just saw that pdf file...wow, 3462 lbs...and looking at the cargo capacities, it seems like the seats dont fold
edit: just checked the mitsu website, the cargo dimensions dont even match for the regular lancer...hmmm

Also, I won't be surprised if the cargo volume is slightly less than the FWD lancers. I've seen the same thing happen on other cars that have both FWD and AWD models. They usually have to raise the cargo floor to accommodate the extra drivetrain bits in the rear.

What makes you think the seats don't fold?

The Evo X has its battery located in the trunk for better weight distribution. I'm pretty sure the engine bay pic of the officially released 09 RA photos shows the battery up front under the intake.. so those guys were just saying how the RA should have more trunk space than the Evo X (battery) but less than the base Lancers (AWD parts).

That's good to know -- the main reason the Evo X seats don't fold is that the battery is right behind them (and apparently also the windshield washer fluid -- at least in the Canadian model I saw -- bizarre). Makes it a lot more likely that the Ralliart seats will fold... anyone notice where the windshield washer fluid was in the RA?
Also, in regards to the rear-folding seats: it's not because the Evo has the battery in the trunk there -- it's because of the AYC control unit that's tucked directly all along the back of those seats.

The windshield washer fluid reservior looks like it's tucked away behind/underneath the passenger side headlight unit.

Anyone know where they mount the audio package subwoofer?
