I showed it to my wife... and she actually liked it for some reason. I guess it's a chick thing. I like wagons and hatches (I've owned the BMW M Coupe and prefer the WRX wagon), but that version doesn't quite do it for me. The sportback concept did do it for me though. Make that one Mitsu!

 

checking out the pictures for a second time, it actually looks like a lowered Lexus RX. maybe thats why your wife loves it.

On a side note, did anyone else notice how the front bumper was that of the lancer Ralliart? maybe this model will only be the Ralliart, and not come out for the X.

 

You're correct. All the press articles say it would use the RalliArt motor.

 

its like the new matrix meets lexus IS hatch haha
i mean the wagons weren't exactly the crowd favorite so what else is new =P

 

Ya think?

If I hadn't already seen this in the Ralliart portion of these very boards while looking around yesterday, then it still wouldn't have taken until I got to the engine specs to see that it will be a Ralliart...the tire size, in the paragraph before the engine stuff, is just too small for an Evo.

 

man...the front looks like a base lancer and the back..




maybe they trying to go the luxury suv look =]

 

I think it would great if you got rid of the rear doors and a couple feet of length. Call it an X-SW (short wheelbase).

 

yes, this is notthing more than a concept of European version of the Ralliart Lancer, NOT EVO X, except that it will be a 5-door hatchack over there, period,

 

i dont think it looks that bad. Maybe they will get back into rally and use this as a platform?

 

i don't think its horrible, but won't see me in one.
