I don't think STi owners will care, to tell the truth.

So i told them, seems to me still is a more advanced car. At least the engine, what we are buying for these cars and the AWD system

Lol..i like that.they say evo is 6 yrs old.look at subaru still on the ej engine while the x have a new 4b11t & super awc.mitsubishi is really advance only 6 yrs on da 4b11t and they goin to make a evo hybrid..i hope they keep on making aftermarket parts for the x.

I was thinking that, if Mitsu doesn't want to build a baby GTR anymore, maybe they should hand the design over to Lotus or Porsche or Maserati ...
... or someone whose dealers actually know how to maintain a performance car.

But, of course, if the EVO were made in Europe, it probably would cost as much as a GTR or 911.

If their marketing wasn't so poor, this might be the opportunity to shift the EVO to a "luxo rebadge" marque (like Honda-Accura, Nissan-Infiniti, or Toyota-Lexus).

But since Mitsu mostly owns things like electronics manufacturing and fishing fleets, ...
... that may be why they want to shift to building electric road boats.
