Lancer Evolution X News, Info, Pics, etc... | [ALL THREADS MERGED]
...The Evo X HAS NO RACING HERITAGE/RESEARCH/TESTING/DEVELOPMENT AT ALL. They slapped together an this car all ***** nilly and called it the "Evolution X". The Previous Evo chassis (Evo 7 8 9) was a result of lots of testing via WRC. I hardly think anything on the Evo X (including its sorry *** SUV chassis) has saw competition yet.
WOW guys, sonicnofadz saw this whole process of building the EVO X from scratch go down. Apparently they slapped together this ***** nilly SUV EVO X for us without any testing/research/heritage behind it. 
I wonder what's taking so long to build this evo X then, I mean it's going to be 3 or more years before it's on the road, I guess they have very long lunch breaks at Mitsu
But seriously man, you want us to understand or agreee with you when you say some very ignorant crap that we've ever read here.

Exactly, how long does it take to slap a turbo kit and lowering springs on a Caliber or Outlander. The car should already be out if that's all that's going into it.
I know that two different models will come out one with a 5 speed and then the 6 speed paddel shifting......also, there are two different versions of the Evo....US and Japan. The US is going to use the new 4b11t motor and the one in Japan is going to use the 4g63 motor still. The bodies have the same design but the US version is long and bigger and the Japan version is still using the same size as the current evo just with the new framing and design to keep up with the ralliart circut. Sucks I know...when I saw the pics of both of them together big difference in size. FYI the new X's are supposed to launch sooner than people think. I cannot specify dates but will deff be before Thanksgiving.

Where did you get all your WRONG information???
I think you forgot to mention that the JDM version will also be available as RWD and come in 2 door convertible.

Not sure about the automatic, but i've read that at least for the manual they'll limit launches to 5k rpm as they're trying to save warranty tranny claims now that all mitsu's will come with WAY better warranty terms.

Every magazine articles and even Mitsu's own personnel are indicating their intention of making all future models including evo universal globally.
As far as their intro date, I thought it was supposed to be at Tokyo Auto Show.
You might wanna double check your source.
They seem extremely erroneous.
I cant freakin wait!
wow in the 3 years we have been reading about the new evo, you are the first to say it will keep the 4g63 motor.
DSG is great and all, but I hate the fact that it is going to take away so much from the driver. With a manual transmission and 2 evos that are the same it is a drivers race, you get to use your shifting skills. Now 2 same evos with DSG, it becomes as simple as a flick of a finger...
Who's gonna be the fastest finger on evoM?
As for me I am going with a full manual, I <3 CLUTCH
