Default Mitsubaru Lancereza Sportback


http://www.netcarshow.com/mitsubishi...cer_sportback/

100hp and 140hp doesn't sound good at all, but at least the Ralliart version gets 240hp.

But why? Why bother with the hatchback and... the Audi grille?

i personally like the look...i guess its supposed to be a 'slightly more practical evo' ?, i hope they dont try to kill off the proper evo sedan to enter the hot hatch market with this thing though, like what subaru did.

I think it's a neat idea. Now both the Subie and Lancer have both sedan and hatch forms. With the current models, I'd take the Mitsubishi over the WRX as a hatch or sedan.

^Nnnnnnnnnnnmeh. I'd get neither, but I'd probably be happier knowing that at least Subaru's using its technology to win something in a rally series, unlike Mitsubishi, who's given up all hope since, what, 2004?

It actually looks better than the Impreza. I wouldn't mind having either car. Both are great cars if you get the appropriate engines.

I kind of like the styling. I'd drop the Audi grille, but keep the TypeR inspired rear. It only needs the triangle tail pipes!
It looks like Mitsu design team were not very imaginative this time and just did cut & paste...
