Evo X looks like standard Lancer?

I would think for the Evo X owners appreciate the large number of regular lancers on the road to provide camo from the cops at quick glance. Evo 8 and 9 is easily identified at quick glance, You have to know the Evo X to know the difference at quick glance.
Exactly what I was going for when I got the smaller wing. STEALTH. that way I hopefully am no the first guy pulled over all the time....And the regular lancers still look good to boot.
I think it looks different enough (could be more differences) but still enough to where most tuners would be able to see the difference. Unlike the Evo 7-9, people will not see the difference between a evo X and a lancer GTS if they don't have knowledge of cars.
If you think it's bad though, the WRX and the STI is even closer (the previous generation, not the newest gen)

Evo 1-6.5 had "same look" as their regular Lancer model trims....just basically different front bumper, hood, rear bumper, and wing along with different drivetrain, technology, suspension, and motor.
Evo 7-9 was the only genre Evo that had a "seperate" exterior design difference to regular Lancers...the only thing that gave it away that they Evo's and Lancers were the "same" was the interior.
So now the Evo X and the new Lancers are out...its basically like when the Evo's 1-6.5. Lancers and Evo's have alot of exterior similarities...but several exterior difference, technology, drivetrain,suspension, and engine seperate the regular Lancers from the Evo's.

If I had an Evo X I would totally not care about it looking similar to the base Lancer. If you do, you're probably just insecure and care about your image too much.

I'm glad they look similar now. I was always annoyed that the Lancers looked nothing like the Evo yet they shared the same name.......well almost. I always thought they should either change the name of the Lancer or make it look like the Lancer Evolution......or maybe they should just drop the "Lancer" from the Evo and just call it an "Evolution"

The Evolution X looks different enough (just wish the tail-lights looked better) from the Lancer GTS. Also I think it benefits X owners. Provide cover... cause 8s and 9s get pulled-over all the time in my area.

I personally feel they look a little too similar. I think if the fender flares were a bit more pronounced on the Evo and it would be enough. That is really all I miss from the 7-9 looks wise is that clearly defined fender flare. From certain angles the fenders on the X look good but, from other they blend in too much.
