Mistubishi Lancer Sportback

Post by Robert G »

Mitsu's new sportback looks a lot like the Vibe in front. The back side looks too squareback for my taste. http://www.autoweek.com/cat_content.mv? ... e=07468428

Yikes! If I hadn't seen it in the article, I'd have thought someone photoshopped the front of a Vibe onto one of the old Volvo wagons. The front does look scarily Vibe-ish, but the back looks a little out of place. I guess I'll have to see one in person.

I actually think it is pretty good looking. I've always liked the "square back" look of wagons. I just hope they offer it with a manual transmission.

ick. don't like the squareness to it. kind of reminds me of a focus in the front and an older volvo in the back.
