Lancer Evolution X News, Info, Pics, etc... | [ALL THREADS MERGED]
My God people, it’s just a CONCEPT. It WILL change between now and when it is released. People said the same thing about the EVO 8 when it was shown. OMG, I like the EVO 7 better, OMG this, OMG that.
Just chill out and give it time to mature some. Its like wine, it takes time for it to be its best.
Also, it has been said that the EVO X might have paddle shifters. That may be what you are seeing on the steering wheel.

maybe there trying to deter people from drag racing the car... I highly doubt they will offer multiple engines, but i think its very likely that they will offer this car with the SMG and a standard manual.. probably on an RS model.

My biggest concerns are:
1.) 2.0L displacement. How well will this compete with the 2007 conpetition: 350z/g35c, is350 coupe(?), Supra(?), RX7(?), GT500, STi, VW R36, Camero(?)? Personally I'd really like to see an optional turbocharged 3.0L V6/I6 under the hood.
2.) What will starts be like in the new SMG tranny? Let's face it, this engine blows below 3k rpms...will the SMG magnify this problem?
