2004 Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback Road Test

When I first set eyes on the Lancer Sportback it was in New York, at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in Manhattan, during the city's annual auto show last April. I wasn't actually crouched down, camera in hand on the front row, to see the little wagon. Instead I was trying to get a shot of the new Galant and Diamante sedans that were about to be unveiled. What a nice surprise.
