My new Sportback GTS!

Just went to the dealership and the wicked white just arrive! took some photo's and i'm just dying to drive it home!

My plans are to black out the front bumper and also the tail lights in the back. In a month or so I will be putting on an intake, maybe RRM or injen whenever it comes out!

I hope you enjoy this as much as i do!

I took them both down a very narrow path just the other day, and they both drive exactly the same. I can't say whether the sportback is heavier, only that its 500 bucks more

i was told not to replace the cat, i can get an aftermaket exhaust and the intake may void the warranty if it causes damage to it. The dealer didn't really want to get deep into explaining what would void it. That bastard just wanted me to sign the papers as quickly as possible.

I asked the dealer to send me an email what exactly i could do without voiding the warranty, so i can use this as back up once i do need to file a claim. Lets hope he's true to his word.

He has a GTS sportback, so it would follow that it looks like a GTS.

I imagine a Ralliart Sportback would look like a Railliart sedan in front. It wouldn't make any sense for them to stick an Evo front end on a lower trim level car just because its a hatch.

oh man thats harsh. I don't think it looks as bad as a taurus. Maybe because not many people own a Sportback makes me enjoy it so much more.

i really wanted to like it! (ive owned hatch backs and loved them!)

but in comparison to the normal GTS or lancer i think it looks too much like you are going to get some groceries and pick the kids up from the soccer game.

(i still need to see it in person though pics dont do it justice i am sure)

but thanks for sharing!
