Evo and the term

My friend and I are having a debate on whether or not the Evolution series, and more importantly the USDM Evo 8 is considered a "DSM".

I dont want to influence the poll any, but I know the acronym is Diamond Star Motors, but most would agree that the term "DSM" means something more than that.

Vote away and post reasons!

(first time posting a poll too...hope it goes ok

no. From what i understand, DSM's refer to the cars made under the joint venture of mitsubishi and chrysler corp...and include the old eclipses (1g and 2g) talons and lasers, and the starion, daytona, and (i forget the plymouth one)

The Evo is most definitely NOT a DSM. The term "DSM" is very specific. A 3000GT is a DSM, btw, not the Evo.

Right and allso because the Evo s made with all japanese part content as well as manufactured in Japan. Correct me if I am wrong but most if not all DSM's were manufactured in the US.

This subject has been beaten so many times. That thread posted right above me is worth a look, filled with much information (pretty much the same objective that this thread is trying to achieve). We can't have multiple threads of these running around. If you feel the need to reply, you may do so in that very thread. I'm closing this.
