Yes, But If U Didn't Know, That Will Be Next Body/chassis That Will Be Used For The Lancer/evo Models In The Near Future. So It Is Not To Say That We Are Wrong To Assume That That Will Be The Evo X. While It Is Still A Concept, Look At The Specs My Friend...
I don't see this as neccesarily a bad thing, it's all in the execution. If it does it's job well, and doesn't weigh as much as a battleship anchor, then you're getting maybe a free 10th of a second for every upshift you would've done with a regular manual. Imagine the amount of time saved over the course of a circuit race or rally or autocross. But the key is for Dr. Evo's team not to botch it.
Personally I'm glad that Mitsubishi is addressing the drivetrain on the Evo. Probably 90% of the issues with the Evo are in regards to some part of the drivetrain. Sure they could just upgrade the current transmissions to make them more robust, but where is the Evolution in that? That's more akin to putting a band-aid on a dodo bird.
If you read this forum MMNA, don't screw this up!

The same company that does them for VW / Audi is doing the Evo X.
But don't worry too much guys - that's DEFIENTLY going to be an option. A standard 6-Speed Manual WILL be available.
I can guarantee it.
