Mitsubishi EVO X Real World Photos
We have been drooling over the Mitsubishi EVO X in its various concept incarnations over the past few years. With the EVO X final production version photos officially released this past April, prototype testing of the EVO X is not exactly spicy spy news anymore. However, not all spy news has to be breaking.
Surely, the press photos show us how the car looks like with a blank white background (as seen in the photos in the link above) or highly airbrushed scenery, but they don't always give a contextual sense of the car. So here they are for the hardcore EVO fans, photos of a finished EVO X prototype at the Nürburgring giving us a first look at the car in the "real world" without camouflage.
Expected to be showrooms early 2008 as a 2009 model, the EVO X will be available with a five-speed manual gearbox or optional automated 6-speed manual transmission. Bosses in Europe are expecting a massive 80 percent of all EVO X models to be ordered with the automated paddleshift gearbox, which operates in three modes. Although drivers always have manual control, they can choose from Normal, Sport and the most serious SuperSport settings. The final mode has been designed for use on track, allowing changes to higher gears only when they are absolutely necessary to keep the revs near peak power at all times. Standard EVO X models will be more expensive than the outgoing IX, with entry-level 300bhp variants costing more than 42,000 Euros.

I'm going to say the X is more along the lines of a TSX with a wing than a s60, at least from the side anyway. Especially the headlight & taillight lines.
I really don't like hatches, and hence don't like the new STI's style.

I, too, seem to be on the opposite end of this when I say the X looks nice. I, personally, like the dual exhaust. Sure, the rear looks a little like the Mazda 6, but the X is amazing. Looks at how many people say the VIII's and IX's are hideous. I think people will feel differently when you start driving by X's on the road.
The STi...well, not feeling it. It will be a good contender in the European market, where that look is more common. I just don't know until I see one in person.
