I'd have to say i'm a wagon guy! wagons rock my world. Audi RS4, Volvo V70R (which i had ) any of the merc or bmw wagons are great too. I did know that mitsu has one it's actualy in the evo wiki. I however have never seen one in canada or the states for that matter. I have been keeping a close eye out for a lightly used 04-07 lancer wagon for a daily driver. My volvo (gearld) was a 2004 V70R 2.5L high presure turbo.. supposed to get 300hp 295 ftlb tq But having found out after the fact that 0 schedualed maintenance had been done. as well as volvo saying it was covered under volvo warrenty. after 10000 spent on maintence for a used car in 6 months i was hating life! and i Honestly miss the car. If Gerald was the same colour with the atamatica(spelling probbaly wrong) interior with 6spd manual id have kept the car and sucked it up.. but i purchased it used with the colour i wanted on the outside (titanium grey) with tan interior (most comfy seats ever!) but tragicly it had the Auto Tragic tranny. I had an intake + RICA stage 1.5 tune but kept having boost issues which the dealer could never seem to fix. then the mechanic obviously by mistake asked when i was getting my 96,000km service.. as well as saying my center diff may need work soon. i was like.......... UMM WHAT**** I bought the car @ 108,000km and you guys said all the maintenace was done? This is after my 02 sensors started going bad. I then blew up; even kicked a garbage can in the show room LOL the manager came flyying out! and said what is the problem.. lol needless to say they bought the car back for what i owed on my loan. less the 10k i put in to the car in maintence and payments i put in to the car over 6 months. Only way i get another V70R again is if i know it's history and given a smoking deal as well as ... well i wont go there.. thats not pg rated.. but the owners wife would be dishing out some favors.
Dumb question, but, were the wagons only available in righthand drive configuration? Or were they available as lefthand drivers as well?
Nice looking car, BTW. Nasty wagon. I like it.

No such thing as a dumb question mate. RHD only, they were only released as JDM models. So any outside of Japan have been bought through exporters. Mine was bought new and exported straight away in 2005 with 52 kilometers on the clock. So it was new in New Zealand but still a JDM car.
