Evo X looks far better by a mile, and those ppl saying they don't like it will soon change their minds once its on the street and i can gaurantee that. I don't think mitsu will let their halo car be ****. The jump is the exact jump from the 6 to the 7. It might take awhile but soon the X will look better. Once it's out it will surely make the 9 look dated. Im going to place my bets that the X will be a better performer than all the existing evo's, i am sure mitsu engineers know's wtf they are doing and dealing with.

To add to this like he said ---^ its hard to hate something you drive so of course you're goign to say the 8 and 9 looks better

Performing out the box maybe.. but as a true performer.. not

Despite having a bit more crank HP.. I dnt is gonna make up for all the other stuff that is going on the car.. let's not even talk about the MR.. let's take a RS for example. Regardless that **** is gonna have like 7 airbags as well.. so compared to an IX MR.. that RS is going to be the chubby one..

Can you say weight:Power ratio.. yeah despite it having a lighter motor.. so what.. an advantage is going to be weight distribution which is good but when ppl attempt to mess with it.. oh man is going to be fun.. Warranties go left and right.. now imagine the X.. same thing buddy..

Tell me Aluminum is not a great conductor of heat.. that's why they got them iron sleeves in there buddy boy.. but again its engineering.. I doubt the bish was engineered to withstands more than what they are already giving it. Out the box once again is gonna be good but once someone tries to bump the boost up, install a bigger turbo which btw is not gonna be that easy now cuz am like 99% sure they are going to invert the bish just like the lancer.. all that aluminum crap is gonna go bye bye..

Many say mitsu is not gonna let their flagship car down.. of course not.. its gonna perform better than a stock IX.. but beyond that point they already have let us down..

Now hating something you drive.. i dont hate the evo itself cuz its in my financial situation the best bang for the buck.. but when it comes to it.. I enjoyed my 06 350Z even more.. the only thing it wasn't was faster than a evo..

I'll post a poll amongst 100 ladies.. which one looks better.. a 350Z or a Evo.. got 100 bux the Z takes the majority of the votes.. I had chicks walk up to me cuz the car did the talking.. something that with the evo barely happends.

One thing I learned about Vehicle Industry is when they build the best car. They would build another one that’s better than the best. They don’t go down grade, they upgrade. Same issue with Evo. Evo 8 & 9 is the best and I am 100% percent that Evo X would be better than the best or else it would not make sense building another one.

I'd get one just so I can sit inside to play with the buttons other than that, getting out of the car and seeing what I'm driving I'd be like wtf am I driving??

Im voting VIII cause i love mine, however I like the look of the X

I think alot of you need to get on with life, it doesnt look like no fuggin audi or space ship. It looks more like a is350 (back) f@#ked a Acura MDX (front).

I personally think it looks nice and i cant wait to see it roll out.

I don’t own an Evo yet because I’m waiting for X and I can easily say I like Evo 8 & 9, But I am more likely to buy X. why? 1) Because it’s newer. 2) New design. 3) More airbags (lancer has 7, so I wonder how many on evo? LOL).
If your referring to me, then I have to point out that Im not mad. In fact I do believe the X is waaay better looking than the current gen Evos and am really excited about it . Evo X all the way broda . Oh btw, I dont own an Evo anymore recently got traded .

Lets just hold all the speculations until someone actually get their hands on one. Then lets wait for tuners to start extracting numbers and see what the potential of the new motor is. SR20s are aluminum block as well and they have proven to withstand abuses, so only time will tell .

Agreed, besides has Mitsu really let us down. Sure they watered down our Evos, but still it didnt disappoint us.

Aluminum disperses heat faster then any steel block wishes it could and the steel sleeves are for the high compression ratio and high PSI. The 4b11 is going to make the 4g fans wish they had a 4b. And if ur buying ur car just to impress some shotgun tramps ur buying ur car for the wrong reason. The X will no doubt rule the evo world (dont get me wrong i love all the EVO,s) the Frame itself is 40% stiffer than the old EVO and thats just for starters.

If you need a car to attract a woman that means you are lacking in something in your manhood department.
