He was being COMPLETELY sarcastic 
. It couldn't have been more obvious if he'd said Lancer Evolution is just a code name for a new aircraft carrier being released to the public next year. For God sake, he even said he was kidding at the end
.
I've read in numerous magazines (take that for what it's worth) that it's to be a 2004 model. My invoice for my deposit says 2003, but I nearly believe freakin' magazines over dealers.

I also heard that the Lancer Evolution we are getting, unlike the JDM version, will have the turbo as an extra option and will only come in the color pink as Mary Kay is Mitsubishi's new sponsor for rally. Also, to balance the weight split of the car, the engine has been moved to the rear and the suspension will consist of the latest leaf spring technology. Rumor also has it that Ralliart will be making available their racing 4 barrel carb as an upgrade. 
It must be true as I get all my information from rumor, gossip, small children and a fish named Wanda. I will try and post photos soon.

It is a 2003 model. The Endeavor, when it is announced around the same time will be a 2004 model.

One question though, is Wanda certified to disclose such information? 
Seriously people...only a few days left before you get the FACTS...

The can still say "ALL 2003 models" all day long, its just that at the bottom of every ad it can say "excludes Evolution" or at the end of every radio ad when they start talking real fast they can say it too.
