Too bad you stopped reading. Below that line I gave valid reasons why I didn't like the interior. Yeah, I could have used more diplomatic wording, such as "interior feature discussion", but in the heat of the moment I used primitive words that described how I felt.

SORRY TO HAVE OFFENDED YOU AND OTHERS.

Seems people can't make any any threads without offending someone out there these days.... that is the way of the mid-2K forum world I guess...

I'll probably offend someone for publically apologizing, a few flame posts will follow and the thread will be closed by a moderator like the rest.... sigh

I'm not feeling the Evo X! I think this is where the evolution stops! I don't like the concept design at all!

i hope i didnt sound dumb in that post
Actually, every insurance company I have spoken with has the EVO listed as much more expensive to repair than any WRX/STi.

Also you guys say that the new aluminum block will not be mod friendly, who cares! Most people in this nation like to keep there warrenty, evoM.net is a tuner website which attracts the tuner type evo owners. Im pretty sure that you guys are a small percentage of the evo owners. So if the evo is not mod friendly ( which you guys dont even know! ) then it wont matter because most people who buy cars, like to to keep it stock. The enitire world does not revolve around you.

I mean its cool to say its ugly and not like its interior. Thats a great reason not to buy it, but for the reasons that i stated in the above paragraph you should not dislike it for that.

Overall if you dont like it, dont buy it! And "IF" this model of the Evo and Lancer increase Mitsubishi's sells and profit margin then, you small iota of people who bash it really wont matter huh?
Im going to have to agree.

For those few people that hate because they feel (or know) it is going to be better than there VIII or IX. I mean, people can't front all they want, but they know so they make irrational and immature comments to make themselves feel better about there current model evo.

Bad grammer or not, he made a point and you clearly over look it by jabbing his grammer. You were better off not replying at all.

It was reported that it will come w/ a 5spd tranny aswell. Also DSG/SMG is far from crappy, test drive one at a local VW or BMW dealership.

I'm glad I could get that off my chest and also say this. I'm happy with my car. I'm glad I bought it. for better or for worse, it's best for me know. Also, as we all know, the Evo X isn't even't going ot be in a show room for quite sometime, by the time it does hit, some may want to trade up and some will keep there moded VIII's and IX's that are most likely than not going to pushing out more power and torque that a stock X anyway.

But I digres... a part of me still ailes the inability to experience the AYC of the JDM evo IX let alone the S-AWC of the X.
I applaud you getting that off your chest. Atleast your being real about it and not saying cheap lines like "the car is crap", "the car sucks", "the car is fugly", "mitsu is a sellout". I could go on and on with the 1st grade response I have read in here, it's just plain sad.

Honestly, this is the only time I have to agree MMC/MMNA needs to become a 'sellout' or they will fault in the car market. They will have to appeal to a broader audience and if that means the lancer/lancer evolution needs to incorporate some things to do it, than by all means DO IT. Mitsubishi is still in the red and has a long way to go if they ever want to step foot out of it. The Evo X is the right direction.

Doesn't mean it's REAL or production. Simply means they had a car there that was legal to drive on the roads when they did photo shoots and driving demonstrations.
