Mitsubishi did come out with a good looking hatch. Unfortunatly it never came to the states. There are plenty of people in other countries taking evo 1-3 rear ends and swapping them to make an AWD version.
They are damn good looking. Mitsubish Cyborgs
I just have the scummit... I love the hatch but I (and my girlfriend) wish it was newer.
I would deffinatly think about doing a swap in a honda hatch back. That way it would have the nice interior and modern look. Still... it is a honda....
