On a recent business trip to New York one of my colleagues introduced me to his Evolution. I didn't know they were available in North America. You see I used to live in the United Kingdom.

I was wondering what dealership you all have been buying your Evolutions from?

What price did you pay?

What are the options?

Sorry man, you can only get the Evolutions in the States. Still not available here in Canada.

CND_Evo

Why can't you get them here? I thought they were available?

enjoku

It did not pass the Canadian bumper test.

Nope. Check the sticky's at the begining of the CDN forum. They don't pass the bumper test.

CND_Evo

So if it didn't pass the bumper test then what do you all own? Are you all just wishful thinkers?

enjoku

Regular Lancers in different models except the EVO

ES
OZ
Ralliart

What's a "regular lancer"?

I thought this was an Evolution site. That's what my colleague told me.

enjoku

Yeah but it has different sub headings for different Lancer trims

CND_Evo

That still doesn't answer my question.

Whats the difference?

So your basically all just driving around in little gutless cars that look like them? Kind of like the Ford Mustangs with 4 cylinders in the late 80's early 90's that resembled 5.0s?

enjoku

Not really. Have you driven one lately???

CND_Evo

Driven one what? An evolution yes. It was a real thrill. However 120 or even 160 horsepower is unbelievably shameful. That couldn't satisfy my appetite not even close. My current vehicles are a Z06 and a Porsche Cayenne for hauling the kids around.

enjoku

Cool for you. It might be shamefull but not everyone here can afford a Porche. Were quite happy with what we have.
