am i the only one whos getting tired of waiting to see what the evo X will look like? they keep teasing us about the damn thing for so long now, and we still dont know what its gonna look like, or any type of specs whatsoever, and they tease us by telling us that its not gonna be like the old evos, then you hear its sharing platforms with dodge and blah blah blah, i feel like storming mitsubishi, first smack em around for being such dumb business men, then steal all their data on the evo, its driving me crazy!

 

well, its not driving me crazy but still i mean come on already

 

lol obviously you didn't see the 100% true stats on the evo X
comes with a 2.5L motor and like 350bhp
newbs

 

Riiiiiight...

Proof?

 

6 wheels like on the Tyrrel Formula 1 car of the 70's, also. 6 wheel drive is something new, too.

All the pics, so far, are fake. That's what I'm talkin' 'bout.

 

Rofl they won't go with a 2.5L because WRC limit is 2L

 

That didn't stop Subaru.

 

it is actually going to be built on the SRT-4 chassis, but built by mitsu. DSM is coming back for those who tried to get rid of it!!! there will also be an awd srt-4 debuting the same time. this is why anyone who has wants an evo should not wait on the X. the 9 will be worth alot of $, so buy as many as you can & DON'T drive them. yes WRC is ltd to 2 liters, but that didn't stop subaru from sending the US a 2.5L car. mitsu will probably just stick with the 2.0 4g63 for rally. (they've been sucking anyway since Makinen left). so anyone with a current evo model (2006 or earlier) hold on to them...

 

True, but the 2.5l is only in the USA, the rest of the world gets a 2.0l.

 

So why do you think mitsubishi won't do the same thing? I'm pretty sure this next engine is going to be more then 2.0liters.

 

I don't think Evo's will be collector's items anytime soon...

But housedj is right.... if you want a true Evo, buy the VIII or the IX. After the Neon chassis is used, I don't think they'll ever be the same. (Not trying to bash the Neon in any way, shape or form).

 

I think Chrysler backed off relations with Mitsubishi because of their financial trouble...they will only share the raider which is mitsu's version of the Dakota.

"Zetsche began to organise resistance inside management over the company’s losses, which led to DaimlerChrysler pulling out of Mitsubishi altogether in spring 2004."->I believe Mitsu had to start the drawing board by themselves for the Lancer Evolution which is why they've takin so long to reveal this concept...but then again..that is just my opinion.

 

What the hell are you talking about? There is no such thing as a "SRT-4 chassis". The SRT-4 was built on a Neon chassis and Dodge retired it in 2005 along with the Neon name. To fill the compact void in their lineup Daimler Chrysler will share the next Lancer platform (currently in development) with Mitsubishi. As of yet no names have been released but DC has reserved rights to a handfull of names. A Dodge employee who posts regularly on the SRT forums listed them all recently.

Since the Evo X will based on the next Lancer platform, it's also a real possibility that the next SRT-4 will be as well. Remember that the Street & Racing Technology (SRT) division of DC only used the Neon as a vessel to carry their nameplate...with the "4" in SRT-4 denoting the number of cylinders. The relationship between "Neon" and "SRT-4" officially ended in 2005 when the Neon line was put out to pasture. The next SRT-4, if it uses the new Lancer platform, could very well be an AWD car. Competition is good for consumers.

 

the front end looks so much like an audi...

 

Let me help you all out. The new SRT-4 will not be a small car people. It will be a little bigger then the EVO....
