It looks way more sexy now.
I am all for people who debadge for the sake of a clean look.
But to take out the Mitsubishi badge or Lancer badge just so not to be associate or mistaken for the run of the mill base machine....I see some identity issue here....well, it may be just me.
I don't see people with Audi RS4, or people with M3 complaining how their model looks like the garden variety version.
it seem that it is usually people that own STI & Evo being too sensitive to being associated with the base models.....
Maybe Mitsubishi should do a "Nissan" & cut the line between the base model & performance model like they did with the GT-R R35, no more skyline, & not even the nissan badge on the car, at least not on the outside.
But don't come here & complain when it retail a good 10-20k more due to the lost of economy of scale & overhead cost to create totally new model for the evo.

if
didnt create the base lancer there would'nt be an "Evolution" in the first place.. probably some cheesy sports car name with a 4 door or something..

There are a lot of differences in the car though, and no one can deny that. Really, the only things that are similar are the trunk, audio equipment, and interior panels.

well it depends on who your talking to. some people see the evo as a lancer with Turbo,AWD, and a widebody kit which is basically true along with other small things. but that debate can go on forever just like how the RA is supposedly a detuned evo and closer similarities to the evo than lancer
