A few weeks ago, Mitsubishi released the VIN codes for their 2004 model year. You can view them at:
http://www.mitsubishicars.com/pdf/04VINs.pdf

If one does a PDF search of that page for "Ralliart," the blank line below the "J4 = Lancer *" is highlighted. Weird. It turns out that "J6 = Lancer Ralliart" is invisible. Presumably, this is the base Lancer with the Ralliart aerokit.

 

If you copy and paste that section... heres what ya get

J3 = Lancer LS *
J4 = Lancer *
J6 = Lancer Ralliart
W5 = Montero Limited
X3 = Outlander LS (FWD)
X4 = Outlander LS (FWD)
FWD = Front Wheel Drive

 

The blank spot under the Eclipse GT yields this

C4 = Eclipse GS
C7 = Eclipse GTS
C8 = Eclipse GT
D2 = Lancer Wagon
D6 = Lancer Wagon
4 = 3–door hatchback (Eclipse)
5 = 2–door convertible (Eclipse Spyder)
6 = 4–door sedan (Lancer, Galant)
7 = 4–door pillared hardtop (Diamante)
MPV
N4 = Endeavor Limited F4WD
P5 = Diamante ES
P6 = Diamante LS
P8 = Diamante VR–X
S2 = Montero Sport LS, ES (RWD)




A Lancer wagon??

 

AutoXer, you're sharp. I didn't notice all the other "invisible" stuff on that page.

 

it's the Lancer Sportback wagon.
confirmed some time ago.
its even on their website. on their "performance cars" page or whatever they call it.
it'll have the same performance specs as the ralliart. looks like a cross between a lancer and volvo i think.

 

I have seen pics of the Lancer wagon. Check the Japanese Mitsu site. I think that is where I saw the pics.

 

I think they call it the Cedia wagon or something like that on the mitsubishi japan website..
