no, it still looks like a teenage car.

 

Here is a link to bigger pics

I think its ok, maybe it'll look better in white...

 

Yeah I think you're right. Maybe without the wing. In any case if they offer a Ralliart version without the hood/wing, it kind of looks like a cross between a Volvo and the Mazda 6 which could be a nice sleeper.

 

 

I'm glad they flared the fenders a bit over the Lancer GT-S. Looks good enough to make Subaru fans cry.

 

I think we need to see it in other colors. To me it looks great even in red, but when I see it in white, black, blue, and etc., I really like it.

 

Read before you say something or else you'll end up looking like a moron.

 

Anyone notice how the pipe is routed to the intercooler on the inlet side. You can actually see it in the top grille and then you see it coming into the top side of the intercooler. Maybe they did it like that for better flow, shorter distance for the air to travel. ?

 

We also have the press release and gallery up here with slightly clearer pics since we started with the high res versions.

In the press release, it stated that this is an "exterior production study" not production ready car. This means there could still be some subtle changes. Its also the JDM one at that, so they may make changes for the US version

 

I'm on it!!

 

Anyone notice the different sets of tires left vs. right side of the evo X.

 

I still can't stand that dual exhaust crap on the car. I know they are going for the symmetrical look for the car, but still why add weight on something that serves no real purpose. Especially on this kind of car that as aimed as an all business sports sedan. Other than that it looks good, it still allows for improvement looks wise in the aftermarket. I even like how now all of them are going to come with the aluminum roof, looking at the picture at least.

 

yes it might be a little more innovative, but i still like the looks of the EVO ix alot more than the X, i don't know is something about the X that it just doesn't look right they are trying to be innovative and it's not working

i love my IX,,, keeper

 

Found the production pictures, not sure if these have been posted. It looks a bit odd, but I guess it will take some time to get used to it. Below is the link to the article.

Mitsubishi Motors in Japan revealed an exterior image of the production version of the Lancer Evolution high performance sedan. The image, released in conjunction with a financial results announcement, reveals the subtle exterior details of the forthcoming production model, whose styling direction was first suggested with Concept X (2005 Tokyo Motor Show) and later reinforced with Prototype X (2007 NAIAS). The soon-to-market Lancer Evolution represents the zenith of the Lancer badge's performance development; a rally racing story that began over 30 years ago in the deserts of the Safari Rally, later saw dominance on the WRC stage in the 1990's, and now combines the lessons from competition with high technology to bring an enthusiasts' hero to the streets.

The development concept for the all-new Lancer Evolutioną specifies a "next-generation high-performance 4WD global sedan that allows all levels of driver to enjoy the car's speed and handling with ease and in safety". The new model features Mitsubishi's S-AWC˛ traction and handling system. This advanced all-wheel-drive system integrates a superior level of drive torque distribution and braking management, making this the best handling Lancer Evolution vehicle of the series. This technology when mated to the new, more rigid Lancer platform results in a Lancer Evolution that is highly responsive, offering intuitive handling and a greater degree of control in addition to outstanding vehicle attitude stability. Other examples of Mitsubishi Motors' latest automotive technology to be featured in the new model include a new lightweight, high-performance 2.0-liter turbocharged MIVEC3 engine with aluminum cylinder block and a 6-speed automated manual transmission that contributes to vehicle's exceptional performance while offering improved fuel economy.

Expect the all-new Lancer Evolution sedan will go on sale in North America in the first quarter of 2008.
