Seen the EVO 8

Just flicked through the new issue of Best Car magazine. They had a 2 page spread on the new EVO 8. These were official pictures released by MMC so no bull****. The car looks pretty bad IMO. Much less agressive than the 7. Both the front and rear light cluster have an orange side indicator built into them....which frankly looks horrible.

The dark silver car in the picture had Enkei six spoke wheels, which look ok I suppose. The front bumper totally spoils the looks of the car...makes it look like a smiley face from some kind of cartoon character!! The rear lights look very similar to the GT-A ones, and if it wansnt fot the orange indicator they would look cool.

All in all a great dissapointment. The EVO cars in my opinion ended witht the E6 TME...from then on its been a downward spiral into pure ugliness! I'm sure it will drive as a true Evo and spank the new WRX STi's ****....but MMC will loose sales as I'm sure people don't want to drive around in butt-ugly cars! Sorry to be so harsh but that's my opinion

You live to far away for me to help you out with the scanning. Does the JDM version look like ours? What is the weight with the 6speed?
