Finally, some info being leaked on the Ralliart model. I prefer the rounded fenders of the regular model, it hints at the evo V and VI model styling. Hopefully it has just enough awd technology, and the weight is kept down on the already porky base model. I bet this car will msrp in the low twenties like the Mazdaspeed 3.

One thing that lingers in the back of my mind is with all this parts sharing, I hope the car doesn't become a theft magnet like the Civic SI.

 

On the rear, I wished they put those red reflectors on the bumper in the black area and not smack dab in the middle. Anyone know the wheelbase width difference between the GTS and EVO?

 

hard to tell since the lancer and evo look almost identical

 

Yeah.
Except for the hood, front bumper, front fenders, headlights, roof, rear doors, rear fenders, rear bumper, and spoiler. I mean it's practicaly the same car!



The body width difference between the GTS and Evo is reputed to be about 3 inches. Not sure how much of that translates into track width, but I'd wager most of it.

 

Damn now i have to wait longer b4 i upgrade. I hope it's definately goin to be AWD.

 

Security must have been poor for that guy to get those pics and be able to pull the tape back from the tape on the wheels without rousing suspicion.
