Hi All,
I've been a silent viewer of this forum for a month now. I was after the Ralliart and wanted to grab as much info as I could. This has been an awsome knoweldgebase.
As for me, I haven't decided on a Profile photo as my car hasn't arrived yet. Yes, I have ordered a 2009 Ralliart MY10 Black Sedan with Leather+SatNav+Audio combo and expecting the delivery to be around 10th of December.
I am trading in my '06 Rav4 and everyone is like, why was I downgrading. I have never owned a performance car before and thought this would be a good start. I sure will be here on and off sharing my experience.
Cheers,
Fawad

Even without deciphering it like SAM did, how is going from a Rav4 to a Ralliart Lancer a downgrade? :S

Wow, the Ralliart owners are coming out of manholes at the moment. We've added so many in the last 3 months or so.......good to see. Welcome fawad......from one RA owner to a soon-to-be owner!!

Only a diehard Toyota fan would think its a downgrade, I work with some and I keep reminding them that Toyotas current equivalent to a Lancer is a 1.8L Corolla. No offence to any Toyota owners but they just dont make the cut at the moment.

Hey Sam!
You've very likely seen my car around, should catch up on the mini meet or cruise! I'll be happy to take you along to one if there's a mini meet before you take delivery of your RA

hell a used 08 ES lancer would still be an upgrade from a Rav 4, they are like a 4WD that isnt a 4WD. its the 4WD of people who dont know anything about 4WDing and got a crappy thing that just bogs itself constantly,
i know iv been 4WDing in a proper 4WD they where the most boged one every seen ever. lol

Ah okay! You got one ordered and waiting delivery?
Oh and Fawad welcome buddy!
I don't think a RAV4 compared to a Lancer is a downgrade or upgrade, rather more like a change in car type/class/role, than a graded-class.
