Don't know what it means precisely, but if you head on over to fueleconcomy.gov, which is the EPA's official fuel efficiency database for US cars you'll find a listing for the "Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback." Sounds like this hatch may arrive in the US if this is any indication. http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/compx200 ... d=Findacar Personally, I think it's a great looking car. Reminds me of the old VW Scirocco's. Nice lines.
wow i thought that the sportback was going to be only for europe but its good to see that we're getting it as well.
