Looking to replace my daily driver.

Ralliart Lancer... if it turns out to be a nimbler WRX substitute, I'd be up for that.
Yet... I just dig the Subaru flat 4's resonant rumble. Tough choice.

Personally, I wish the Legacy GT was more reasonable priced.

I'd love to see their (Mitsu) big sadan with AWD and 350HP Turbo 3.8 V6....ohhhh mama.

I'm waiting to see more Camaro, Evo X, and maybe a GM RWD Sports sedan.

Something tells me that this is the best angle to view the car and not say "Wow, that thing has a HUGE butt." Despite the attempt, I can't help myself.

My god, that thing's butt is HUGE!!

Sorry if I didn't get the joke, my funny radar for internet chat is busted....lol.

I say that cause, the Skyline is a 2 door and tight in the back....right...??

About the GM RWD Sports Sedan, go check out the Camaro thread...

Here's some interior shots posted over on the Evo boards. I know the Lancer is a budget sedan, but this is depressing. The vents look like something off a 30 year old truck, the huge space under the 3 dials in the center dash is tacky as hell, and the rest of it is generally uninspired and dated. I hope I'm not asking too much that the Evo steps it up in a really big way.

Front looks similar to the ugly Eclipse...and the rear just looks horrible. Bleh. This exterior is a downgrade from the previous MY

The interior is not so bad, yeah...not very sexy but I've seen worse. One thing, with the front seats pushed so far back it looks like it has ALOT of interior space. It's amazing how much space that little car has inside.

And keep in mind this is probably the base lancer interior, I'm sure they will jazz it up for the ralliart and evo.

Only 3 weeks until we find out.

Mitsu is doomed. This car is not nearly good enough to pull in the sales numbers they need.
