I think most people are upset because the X is different, which is to be expected. If it weren't, and looked just like the IX with a few tweaks, people would complain about "more of the same." And do we know for sure every X will include these special features like cruise control? No RS versions with minus the features?

That said, I'm on the line with the paddle shifters. They could be fun I suppose, but then again it still takes zero-skill to drive properly. Maybe it's ego, but I enjoy the fact that if you want to drive an Evo IX you have to know how to drive it. Not that learning to drive a stick is that big of a deal, but becoming good at driving one takes time and effort. Hell, it's cool owning a car that your best friend envies, and can't even drive himself.

 

X looks the goods to me. its a more sophisticated, "design" oreintated look. in other words mitsubishi cares enough about its future to make its evo brand a global success.

perhaps not in the eyes of the tuner community which i understand because the 4G63 is a classic and the purity of the IX might never be again.

 

I bet evyeorne sayign the Evo x looks ugly now will take their words back once it hits the streets and your evo 8s/9s look outdated sitting at a redlight by one

 

I love everything about the Evo X, I just hate the rear end. The rear end is ugly as ****.

 

true that, I ****ing hate the rear end.

 

Evolution means to Evolve, So it's time to see some evloving in which they did! I love the final design i think it ccdents the good parts of the car, however i do not like the way the engine will be positioned and the car will be a little heavier, other then that no one can reall comment on the motor yet cause no one has made anythning for it yet, btu only time will tell....

 

overall, i think mitsubishi did a good job. very hard to replicate a classic and they have moved away a little from their roots but im sure its still a very quick car with great handling. september is too long away...

 

I like the look of X, wonder what are they gonna put on the X MR?

anyway, just hope we will have identical features from JDM model X, same turbo everything...

 

was i mistaken or did i actually see dual exhaust on the vid of the unvailing of the X

 

I would love to finally see that dame thing in person

 

the X def loses style points. its hideous. its taking on a more american look.

 

i think they want to branch out to more consumers, i like the IX because its simple, straght to the point. the only reason i like the X is the fact that it has more hp, thats all i like.

 

im honestly thinking x is going to be hot......

 

one of the biggest complaints about the IX and VIII bodystyles is that they werent as eyecatching as some of the other sport cars, despite what most of you would probably flame me for.

but im the type who is more interested in performance rather than looks. don't get me wrong i wouldn't drive a frame with a 500-hp motor on there, but the EvoX doesn't look like it's gone horribly wrong.

We'll see how it goes on the track. _

 

Time to switch to the darkside, Subaru.
