It might eat the E46 M3's for breakfast, but I seriously doubt it will have anything on the E90 iteration. V8 400hp 400 ft lbs tourqe.

Regardless - I might have to pick up the X when it comes out. I'm torn between getting that or finding myself a nice Pcar to add to the stable.

I kinda like this better,,, also on the site.

http://www.leftlanenews.com/2006/07/...w-m3/#comments

But after reading more on the bmw site,,, Someone said that BMW said the new 335i is a better car than the v-8 M3.

But anyways the new X evo is going to be very very interesting when it finally comes out.
In that clip they said it will weigh less than the current 8-9 evos. 300+ horses, dsg, Navi. and crusie might get me into the new X also.

To anyone interested in Evo X there is a nice little summary about it at: http://www.topspeed.com/cars/mitsubi...w-ar10517.html

No new information (and some of the information is just speculations) but it's better than going all around few websites where you have everything in one.

I've got some mixed feelings about this.... the concept cars looked sharp - like you say, like a TSX or TL. Modern. A feeling of action, sleekness.

But the Lancer pics (definitely not Evos, despite the claim) posted in the last day don't have even the basics of those attributes... even with the Evo's extended flares and even more aggressive grill the basic body still looks short and tall, with an outsized passenger compartment. Like the current Lancer. And I have the sinking feeling the H-point went up a lot.

Of course there is only so much that can be done with a car of this size... but this is definitely not the concept.

But I'll wait for more pics before calling final judgement here... and pics from different angles. The tall trunk lid, for one thing, will lend more forward-motion to to the look of the car than the too-short lid on the current Lancer does. And perhaps the tires will be taller (like the current Evo compared to the Lancer underling), although I think that point is technically unlikely this time out. So, we need some real pics... and it may be months before an actual Evo X is found on the road.

Remember that the car is heavily camouflaged (hope I spelled it right) so it's hard to tell if it'll look good or bad. From my POV, it'll probably be a cross between the mazda 3 (rear part) with a dash of TL/TSX.
