and there are no scarcity of parts. Toyota and Mitsubishi spare parts are always available outside CASA. The only part we were forced to source at CASA was the filter for AT fluid for my Lancer but that's about it and I don't expect to buy another AT fluid filter as you only need to replace AT fluid filter only once in a car's lifetime and more modern cars nowadays don't even need AT fluid replacement anymore as they claim it's already good for the car's lifetime w/c is why no need for dipstick for AT fluids anymore.

Noone buys the Lancer EX nowadays anyway.

Haven't seen a new one on the road sporting W-series plates (last of the Rizal series), much less the new LTO plates.
