the hole front end looks pretty good. now how abou the engine?

 

hrmm and when is the 9 coming out? they don't make a "version" change every year...the last time the vii came out was ~2000...(and now we just got the viii in 2003)...

this next year, your gonna see the 2004 EVO VIII .... not 9..sorry but this is what the last time i checked, i have seen the inventory in the mitsu database, although the numbers are 0 (none produced yet) its still the evo viii

It should be the same, except for a few minor changes...and or improvements.

 

Yep, just what he said, I have a very reliable source from Mitsu Japan, you won't see any major changes to the EVO until 2006.

 

Do you think the Evo IX might come out in the spring of 2005?

 

how about evo 10 - or 20

 

I'd like to see the fenders "rolled" a little more crisply too..I think that gives it a very aggressive look...

 

Yeah those headlights and fog likes look kinda weird but unique.

 

that red evo makes me want to vomet

 

I don't think the engine power will change much just by looking at the power of the older Evo's, they all look almost the same.

 

Looks like someone beat it with an ugly stick. What the heck are the manufacturers thinking these days?

 

Actually the Evo VII debuted in January of 2001. 2000 was the last year for the Evo VI.

 

When the Evo 8 made its debut at US car shows, the Mitsu reps at the shows claimed that the US Spec version of the "next Evo" (i.e. IX) would be different from its Japanese counterpart...

Really though thats just salemen talking about projections, but still if its true then while the JDM Evo 9 might be similar to the Evo 8 the US Spec 9 could be very different...

 

There was a thread re: the history of Evos. Basically, you can really see that Mitsu JAPAN does introduce new "revisions" each year. This is the recent history:

2001 - Evo 7
2002 - Evo 7 GTA
2003 - Evo 8
2004 - Evo 8 MR

They are roughly one year apart...

It's true though in recent years, instead of COMPLETE model changes, Mitsu JAPAN introduces 'mild' revisions.

The emphasis here of course is Mitsu JAPAN. God knows what you guys will get in the USA, no offense...

 

Canada sucks, I hope they don't get the evo, and stop sending us your mad cow.

 

yes revisions, not versions their talking about viii your talking about evo automatics, and stuff
