Looks good, though I don't like the chrome surrounding the grille.

I must add, the extreme slope of the rear hatch doesn't seem to make it look any more practical than the sedan... "Of course, that's just my opinion. I could be wrong."

Concur...isn't the whole point of having a hatch so that you can fit some more stuff in it??
Looks great tho...

A hatch will still open up much larger than a trunk, regardless of the slope. If you fold the seats down, you can fit items in the back that would be impossible in a sedan, like bicycles.

I could fit a mountain bike in my old Camry with the rear seat folded down, so that's nothing special.But I understand your point. But it does seem quite a bit less practical than my 3s Hatch due to the slope.

they need to re-think the LED styling, but i like the shape of the car.Antitrust laws not only regulate and control the marketplace, they serve as bulwarks to protect democracy. And now that they are gone, now that we have a state that is run by and on behalf of corporations, we must expect inevitable and perhaps terrifying political consequences. If I go to church on Sunday and cabaret all day Monday, nobody's business if I do.

It looks horrible! To bad, 'cause I was really looking forward to it...! Looks like an uglier Focus (Europe). 95% of the Lancer sold here in Sweden will be hatchbacks, so I'll guess I might get used to the design...

It's just for the concept. The Evo X concept had the LED stuff too, but it's gone on the production model. "Of course, that's just my opinion. I could be wrong."
