nah i didn't take pics of the rear but the car is sick, if they do start at like $25,000 im gonna get 1 before the end of the yr and finally giveup on my 92 talon tsi, I've been waiting for an automatic evo been to lazy to learn how to drive a sick and wouldn't wanna drive a stick in jersey.

nice write up, i hope they use the blacked out tails instead of the boring gts tails. weird that theres no rear folding seats, even the current RA has em, but i guess its cheaper to use the evo seats to match instead of making ones specifically for the RA.

I saw one at the dealer. I think you could fit a grocery bag in there . . . maybe two. Sportback FTW!

They look great blacked out, and it's definitely a good match for the orange, and probably would be for black too, but maybe not with blue -- hope the blacked-out taillights make it to Canada, where Mitsubishi's HID headlights are probably not street-legal enough to make it on to the Ralliarts for sale here (I'm guessing that they might decide that the blacked out taillights only go with the HID headlights).

Yeah -- doesn't look as bad as I thought it would (note that this blue is a bit more blue than the one that Mitsubishi has pictured for the 2009 Lancer GTS on their Canadian site: build one at mitsubishi-motors.ca/Lancer/Landing.aspx and choose Octane Blue, of course):
