Dude if they release another sports saloon I'm gonna ****.
I was so crushed when I found out the Evo namesake was going to be used for their ugly new crossover. Oh what I would do to see the Evo come back in it's former glory! Even if they just released an updated Evo X I'd probably buy it.

Honestly hope if the do bring it back it has some form of electrical motor usage. IMO that is the way of the future for sports cars...too many great benefits to it.

Maybe the electric motor can be hacked to reduce turbo lag like on a McClaren? Mitsubishi really does not have a good idea of what North America wants. It sounds like it will be a long car. WRC needs to change their rules.

Is that a concept photo Mitsubishi released? Those sides won't make it into production. Doesn't look too bad though. I hope they have a light version.

Someone posted this here in Evo M taken from a Japanese Magazine and I just googled a better image of it. I really like this rendition of the Evo and youre probably right that the side wont make it into production if it ever goes back in production.

I still say the new Evo will be closer to this:

It continues to keep the style of the newer vehicles Mitsubishi has produced lately and was given to Gran Turismo a couple years ago as a concept vehicle.

They need a new Lancer period. I think it was stupid for them to abandon the compact market when all the other Japanese and Korean competitors still make them.

The Evolution badge is not unique to the Lancer and Mitsu can and will put it on whatever they feel like. Just because we call it the "Evo" doesn't mean it's married to the Lancer model. See: Pajero Evolution.

No, it is not official. It's a fan-made rendering from several years back.

Well, there will likely not be another Lancer Evo without a base Lancer line. The idea being they will sell more base Lancers with an Evo-badged Lancer in play. I doubt Mitsu ever made much money selling the Lancer Evo, but sold a **** load of base Lancers because the former existed.

I doubt it will look anything like that. It will be on the Renault Megane chassis, plausibly, so will likely look more like this than anything else we've seen:
