Mitsubishi to show Lancer Sportback concept
To be shown at the 2008 Geneva Auto Show, and probably reserved only for the hatchback-loving European market, Mitsubishi is going to show a “concept” hatchack version of the new Lancer. Seen here are leaked early images.
The Sportback concept looks to be a near-production version, except for fancy lights and rims. This particular version has the Ralliart 2.0L turbo engine, packing 236 hp and 253 lb-ft.
It is probably intended as a direct competitor to the Subaru Impreza WRX, which recently lost its ass and became a hatchback.

Its a “copy cat” of STI, but its not a bad idea , since it will give the public a choice of the two evo hatchback and regular sedan. not the best looking hatchback though, too edgy and pointy
