Perhaps Mitsubishi is going with the styling cues of Subaru. Y'know how all three Imprezas look alike.

Well, the drawing looks ok. I didn't buy the EVO for looks anyways. It is all about its numbers on a track.

I sure wouldn't loose any sleep over a drawing. Anyone can draw a drawing. For example, check out my drawing of the EVO X!

AWD sports car sales will increase big time once the EVO X comes out don't you think??

huh? can you even have a mechanical active differential. That is like saying you are going to use a passive active crossover on your speaker system. Active means there is something working all the time to keep things at a sense of homeostasis. And a mechanical one ain't gonna do that. It has to be electronic to be active in my opinion.

Those were exactly my thoughts but didn't want to post first.
Tails with the redesigned plate position looks just like previous gen (before redesign) Civic coupe

the funny thing is that when the first released pics of the Evo 8 came out there were so many who totally hated the looks. Now there are few who argue that the 8 looks good. Nothing to worry about, all you haters will be drooling over the 9 when it hits the streets.

It doesn't look that bad after viewing a few times, but i think those headlamps really have to go. The triangular lamps are overused in just the past few years, Civic, altima, rx330, just to name a few. And did anyone else catch this, but it looks as if they downplayed the widebodied look of the Evo.

EVO IX drawings/pics have been circulating, and they appear to be similar. I'll take those RalliArt headlamps if they toss in these fogs in. I'd be more impress with the AYC, ACD, + 6spd added.

I thought the Lancer was supposed to get a totally new platform for 2006, to be shared with several other DCX vehicles - including the Neon.
