Let's see changes between the MR's.

Black steering wheel
New rear bumper with diffuser
New front bumper
Different material seats
MIVEC only variable timing
Fake carbon fibre trim
New pedals
Revised turbos
Rear spoiler lip.

This time the car did not evolve as expected.

I wanted to see.

S-AYC for MR.
Double Din
Auto climate controls.

I love my 03 Evo VIII. But I want the updated EVO IX. I want the new Mivec engine, turbo and ACD. Also the 10 year 100,000 mile warrenty.
Here I come Evo IX.

Watered down or not, its still a work of art. But that diffuser had better be there :P
If not, there's gonna be one helluva market for import parts...anybody got a friend in Japan who can ship rear diffusers and double-DIN plates/stereos/controls? =^_^=

They didnt show the back of it in the article. Although this is the first LHD IX pics I have seen.
