^ that doesn't look remotely close to any evo 8 I've ever seen.

comparing the smile the evo has to the brz or frs or any late models is abit silly, it's a whole new era of cars that are chubbier, a little cheap looking with all the plastic components and just typically un-attractive. Many cars have the "smile" look but the evo has a much different curve on it. It's much more simple, Its wider, air ducts are much bigger than most and they actually have purposes for the fmic and oil coolers unlike most. I can't really think of a car to compare the evo 8 front with since it's really exclusive. Same goes for the ix bumper.

 

Guess we were wrong, then. Carry on.
