I just found this site (sorry if this has already been mentioned)
http://www.apexjapan.com/news/lancer...ancer_evo.html
and after reading the rumors about no AYC, ACD and only 5 speed I thought it sounded very similar. Basicaly it says that will release a normal Lancer Cedia but with Airtrek drivetrain- meaning AWD, and EVO Lancer front suspension and 4G63 engine but with 246hp and 248ft/lb. It will be called the Lancer Cedia Evolution. But, quote "Essentially, the Airtrek is very similar to the old Eclipse turbo, with a very straightforward AWD driveline" and "what MMC may be planning here is a direct competitor to the Subaru Impreza WRX turbo model" and it will be an auto . I realize the power isn't what you expected but maybe it will tuned slightly, also quote "MMC may use this as their "worldwide" Lancer Evolution model". I thought that wouldn't bother making the full JDM EVO - GSR and RS, Lancer Cedia Evolution AND US spec EVO, seems like a lot of extra work. Hopefully I am wrong and I am sure you can tell me.

Old info you have there.
Our Evo will have 265+hp, Brembos, Recaros, fmic, etc. I think it is a little better than a WRX competitor. It'll be a Wrx crusher
