Bad news about the EVO VII

I thought I would pass this a long;

I talked to one of my peeps to day at Mitsubishi (Meda) He said that the EVO VII that will come to the states will be a much water down version.

That Blows

P.S Don't Flame me I'm just trying to Help !!!

Good, maybe it will be in the same price range as the WRX and be slightly faster.

I would be satisfied with that.

Not flaming, but until anything is oficially announced, I don't believe anything about the EVO in the US. (Unless I believe that it'll debut in 2005, 2004, 2003 and next year; it will be 230, 250, 280 ans 320hp; it will have a FMIC and a TMIC; with the same front bumper and one that's redisigned; it'll be $25K, $30K, $35K and $40K; and will be exactly the same as the JDM version and watered down).

Did I miss anything?

That wouldnt be bad if it came as a 250Hp model at 25k cuase then it would be affordable... it wouldnt take many mods to get it back up to 300Hp

Kiss the warranty good-bye if you plan on modding it anytime soon. I hope it comes over with the suspension/electronics that made it a legend... the engine warranty, well some of us would lose that right off the bat anyway.

For backchair mechanics like myself, I want my ACD plug and play baby!

Yeah, even a 250hp is better than no Evo VII at all!

I want one!

Talking we don't need no stinkin warranty

i went through hell with my S4 with my dealer. Warranties aren't worth crap IMO. If u modify, stuff will break and u will need repairs, but do not expect your dealer to help. My best advice would be to find a tech at the dealer, give him a 100$ and get his #. Use him to help out if u run into a problem, some of these guys are happy to earn the side cash. Develop a relationship with a body shop and when u go to buy parts, use their name to get the dealer discount. And there u go, screw the warranty

I have heard 250HP, less aggressive seats, and they are considering the AYC, and ACD.

I've heard the US Evo will have three wheels, persian carpets, five antennas, GPS speed sensors, Anti-Anything Control and stinks of garlic.
