Looks very nice.  The tailights, however, are literally grafted from some European Wagon I remember seeing...Here is the full article:

Could this be the ultimate in practicality and performance? Spotted on test in Japan, it's Mitsubishi's soon-to-be-launched Evolution IX Estate - and Auto Express's spy photographers got the first-ever pictures.
Making a surprise debut on a wet Tsukuba race track near Tokyo, ahead of its unveiling next month, the newcomer completed three fast laps before disappearing from view. Sources said the car was undergoing its final phases of testing and running back-to-back with the saloon to establish a series of quick lap times for comparison.

At the end of the day, Mitsubishi's research and development test team declared the results were far closer than expected. Originally, they'd anticipated the estate's extra 100kg bulk would add at least two seconds' time difference around the two-kilometre track. But the gap was less than one second. According to a spokesman, the carrier's rear end actually improved its weight distribution, which gave better traction than the saloon.

Just 2,500 Evo IX Estates are to be made, and the car will only be available here as a grey import priced from around ?20,000. It shares the same chassis, six-speed manual gearbox and 2.0-litre turbocharged engine as the saloon. Expect a 0-60mph sprint time of around five-and-a-half seconds.

I assume the same as the sedan variant.

One would think it would be the same...i was just curious  B)  

[Raza]

Ugh..I like wagons, but this looks like they stuck Colonel Cadillac's 850 back end on an
Evo.  Not good at all.



That's a good looking wagon.

[giant_mtb]

Looks like crap.  The WRX wagon is so much better...

What the hell is with the tail lights?    :blink:  <_<  

[Raghavan]

What he said.

The taillights are the same ones on the regular Lancer Sportback:


That said, I still agree that it doesn't look too pretty.

I am almost positive I saw almost identical taillights on some Renault or Peugeot...I'll try to find a picture.

It's not a Renault or Peugeot, but it may be what you're thinking of.    

[BMWDave]

Nope, thats not what I am thinking of.  I have to find a pic.

[BMWDave]

That may be what I am thinking of, I dont think so though.  

[ifcar]

Whatever you have, my pic is closer. I've got the taillights and the rear windshield and windows.

Perhaps this car is it:

It doesn't look anything like those three words. <_<

No it's not.

This Evo wagon looks spectacular. Way the hell better than anything Subaru's ever made.

Too bad Mistubishi doesn't even sell the Evo sedan in Canada.  :blink:
