i think they are spec dependant, the Evo might be badged as such, but the other versions would possibly be re-badged as a Dodge

Dodge eclipse/talon springs to mind

The 2004 Mitsi Evo made it there as just that so i would assume a 97 one may have.

the Evo is badged as an Evo as they are imported from Japan assembled, the base model Lancer is (i believe, ) manufactured in the US and is rebadged as a Dodge or a Chrysler.
