2010 Lancer Ralliart Sportback - Late Summer "09"
Looks like late Summer 2009 (August maybe?) for the US dealers to have the first Ralliart Sportbacks hitting the lots. I will be putting down a deposit to hold one once the dealers get the nod with official pricing and ordering info.
If anyone gets any updated news on release dates keep us informed....Thanks!

These ralliart lancer sportbacks are already out in australia i think..pretty sure.
Just one thing, see it in real life first. Sure it looks all great in that clip there, but when u see it in real life its a different story. imo, the sportback design doesnt really work well with the lancer. Do yourself a favor and see it in real life. then decide if u wanna put ur money on that car.

Yes I agree "Lancer HTA". If I do not like the vehicle and the test drive I will not pull the trigger. I ALWAYS make the dealers sign a legal binding doc to confirm I have right of refusal AFTER seeing the vehicle and taking a test drive. I was ready to buy a new 2009 WRX, but I just can't get over the exterior looks.....it is somewhat OK, but I am just not too excited about it.
The Sportback will be perfect for my daily driver, just enough performance to have some fun and the utility of a hatch and 4 doors.......The Ralliart "Sportback" had me at HELLO......LOL! 
Also, the Ralliart "Sportback" will be a VERY UNIQUE low production vehicle, so that aspect is very appealing to me......there wont be one on every corner.

Hey, at least you will see my Ralliart Sportback "hatch" through your front windshield for a second or two.... 
JK......LOL! 
I do agree it looks somewhat odd....but I kind of like that.....like the previous generation SAAB 9-3/900 set up.
