Sorry, man, but you are a tad late. Those cars are old news around here. Either search or go here to check them out.

Next year's "RS" Evo could very well be badged as a "Ralliart" the MR badge might be a bit too confusing. As if ES, LS, OZ, Ralliart, Ralliart Sportback, Evolution aren't ready enough for the Lancer family. Hell, they are talking about bringing the Colt over here again. If they do I hope they give it a unique name rather then it being a Lancer Colt or Lancer Hatchback.

 

Check the following links as they may provide information on 2004 models in the future. As of today they have not worked for me. Sometimes I get these broken links; sometimes I don't.

Theoretically a picture of the 2004 Evolution and links to download a zip file containing pictures of the 2004 Evo are available.

Still Mad at Mark Mitsubishi for illegally and unethically refusing to sell me a car on e-bay although I was the high bidder after the auction ended (https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...threadid=45993)

 

They ought to skip right to calling it a MY05 considering they've got the latest MY03 release.

 

I'm not sure if anyone has commented on this but production of the EVO's runs from calendar year to calendar year. Also, I wouldn't put stock in alot of what's been speculated on for 2004. Look for an announcement at SEMA about the 04's.

 

The big question now is will I be driving a 2004 Model Lancer Evolution in GRan Turismo 4 before I am on the streets?

 

THe only thing that could keep me from buying a 03 (in blue) is that gray color that color ownz

 

And Ralliart performance parts too, right?

 

Some how all mitsubishi Evo 8 owners need to come together and make mitsubishi Have a factory performance upgrade option. They should sell us parts that will give us more HP and will not void the warranty. The Fq-300 comes with HKS parts. Whats up with that?

 

Yes several times.

Zero fighter
TME
TME RSIIs
RSII
RS


and Semi-Officially with the UK FQ-300, 330 and TME Monte Carlos

 

I don't know if this has been posted already. But it's a link to pics of the next generation Evolution.

I figured some members might be interested in the possible new look.

 

Those have been posted and those are probably right on the money based ont he look of the 2004 lancers. It would be be very cool if they clued in and offered a hatchback Evo like Subaru does with the WRX. If only I could give them my hard earned money for a hatchback Evo with cruise, SMT, and full underbody aerodynamic paneling. I guess I wouldn't be able to get the cool big wing with a hatchback though..

 

from what i hear at the mitsubishi dealerships, is that the lancer evolution 8 2004 model is going to be the same as the lancer 2003 model....

1# reason for them not upgrading is because of mitsubishi's poor sales in the US overall... not just with the lancer.... lancer evolution is not doing that great either.... because most people still dunno what it is...

o ya i acutally got to see the 2004 model... looks the same... nothing different... the salesmen showed me all of mitsubishi's new 2004 models... even the new lancer sportback... they r all going to be unveiled at some car show in san francisco i think... at the moscone center or something

newayz i wouldnt bet on mitsubishi upgrading more parts netime soon.... mainly cuz of poor sales in the US.... i.e. the civic beating out the lancer...

 

If that is the case, I bet they're going to be going for next to nothing. If nothing is improved, you might as well find a used 2003, especially with the possibility of warrranty denial.

 

Mitsu said from the get-go at the car shows that the Evo would be the same for 2004...

They are looking at 2005 or later to release the true US spec Evo...in fact the the US spec Evo will be very different from the Japanese one...they have been saying this for quite some time...so please stop with the rumors please...the 2004 has been old news since the Evo 2003 came out...

 

How can you tell others to stop with the rumors in a thread that is specifically for rumors and then post a rumor yourself.
