The Twin-Turbocharged V6 Mitsubishi Sport Wagon Was Forbidden Fruit, But Not Anymore

The Lancer Evolution Wagon Was Japan's Middle Finger to Regulations—Now You Can Actually Own One

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.

Japan spent decades building the cars America banned, and now that we can finally have them, we're pretending they don't exist. Classic.

11k-Kilometer 1997 Mitsubishi Minicab Pickup 4WD 5-Speed at No Reserve

11k-km 1997 Mitsubishi Minicab 4WD: The Kei Truck That Shouldn't Exist Stateside

This is a right-hand-drive cab-over Kei pickup with a 657cc three-cylinder, five-speed manual, and selectable 4WD—basically everything the chicken tax was designed to keep out of America. It's clean, low-mileage, and hits the auction block at no reserve. The fact that these are now importable is either a loophole or a miracle depending on your perspective.

Kei trucks are finally getting their due as actual utility vehicles, not just novelty imports. This one's the real deal—tiny, purposeful, no marketing department required.

Original-Owner 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX MR

Original-Owner 2006 Lancer Evolution IX MR: The One That Stayed Put

A single-owner Evo IX MR is increasingly rare—most were either modded into oblivion or left to rust in climates that don't care. This Minnesota example carries the turbocharged 4G63 engine and six-speed manual in stock trim, the kind of restraint that's become the opposite of what Evo owners actually do with them.

Evo IX prices have quietly doubled in five years. Find a clean, unmolested example now, because the next owner won't be as gentle.

I did the longest motorcycle road trip of my life on my Honda CB350 RS!

CB350 RS isn't a bike for conquering—it's for understanding what you actually need

The CB350 RS has quietly become the thinking person's retro, and this long-distance run proves why. Modern enough to be reliable, analog enough to demand your attention, and cheap enough that you're not financing someone else's lifestyle. Turns out the real adventure isn't the miles—it's realizing a 350cc parallel-twin that weighs nothing teaches you more about riding than any liter bike ever could.

The CB350 RS is doing what retros are supposed to do: make you question why anyone needs more. Values staying flat because it's not about the spec sheet.
