First U.S. Review of the Evo IX
The good boys at Edmund's have been kind enough to share their views of the new Evo 9 after being one of the first to drive, but more importantly the first to relay their views.
Here you go,

Definitely sounds exciting... And I think I agree with their assessment.
Make mine a Black MR with a Gurney flap... and I'll add the JDM rear bumper.
Cheers.

my favorite line in the article is the last line
"Make ours a black MR with a Gurney Flap."
too bad the mr doesnt come in tarmac black......
this could either be a hint that the mr will be available in black, or an article written by a guy who really doesnt know the evo?

Funny how the 03's and 04's doesn't have this. My question is that did they add the 5,500 rpm rev limiter to the 5-speed? Or is the 5-speed just that strong
