I'd have to disagree with you on that one. When the IX was in production there was a TON of hype on these boards with so much speculation. And what happened afterwards? Droves of people started trading in their VIII's for IX's. I predict the same when the X comes out.

For those that are going, I hope you guys take tons and tons of pics of every detail of the X.
Plus, does anyone know if Mitsubishi will show the Lancer RALLIART at Detroit?

I believe that they are going to show the RalliArt and the X at Detriot.

I just received an email from

announcing the debut of the new '08 lancer in the Jan 8 show. They also promise to unveil the prototype or concept "X". I imagine that the EVO X will be based on the new Lancer model and the "X" prototype will be pretty much what the new EVO X is likely to look like. I think it will be interesting to see those cars......

No, they won't be showing Lancer Ralliart. Just Lancer and Prototype X.

You can see a sneak peak of the show at:

With the increased strength of the safety shell + side and curtain airbags+ larger wheels and tires + a higher level of creature comforts, don't be surprised if we see Evo X come in 250-300lbs. heavier than the current car.
