Evo X to be released in US 1st!
click here!
according to LeftLane News (they have been pretty reliable on news thusfar), the Evo X will debut somewhere around late spring 2007...in the US first, NOT JAPAN!

I find that very hard to believe but anything is possible. I think Mitsu is pretty set on the powertrain aspect of the X but the body/interior looks a long ways from production.
They would have to show an updated version of the car in January without a doubt unless they are purposly keeping things under wraps only to drop a bomb that the car is in fact ready to go
Spring 2007 would be great however as that would be the ideal time for me to buy
. Now lets hope Canada gets it at the same time as the US.

I think Leftlane news probably mis-translated that story from Nihon Keizai Shimbun
Edmunds covers the same story from Nihon Keizai Shimbun and reports that the Mistubishi Lancer will be released in the US first, making no mention of when or where the Lancer Evolution will first appear...

i'm thinking
needs this to revive some sagging sales on our side of the ocean. they had a horrible time last year in their home market due to not disclosing some recall information (it was on the news all the time), and then the Japanese government bank hit them with a crazy huge fine.i hope it sells well, and we'll continue getting these level of cars from Japan.
