Saw two lancer cedias while waiting for the bus in the morning. (My bus stop seems to be a hot spot - saw the porche carrera here twice

)
One was the regular version, it was cherry red and looked ok from the front. But the rear end was a huge let down. It looked sort of drooping...
The other was a sports version (sfxi or slxi) i guess. It was lemon yello, was running alloys and was looking a bit better than the cherry red one.
Frankly, I am not sure if the cedia can pose a threat to the civic. I sure miss the tail of the OHC and the old lancer. Why do the car makers insist on making the tail ends of the car so bland and sore???
