I was at the Drag strip today, and got the puzzled "is that an EVO?" The guy was puzzled because I drive a Sportback, and he had never seen an EVO Wagon... I explained to him, and he was pretty cool about it. One of the reasons people moderately familiar with Mitsubishi's are confused is the previous generation Ralliart was a FWD non-turbo, and they haven't caught up to the 2009 / 2010 Ralliarts being AWD turbo yet.

3rd. i had a father and son admire my car at the wawa. they were asking me tons of questions about the car. (i guess to test my knowledge cuz im a girl) but they were shocked i knew my ****. the one guy says " oh i see u got a manual" i said no its an automatic. then they say " u sure?' i go " yup im sure u can check"
I think it's cause the way the shift knob looks. Everyone who looks at my knob thinks it's a manual and then I'm like, no serious, look at the wheel, see those paddles?

Just got my first one:
Went to Walmart for the first oil change this morning (had the oil and Mitsu filter with me). The tech guy was like: Holly man, the Lancer Evo Ralliart!!! ("Evo+Ralliart?"What was that) Then he went: What happened to the butt... I was like: Havn't u seen the Evo-Hatch? ... No fun for the waiting, it was ONE AND HALF hour just for the oil change. God knew where did they take my BABY to and what they had done to her. Finally I had the receipt and it says 2009 Lancer Dark Blue!? Okay, I knew it was dusk outside, but I do wish my Octane Blue was a bit deeper than it is... Anyway, they took my money but won't return the keyless key to me... So the manager yelled, give the god damn key back to customer LOL At the end, I thanked to them and pointed out again: It's 2010 RA Sportback Checked my ODO immediately, it had the same mileage on; glad they didn't take it to the track during that 1.5 hr LOL

That's kind of messed up. I wouldn't be taking the car back there!

Haven't gotten any comments on my Ralliart yet, but I see some people doing double takes when they see me driving by them.

It is even funnier when the person that does the double take is driving a BMW.
