CAIRO, Sept 10 (SEE) - Diamond Motors Egypt, the exclusive agent of Mitsubishi Motors in Egypt, said reservation of Lancer model of Mitsubishi was suspended, a source at the company said on Monday.

In statements to Egypt Automotive, the source ruled out that Mitsubishi Attrage is an alternative for Lancer.

"Diamond Motors will focus on the sports car with multiple purposes and crossover cars (SUV)," the source noted, adding that the company has already offered two new models namely Xpander and Eclipse Cross.

Mitsubishi Motors started manufacturing the first generation of Lancer model in 1973, as the company earned much from selling the model, named by "Crystala" in Egypt in the 90s.

While the model's last generation was produced since 2007. The Japanese company will suspend the model's production beginning from 2019, which means that 2018 is the last year for the Mitsubishi Lancer.
