I see them everywhere in Japan and with a few body mods they look great.

I've test driven a couple and reckon they would be a seriously fun wagon to own.

Are they on the cards for compliance in Oz cause reckon they would be snapped up real quick.

gee that sucks.... ill have to get a sedan when i sell mt 37000km v spec 32 gtr then i guess

Some friends of mine in Japan are currently shopping for one, it'll eventually come back as a personal import, but aside from that there's no likelihood that they'll ever be eligible under SEVS, unfortunately.

Any reason why?? They look very nice, very sleeperish

Wasn't J-Spec trying to get one in a while back?? Also their website is down (due to malicious activity on their webserver)

If they were available I would have one...but since they aren't...i'm quite happy with my Stagea (that's until I saw Carizma selling a Manual C34 Stagea for 16k and began crying)

There are some pretty good kits going round and they can look anything from dads wagon to slicked out weapon.

They are bloody fun to drive.

Too similar to the normal Lancer wagon and the Evo 9, both sold here in full volume, to be considered a separate model rather than a variant. Only option is if someone personally imports one.

J-spec said "contact us if you would like to see it added to the sevs list"

I guess it can't be added.

Any update on this? I've been looking at auction and I would love to get one of these.

CT9W FTW!

No. Think of DoTaRS like death and taxes.

Dotars is worse than World War 2

you know some of the fellas from the DOTARS SEVS team are on the forum right?

No. Think of DoTaRS like death and taxes.

you cheat them once a year?

[Mr Eps]

shan, how can anybody be compared to world war 2 and take it seriously???

but no - i didn't know that, it's kinda cool!

[Blitz_boy]

OK thanks, I just wan't sure if anyone had tried to apply.

So to make me more learned, is it because it would be considered a variant of the Evo 9 not a different model?

Aren't all Evo's variants of local models?

[Blitz_boy]

FAIL.

I emailed the editor of PI, here's his response.

"Adrian, there was some talk a while ago that they might have been coming in, but in reality there is no chance of them being eligible. They are simply too similar to both the Lancer Wagon and Evo IX to be justified a separate model and thus eligible. It’s a pity, really, as they’re an awesome platform. How about a Legnum instead?

Regards,

Jason Round

Editor"

Next step, move to japan for a year and bring one back

[Iron Chef]

lol I saw your email

[Mr Eps]

hallo..

okay - blitzboy i GET that you want an evo wagon - and it's a bit of a smack across the face to be told "how about a legnum instead?" but that go tme thinking!

(not that that's a smack across the face - it's just that if you want a lanevo - YOU WANT A LANEVO!)

in my personal opinion the legnum is up there with late model soarers / chasers as far as "low priced, value for money" imports go right now..

the only problem with the legnum - is in today's climate, they look very dated... on the contrary though... i LOVE the rear end of the legnum... FAR more than the evo wagon!!!

i'l just come out and say this... get a legnum. it's a cheap blank canvas.

bring a front clip in of an Evo9. and convert the front end... they share the same chassis i beleive... i think this would be a natural progression for it!

plus - doesn't the evo9 have a better engine than the legnum anyway? better lift or something? you could sell your legnum engine off surely!

it would definitely be a very unique car i'd have one for sure!

[funkymonkey]

you'd also have a much bigger migraine from all the running around and a smaller bank balance.

the lancer wagon fails the silhouette test.

why not grab a Caldina wagon? It's almost the same form factor.

[Mr Eps]

i heard they go slow...

(that's just what i heard - for all i know they may whip teh pantz!!)

but based on my mate's celica GT-4 - i find his car is ridiculously slow...

that's coming from a guy with an RB20de+T (not very fast)
