Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX Wagon

August 13, 2005 at 5:08 am · Filed under Cars

Subaru has the WRX Wagon. Mitsubishi counters with the ultimate in practicality and performance - an Evolution Wagon! Speed demon wagons have been around for quite some time in the Mitsubishi stable. I remember there was this Mitsubishi Libero GSR wagon which had a GSR 4G93 1.8 turbocharged engine in it.

Only 2500 units of the Evo IX Wagon (or Evo IX Estate as some countries call wagons) will be made and it will come with the same turbocharged Mivec 2 liter engine that comes in the sedan mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox. The wagon is based on the same chassis but is 100kg heavier.

    i feel funny,

    why drive a sport car wagon ?!

    If I want a sport car, I will just go for the normal saloon evoXI… not a wagon.

    well…. someone will buy.

    Estate/Wagon variants are quite popular here in Europe .. the target market for EVO Wagon will be the European market no doubt…!

    actually i would say if they made it look better it be a hit in the states here. alot of guys have the wrx wagons love wagons more than the sedans, and there more out there than you think out running sedans. i know a guy who would buy one if it didnt look like a volvo with mitsu frontend.
