Who knows, probably destroyed. The car at the Milwaukee show had obviously been at another show... someone tired to pry the Lancer Evolution logo off the back, but only managed to break the N off of it.

No, I specifically looked for this. There is no way to fold down the rear seats or behind the armrest. There is something that looks like a panel in the trunk though, which may be access to the rear support bar.

This may sound like a dumb question, but do the seats have height adjustability? My wife was nagging about that b/c she's only 5'3" or so...

I'll be in the market for a new car next year... We're buying a new house this year!

No, there was not a height adjustment that I saw.

I'm about 6' and 280lbs. I think someone who is smaller would still feel secure due to how the back of the seat is contoured and how sticky the fabric feels.

fireball, Off topic but i'm having a debate on production # of evos and i was wondering if you could confirm the manufacture limit of 5000 unit at the factory? I think someone on this forum claims this and i know you have a great source.

DO you know if it comes with aluminum pedals?

I've heard so many numbers over the past couple months. The latest and greatest numbers I've heard is 4500-5000 units. That's it folks.

The one I sat in does not have aluminum pedals. They're one of those aftermarket factory accessories... I'm definitely getting them in mine.
