The near-finished Evo 10 is hands-down a better looking vehicle than the Nissan.

 

i suspect there will be watered down version
260HP
Steel everything

 

We'll see a lot more versions of the car just like the WRX is doing now.

Cheaper 260hp version to compette with regular wrx.

A 276hp version that costs and performs like we have now(30-35k)


300hp super version just shy of 40k.
Mistu is going to squeeze every nickle from every platform.
They have to to survive

 

I would guess 36k being the base Evo up to $39.9k for the top of the line + options. People will still pay it.

 

Yes sir that is my opnion was well.. but i love the GT-R back.. ive always loved it

 

anyone can say what they want about previous versions, the X looks badass and when it comes out im sure plenty of people will be at the dealerships trying to buy it and justify whatever design "evolution" mitsubishi decided to make. In the end of the day, we all know that we really shouldn't care what the car looks like, it always ends up growing on everyone, the real issue is whether the car evolved fromt he previous platform. This being does car perform any better than its predecessors? I think that the X is very well positionned so far from the specs to do that.

 

To the people complaining about GM stealing "the Skylines" tail lights, perhaps you should consider the design itself dates much further back to GM's own Corvette....

If anything Nissan borrowed it from GM, and you can trust me when I say that the design cues of the Impala and Cobalt were based off Corvette elements...

Back on topic, love the new 10. I assume it will be too expensive for me to own though. I will say this though, this weekend during MOD at the Mitsu Normal plant I noticed some workers had pictures of the new 10 on a cork board to the side of the assembly line. Not trying to infer that I think they might make the 10 here, just sharing that even Mitsu's employees are interested in the newest version of the Evo.

 

It's going to get to a point and their going to price them out of the market. Just like the Supra , 3000 gt , and 300 z they better watch what their doing. The Evo 9's ain't flying off the showroom now!!!!

 

Dont give a ****, its ugly as hell.

 

hmm let me look into my crystal ball and check how much it costs.....

 

No offense but the Evo 9 just came out, I think it's too early to speculate about the 10 IMO. It'll be a while until it's even worth speculating.

 

evo 9's are barely in the showroom first of all and 2nd when the X is here they will sell regardless of price ! Also i'm thinking a price of 30k just for the base evo! IMO

 

VERY VERY good point! though mitsu might be trying to avoid the clutch issues on the 8 an 9 by taking it ot on the X. That might reduce incurred costs by them.

PS just an off topic hypothesis. On the pics of the X there is an inlet on the hood that leads close to the firewall. Isnt that where the turbo on the srt4 is located. Maybe same technology or engine?

 

Is there even going to be an MR version?

 

Hey I was reading the Auto Week article on the EVO X and I MUST have read something incorrectly. It seemed to say that there is no manual version of the EVO X available. It will just be an automatic with tiptronics. (shift paddles) I of course misunderstood correct? Im sure Mitsu wouldnt come out with a car that you cant get a manual version of?
