Some pictures:Japanese automaker Mitsubishi will produce its a five-door hatchback version of its 2008 Lancer, based on the Lancer Sportback concept car, shown nearly two years ago at the Frankfurt auto show.
The company confirmed plans to produce the car in an announcement this week detailing the launch of the new Lancer sedan.
"With its coupe-like profile — modelled upon the exciting 2005 Frankfurt concept car of the same name — it will specifically target hatchback-minded European customers," the company said.
The hatchback will follow shortly after the new Lancer Sedan and Lancer Evolution arrive at dealers. It will likely be sold as a 2009 model.
Expect the car's overall shape to be similar to the concept (pictured), with a face and taillights very similar the production Lancer sedan.

January 26th, 2008 04:15 PM #10So is this is a "sportback" or "sport wagon" version of the Lancer/Galant Fortis, like the A3 and older Imprezas?
The sedan still looks better resolved as a design, I think. But this isn't so bad.

January 28th, 2008 11:07 PM #11The previous gen Sportback was a wagon, this time as you can see from Mitsubishi's renderings, its a sporty 5-door hatchback like the Focus hatchback and new Impreza hatchback. Originally Posted by Type 100
