ShockerGT Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 mitsu is bringing a lancer ralliart sportback. already out in europe and aus, many are saying it will come to US One of the guys on a local board I post on said he's friends with someone in Mitsu and that the hatchback wont make it stateside because Mitsubishi feels they wont sell them based on the poor success of the Lancer Ralliart wagon. Not to mention they are still struggling selling the new Lancer compared to what they expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's called a Tribeca. And its ugly. http://p.webwombat.com.au/motoring/images/subaru-tribeca-new-2-big.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenc544 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I have heard that the Ralliart is more of a Lancer GTS plus as oppose to Evo Lite. I had high hope for it when I first saw it but the '09 WRX wagon is pretty much the same thing with more power stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJS5689 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 The taillights look like a combination of the new Malibu and Volvo tails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edkwon Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Wait this is new? Haven't Nissan been making Stagea wagons since the original R32? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gire Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 The Stagea isn't new... but the GT-R mash-up in post #1 is new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edkwon Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 The Stagea isn't new... but the GT-R mash-up in post #1 is new. yah i know, i'm just playing semantics with the thread title. OP clearly isn't familiar with the history of Stagea wagons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apexjapan Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Bah. Stagea's weight about 8 tonne, the "hot" versions ride like a ricer honda, and it's got so much heft to lug around it will never feel quick. Plus the turbo version I drove had a off-on switch for the throttle. I won't even get into gas mileage... There is a reason Nissan hasn't made any push overseas with those things.
