Either way, the best turbo they make is going to be on the Evo X and not anybody else's car.

From what I know RDXs turbo was made in conjunction with Mitsubishi (http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do...ticleId=115583). Anyway, can't wait for the new Ralliart and Evo X to come out, judging by the new Outlander I don't think a lot of people will be disappointed.

If you don't like it don't buy it. There are hundred of different cars out there. I like the new Evo X and I cant wait for the car to come out. I love the 04 that I have now and I can't wait to get another one. Mitsubishi will never screw up the Evo. Stop crying so much. Go

We Drive The New Mitsubishi Lancer - Just Don’t Ask Us About It
Filed Under: Auto News, Sedans, Mitsubishi, Future Vehicles November 17th, 2006 9:19 AM
I’ve just returned from Santa Barbara, where I had the pleasure of driving the 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer in a couple of different trims. Although the Embargo Game prevents me from disclosing driving impressions or releasing images of the actual car at this time, I can report coming away rather impressed.
Mitsubishi’s marketing team let us loose on some genuinely challenging mountain roads (no guard rails, blind corners, periodically wet and packed with fauna), which shows a degree of confidence in the new Lancer that’s been largely absent with their current car.
While I cannot delve into specifics about the models I drove, I can say that the “standard” Lancer comprises three trim levels, none of which is a Ralliart or EVO. Mitsubishi officials are looking to expand the former’s reach, hoping to give the name “Ralliart” an additional degree of cache among enthusiasts. On that order, consistent needling on my behalf led to the conclusion that the Ralliart will be to the EVO what the WRX is to the WRX STi. That means a meaningful bump in horsepower, torque, and overall capabilities, versus its garden-variety Lancer brethren, without encroaching on the EVO’s franchise.
It’s also worth noting that the new model was designed more as a global car than the Lancer currently in showrooms. Increases in width, power, and interior space were all done to make the car more competitive in markets outside of Japan. The fact that the car’s global reveal is set for January’s North American International Auto Show should be instructive as to the brand’s aspirations for the car, as well.
About that—expect to see the three mainline Lancers in Detroit, as well as an EVO concept that’s essentially production-ready. Though it wasn’t entirely clear, we wouldn’t expect to see a Ralliart derivation on display at Cobo Hall.

you see i have a evo 8 before but now i think the evo 9 looks way better then 8 or 7
and i know there some other people dont like the looks of a evo cause they like BMW M3
and the after market body kits are a killer
but there is some of them don't looks as good to me as to other people
i just really hope evo won't share anything engine or plate form with other company at all
just keep it like an evo
you know what i mean
keep it special
beside is a evo x
name is a killer
so the picture looks are 90% but they could change that 10 % into something else

is the performce, example since evo x is a lighter and smaller car, little bit wider and have 360 hp or 400 hp that come in stock
and the GTR have 450 hp
so what do you think ?
think the evo will lose to a GTR
also the depend on the driver too
the price is 1 k to 2 k more then the evo 9
so you still want a GTR for 70k or an evo x that is less then 40k
beside you can always upgrade
hey i like the GTR too but can't afford one
so evo will do fine
is like a girl friend kinda
tell you the truth my evo 8 to me is my wife
