It's called you, a camcorder, and an unsuspecting lady.

NO !!!! THEY HAVE AS MUCH RESEMBLANCE AS THE BMW M3 E46 HAS TO JUST ABOUT EVERY OTHER E46... Keeping things similar works well when you have a respected brand like BMW but with mitsu with its POS reputation at present it is a bad idea agree.... eclips name is dead 3000GT name is dead so EVO is mitsu's last respected name plate... The problem is that it is conected too closely to mitsu's most POS name plate the lancer.

My point is yes teh evo X should have been 50% more agressive looking.... but either the evo will bull the lancer up in the consumers mind or the lancer will pull the evo down... time will tell.

People don't buy Evos cause they think it looks good. People buy Evos because they know how much bang for the buck they are getting in terms of performance and what a great drivers car it is. Anyone who buys an Evo purely based on looks, well, I would severly question their taste or lack thereof.

Eclipse name is dead (The 1st and 2nd gen eclipses is what made people think mitsubish iwas a crappy brand because all they did was brake POS)? Guess what they sold more 3g and 4g eclipses when they took off the turbo than they sold 1st and 2nd combined how many 2nd gen eclipses do you know that are up to 200k miles with almost zero problems? Mitsubishi doesn't make their money on lancer evos they make their money on lancers. You think ford makes their money on Ford GT's or Cobras? OMG their cobras look like regular V8 mustangs so it's a stupid move, right...?

Do you people ever consider how much R&D costs? You are crying about 40k price but then you want them to change the body even more? Yes if they made evo for you people it would be the last one because only a small niche would buy it. I think all the other evo models looked like crap, this is the only evo that looks decent. You say you want the X to look more aggressive wtf? So what would you make it look like it already resembles a jet fighter and a shark? Oh I get it throw on some laser beams that will make it more aggressive, or how about an oversized wing and some roof nipples? How do you make a 4 door sedan look more aggressive without taking off 2 doors?

Hey if you think it looks like crap and is super slow then you should be happy that your 9 or 8 will be better looking and faster right? So why are you complaining all of the time?

It's funny you say that. A friend is doing a k20 swap. Should be a quick little bugger.

Jesus those 10's are ugly.. Mitsu really had something going with the previous models, but imo they really ****ed up this time. Regardless of the performance, it looks like a retarded dinosaur..
