The Lancer Evolution Wagon Was Japan's Middle Finger to Regulations—Now You Can Actually Own One
"Japan spent decades building the cars America banned, and now that we can finally have them, we're pretending they don't exist. Classic."
— Revvly Take
Mitsubishi's twin-turbo V6 sport wagon never made it stateside, but 25-year import rules have finally cracked the door open. These aren't theoretical anymore—clean examples are filtering into the market, and values are still stupid cheap compared to what they'll be in three years. The real question isn't whether you can import one. It's whether you can find one that hasn't been thrashed.
