If you weren't aware that Evo Wagons existed in any form, don't worry: you aren't alone. Prior to now, I too would have assumed it's base-model Lancer up-conversion; however, that's far from the case...
Subverting expectations: from movies, books, and pop culture, to music, news, and yes, even cars too, it's a key element of story telling and artistry. It's "the twist" that aims to keep anything and...

Opposites attract... Or so they say, and it seems to make a bit of sense when following Logan Ellis's lineage of car ownership. His enthusiasm for automobiles began stark in contrast to where it is t...
