I've never heard so many echoes in one post!

Nice find. That's really cool that they have an official countdown.

Official Lancer Evolution website

Not much there yet except for a flash intro, a few wallpapers, some videos I can't get to work, a contest to win an Evo (I tried to enter but it looked like it didn't work ), [...]
Read the contest rules. You won't be able to enter until after 12:01am PST on 10/15.

Hi all,

Been a lurker on these boards for about a year now, first post here. Anyway, I took a look at the Evo site, and I must say it looks promising! And well, as long as the car comes over intact as can be, I don't mind losing the number on the car, and I'm sure you can always find some place to order those things anyway.

On a more important note, however - everybody's been saying "Oh, it just says Evo and not EvoIII", has anybody noticed that the title bar DOES say "Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII"?? I don't know about you, but personally I find that a bit comforting because I haven't exactly, how shall we say, embraced the new looks of the VIII.

Anybody else notice this? Perhaps its a glint of hope for the EvoVII, or just a really mean trick by Mitsu!

The rules came up a bad link for me. I'm just curious if anything will be changed before the site goes live.

Doesn't work for me at the moment either. Maybe they saw the hits and took it down until the contest goes live. Depending on where it's been posted, there's also the slashdot effect to consider.

Countdown shows it'll be Jan. 3rd, which I believe is press day at LA auto show. Embargo date of Jan. 5th sounds about right. It'll be interesting to see who had the most accurate info in the next couple months

Yeah it's gonna be www.mitsubishievo.com according to the rules. I've also got a list of the other websites that Mitsu has registered but I'll have to wait till I get home from work to post them up.

BTW, I'm pretty sure Mitsubishi took the Evo section completely off of the website!

probably did a test-run to see if the site worked, saw the hits and took it off the server.
