Saw EVO on the truck today

I saw an blue EVO with high spoiler on the truck today in the Bayarea on highway 880, but the weird thing is that it was with other hondas. Is that anybody's car here?

Was it an Evo VII or the new Evo VIII body style? Did it have the Altezzas?

It was an EVO 8 (U.S version). The blue is pretty nice, like the S4 blue. Didn't see it from the back, but I m sure it has Altezza since it is EVO 8.

Was it on a "new car" carrier....ie the Evo still had the shrink wrapping on it, and plastic on the seats?

It could be a carrier being used to transport the car show vehicles from the LA show to their next destination...

well, nobody has seen a blue evo in any show yet, right?? LA had yellow and red (?), philly had silver, detroit had red, and UK had black.. is there a blue one floating around?? although if it were a new car carrier, there probably would be more than one evo on it, or the rest of the cars would at least be new 's

ahh, true...there was no blue at the la show...perhaps it's a Mitsu car loaned out for magazine testing?

One Evo on a truck full of Honda's does not mean much. It might be a show car, it might be a gray market car. Customer Evo's are still a few weeks away from our shores.

Umm, I've had a couple confirmed reports that they're sitting in Tacoma, WA right now. Custom check in takes 2 weeks ya know. How else do you think they'd be able to hit that 2/10 ship date?

White shrink wrap over the hood!

I dont' think is going to a show, since it was on a truck with other brand new Honda and .

I couldn't think of a Dealer at the BayArea sells Mitsu and Honda, otherwise I will stop by and take some pics for you guys.

Cuz this is West coast, maybe thats why we get to see it first?
