Well I thought it resimbled the Mazda 6 or the Mitsubishi Diamante. That's why I am not to hot for it.

As with the previous EVOs, it's going to have to grow on me. I do like the front end though. Kind of looks like it's snarling at you.

Headlights, taillights, interior WILL change. I hope they don't really try to come ANY closer to the fugly Audi/VW blacked out center front ... otherwise ...

Mitsu needs to learn when to stop models and make up new ones. Like the 3g eclipse should have been renamed. I think they should have continued perfecting the same bodystyle on the evo and made it even better. Now they are going to have different problems to work out. Dumbasses! They should let me be in charge!

I really like the car... I understand that the right hand drive showed in the pics won't come to the states.... the only thing I didn't like is the shifter... other than that, Ben Likey!!!! Ben want one!!!

I think it looks pretty nice but I would rather take half of what it would cost and put into my car.

The body looks way to much like the new galants and the tail lights make me want to vomit.

I would have to agree with Kris. The only other thing i like besides the seats are the front head lights. But the evo 8 is sooooo much better!!!!! I even like the concept eclipse gsx better than this thing.
-------------------- Up and running. For now at least.

I like it for the most part. I think it will be more refined for production... at least I hope so because your not going to squeeze my 295lb butt into those seats. I imagine they will because I read somewhere that they purposely widened the US spec seats for the US market on the EVO VIII and IX.
Also has anyone heard any more about how mitsu plans to get more linier power from the 2.0 liter? |

from the 10/24 Autoweek's excellent article w/pics:
... will be with us in early 2007 as an '07 model ... new four-cylinder turbo ... routed into Mitsubishi's next-generation all-wheel-drive technology ... expect the next-generation MIVEC to feature in the turbocharged alloy 2.0-liter four-cylinder that Mitsubishi says will produce in the region of 300 hp and offer instant response at all engine speeds thanks to a flat torque curve ... powerplant will mate to a clutchless six-speed auto/manual transmission, reportedly able to swap cogs at the blink of an eye, slicker and more efficient than any manual ... steering wheel-mounted paddles ... [S-AWC (Super All Wheel Control)] integrates with the existing 4wd three-differential and Super Active Yaw Control layout found on the Evo IX, adding active brake control, active steering control and roll-control suspension into the equation ... will stick with the Brembo braking system, but expect new multi-piston calpers all around and larger diameter rotors ... ... strategic weight reduction ... lower the center of gravity ... chassis stiffening ... MacPherson struts up front and a multilink arrangement at the rear ... more highway poise ... [interior design/material improvements] ... advanced multimedia system, centered on a dash-mounted pop-out high-resolution LCD screen ... real-time readings from various engine sensors and up-to-date operating status of the S-AWC. Both navigation and DVD audio controls will be accessible through the screen ... ... the body will also serve as the basis for Ralliart's next-generation WRC contender ... -------------------- ... she likes bein' forced ...

That's not the article written by Dino Carbonare is it? Right now it's a bunch of hype... I seriously doubt that model will come out in 2007 just because they need to have enough time to milk the EVO IX for all it is. Most manufacturers don't run a generational auto line for only one year unless it's complete junk.

Although if Mitsu does I can't blame them because for the most part the EVO IX is nothing more than a rebadged EVO VIII with a few minor extras. I went to the dealership and looked at one and I'm not impressed in the slightest.
