Yes, how fast was that van going? The damage to your car is seriously persuading me to unload both my Lancers.

What is the Evo's safety rating anyway? I know the WRX/STi has a 5 star... after seeing these pics I am wondering about the Evo!

Ouch, at least you can probably buy the car for cheap from wherever they wreck it and part it out. After *** money your life might be a bit nicer! Hope you are well now and in the future!

You can also check out this crash video, pick the Lancer and it shows the crash videos. It rated good for front, but poor (lowest) for side impact.
