Jealous of the JDM Sportback

I know this isn't a Ralliart, but as a Ralliart owner, I was surprised that this Sportback even existed:







Talk about a stripper!

Still wanting and drooling over these JDM bumpers though:

that car is approaching Pontiac Aztek ugliness levels. it looks like they glued a volvo v70 wagon onto a lancer front clip. the interior is nice though.

It's such a shame that the sportback wasn't given a fair chance. Now more than ever I wish I had gotten one, I need more interior room.

BTW sP33Dy, even find out how much those MIVEC badges are from the dealer in AUS?
