Who else is fed up with so many different rumors?
Hey lets have a little vote or just some comments on how everyone feels about so many different rumors on the Evo coming to the U.S. I would love for it to come and i really hope it does. But mitsu should keep us more updated. First i heard it was then it wasnt and now its under testing and now they dont know and then they might just bring the Evo 8 over or both . I've heard so many different idea's its crazy.....well just let me hear what you guys think. And any good articles you might have found about mitsu news on the Evo.
Well, I think it's safe to say we are all fed up with ALL rumors. I need some definite info because I will be selling my car as soon as the details are released!! By the way...anyone wanna buy a 2000 Eclipse GT..Black with black leather (permium package) 
Personally I think discussing rumors is part of being a car enthusiast. That said, some of the BS that comes from certain sources (*cough* salesmen *cough*) is rather frustrating. Oh well, 
will let the cat out of the bag eventually... And then we can rumor about the next model year!

I hope that the Evo VII doesn't come to the U.S. I don't want these stock Evo VII with turbos runnin' around kickin' everyones ***. People with an Evo VII would pull up next to someone with a 2002 Lancer and laugh at them. Don't get me wrong though, I love Evo's.

Mitsu will have a PR disaster if they keep wetting the appetite of the populace w/o a finished product or maybe a let down.
What will happen if they run the US spec evo in the 220-240 HP range? People will start to curse Mitsu for such lame attempt.
Also, Mitsu has to bring its HP rating beyond 250 HP. Otherwise, a mildly modded Supra TC or GSX will take down an E7, another notch in their belt taking down an exotic. Mark my words . . . driving an E7, you will get a lot of potshots at the redlight w/ serious racers.
