I think I say this post before but I just read about it in a magazine today. I was thinking that we call our car an evo (not me since i dont have one yet) and now people are going to get it confused with this. Just doesnt seem right to me

nope they dont. many manufacturer used the "evo" name before. including mercedes - lancia just out of my head.
and the ford is not evo its evos.

I remember seeing that not so long ago. I believe it is Evos (ee-vos) as opposed to an Evo (ee-voh).

I guess if the Evo is actually registered as an Evolution, the name Evos is well and truly different.

Its a shame they abuse "evo" like that. A name of that stature does not belong on any modern ford. The only Ford cars worthy of a name like that were never sold in the usa. The only 2 Ford cars worthy of that level of respect (or any respect) are the Ford Escort Cosworth RS, and the Ford RS200.

ford gt's are pretty nice

Dodge also made a Lancer back in the day, didn't they?

When I have told people what I drive (an Evo), I've had them ask, the Subaru Evo or the Mitsubishi? and other such things. It doesn't bother me...it gives me a chance to talk about cars!

i think it looks pretty cool for a ford and the mustang boss 302 is also a nice ford for an american car. evo is also not a registered trademark because our cars are evolutions technically and even more its a lancer.

Those are not lambo doors. They are gull wings. Like on an old Mercedes.

I think Ford Evos is a pretty bad name for it to be honest. The Mercedes Evolution I and Evolution II are real cars. Never sold to the U.S. The Evo I is my dream car.

The Evolution moniker was used with the Group B Rally cars back in the 80's. Audi had Quattro Sport S1 Evolution. Mitsubishi basically used a term for an upgrade found in Rally Racing. Ford, Lancia, Peugeot and Renault all did it as well. The great thing about the name "Evo" is that it hearkens back to the Group B rally beasts and it maintains the legacy of Mitsubishi in rally racing.

And in Europe they pronounce it "Eh - Voh"

Hell yes - I used to lust after the Escort Cossie. Saw the RS200 many times in rallycross. Phenomenal car.

We're getting the Focus ST at the end of the year - I sense a trade-in coming.
