Well, lucky all you sceptics, you will still have a traditional 5-speed manual box to choose from. But I just hate all this guessing and speculations from people who has no idea what so ever of how Mitsus equivalent of the DSG will behave and work. I’ll just wait until some true specs comes out and some real test drives has been carried out and maybe then I’ll make up my mind but maybe not until I have the chance to test it myself.

I like the Camaro. I am just wondering when Porsche is going to come up with a new body design. They have been selling the crap out of that body style for 10 years now. Well...I guess if it is still making them money then why change it??

This is something the current Evo has never managed.
So far it looks as though Mitsu is making good with the X.

Yea, I bought my 1st evo when I was 23 and now Im 27.... I like the EVO, but I odnt want a "Boy racer" image anymore....

what about the Spoiler? does it look that big in person?

Good, I like the tail lights a lot better. Any ideas on what the price ranges and models will be? This will be my next car- no doubts on that.

Too bad 6mt owners don't respond to reason. They have computers do their homework, computers play their games, computers interact with forum buddies, computers buy their online crap, computers run all aspects of their lives....except the clutch. Oh god no, not the clutch. "Das wha ma knee is fo. Is fo cluchin".

Nothing but rumors, at this point. Best guess is ~$2k more than the IX, but it's just a guess.

LOL the touch-free car wash by my house does a better job cleaning the bottom of my car than that. On the plus side, at least we know it's drivable and has been driven...

The Proto X is basically 95% finish version of the production model Evo X. In some of the photos (with the japanese man in a helmet driving the car) the car has 18 low pros, BBS rims, production headlights and tails. Only 5% left is just testing the chasis and engine and warm and cold enviorment and than the world famous nurbur for suspension and track time.
