He obviously needs to go back to school and learn Roman numerals. The next car after the IX will be the X. Yes, the IX does have MIVEC.

Actually it was just the "Evolution" until the next one came out 2 years later...at which point the first Evo was dubbed Evo I and the second, naturally, Evo II.

About the MIVEC thing...the rep's on crack. But he's partially rite about the Evo "I" thing. A magazine (i'll go look for it later) was talking to Mitsu Japan about the EvoX and their representative was talking about speculations that the Evo might go back to the beginning of the line. Yah know...new engine so maybe new "species". I'll go find the magazine now. He's partially rite but it's not set in stone what Mitsu's going to do.

OK..once again the magazine eludes me but I beleive it was a MT within the last 4 months that was doing a spot on the EvoIX. There was a lil insert at the bottom about the EvoX. I'm not lying I swear. Sorry I'd love to quote the insert too...

So you could be looking at Evo 1, take two. Uhhh, someone needs to tell these guys what they're messing with.
