Actually the steel plate has a raised Mitsubishi symbol on the front of it. That way, anytime you rear end some one, it leaves a nice Mitsubishi symbol on their rear bumber. Talk about free advertising!

One thing I think that is missing (in detail) from all of these pictures of the Evo VIII is the the ridge in the hood going from the top of the triangle piece towards or all the way to the hood scoop. I have feeling that might make the car look a whole lot better than what we've seen.

Besides, pictures are nice, but your brain always tends to fill in any missing or unclear parts with preconceptions. I want to see the real thing in person. Another car freak of mine had a chance to check one out, but said he "forgot". I wanted to kick him in the nuts right there.

Here is what I think 
is doing with the nose. If you notice the pix from Vegas, all the cars have that new nose look. So does the new Outlander that is out now. I think is defining a universal look for themsleves. Kind of like how BMW and Jags all have a very similar look. Badge or no badge, you can always tell a Jag or BMW when you see one regardless of which model you see. Like it or not, it's a smart move to establish that universal look.

Not to burst anyone's bubble, but the whole corporate grill idea isn't just a rumor. I'm about 99.9% sure it's been noted in multiple magazine articles and online articles. There is no real need for speculation. Keep in mind that I have no more of an idea about the actual structural characteristics of the front end than anyone else out there that doesn't work deep within Mitsubishi's dev department.
Are they seriously trying to go Pontiac style? That is the only thing that bugs me about the new EVO.
