I wonder how much of the "high tech" drivetrain will really come to the US shores. We always get robbed with the goodies that Japan and European market gets and we don't. Also twin exhaust . The gauge cluster reminds me of a Mini cooper.

I don't get it! Just because it has swaybar mean that it doesn't have ARC?

Toyota have a similar system call REAS (Rear Electronic Active Suspension) on the MKIV supra,but only in Japan though and it still have swaybar.

Both rear shocks are connect by the REAS system, and as you make a turn, it stiffens up the shock on the side that has the force acting on it.

The look is starting to grow on me... at least they decided to keep a 6 speed and not make DSG the only option.. but like many others, I'll be keeping my IX.

At least the Tail Lights are red, rather than the white ones some of the older pics were showing.

Sounds like a smart move for Mitsu --- even if it loses a little of its "edge" like the article says.

I believe GM started using them first. They were developed for cold weather areas to prevent throttle cables from freezing and thus breaking.

She'll be completely done with school and finally working as a career woman, and we've already discussed the new Evo X as her new car.... If she doesn't get that, then she'll wind up buying a truck to haul our bikes around, cause I don't plan on getting rid of my IX.
Hey whats up? What kind of bike do you have i just got an r6

I'm anxiously awaiting more detailed numbers on pricing. This car is perfect for me. I love my VIII, but I'm not a big mod guy. My VIII is still almost completely stock and I enjoy it a ton, but I love the new look of the X and the new interior looks MUCH better. I daily drive my evo 60+ miles a day and don't take it to the track. (although that may change once I hit my 100K mile mark and lose my warranty). This would be a great year round daily driver for me. I can't wait.
