^ your right on that my friend. I had a few turbo/awd talons back in the 90's and they were great. What you noted on the sportback is exactly what mitsu is after, the evo and turbo eclipse were niched to specific buyers and thats why they went to the new, non turbo eclipse back in 2002, to appeal to a more generalized market. Its a shame as they were a rival and the words 'evo' radiated from across the pond for several years before they actually brought it over..to see what it has become is a shame. Mitsu has no truck market (pickup or suv) and their car market is very lack luster...their primary profit now comes from non vehicle eletronics...they'll be the next to faulter no doubt about it.
