The Lancer Sportback is still a thing.

...and seriously, who did that website? That picture of the engine block heater looks like it was taken for eBay.

IKR... STis go for crazy prices around here and the dealers act like they are selling BMWs, no test driving, deposit for above MSRP or GTFO. I’m sure they would sold quite a few.

Must be a Canada thing, because all Mitsu sells down here is the various Outlanders and the Mirage.

They did make a RalliArt version. So more like a WRX-ish kinda thing.

I didn’t know the 996 turbo cabriolets were that rare. Drove one last weekend.

The Mitsubishi website still shows 2015 models some how. The whole company is circling the drain.

There was the Evo-lite Ralliart Sportback for a while. It had the older awd system from the Evo 9 instead of the 10, and its chassis was more like a needed up Lancer GTS than an Evo, but it was in fact an AWD turbo Lancer Sportback. And...it was only available with a DCT.

Ralliart version has the added + turbo engine, but supposedly squishy suspension

I think the Sportback was discontinued in the U.S. in 2013 or 2014 and was only available with the automatic and 1 or 2 trims in the last year.

Apparently Canada also still has the I-MiEV.
