Mitsubishi Motors North America. I recommend searching before you show up yourself like that again.

 

Go back and read posts from when the Evo VIII was announced. This is nothing.

 

I would not use an Edmunds article to be the determining factor as to what Mitsu is doing with their new flagship car, unless it quoted designers and engineers directly. I believe it was SCC that quoted Dr. Evo himself as saying the only target for the Evo X, was to beat the Evo IX. Period. That should be enough to quiet the fanboys that want to hate, but it won't. Fanboys talk trash, what ya gonna do.

Mitsubishi Motors North America

 

i reccomend you **** off cause it was just a question dick

 

However, directions change. Dr. Evo doesn't make the final decision as to what Mitsubishi Motors will do with the X. It's the executives that are charged with bringing Mitsubishi Motors out of the American gutter. I'm sure if Dr. Evo were to have his way, he'd keep the Evo as raw as ever, the focus to remain on performance.

Before someone gets emotional, let it be known that I'm not trying to get into a pissing contest here. I'm offering some food for thought, some fuel to feed the discussion.

 

Gilliam, I recommend that you keep it civil and tone it down. Hell, I recommend you edit your thread before the mods see it. Such attitude is gonna get you banned from this forum fast. Just keeping it real, buddy. Searching is the way to go. Question in your mind and search with your computer. You'd be amazed at what you can find on your own.

 

Round here, we call it flamebait! lol

jk, I hear what you're saying, and in my opinion you're absolutely right. The moneymakers are the ones that make the car more accessible. To me, the idea of more kids owning evo's and doing their gangsta lean takes away from the purity of the car, but oh well, it makes more sales for Mitsu.

Then again, they thought making a PG-13 Die Hard (blasphemy!) would get more butts in the seats...what's that movie at now? 9th? 10th place? lol

It's a gamble whether or not the new Evo will be embraced by a larger audience, one not quite so dedicated to driving as the "purists" out there, but only time will tell.

 

The X is still targeted for WRC Group-N. That part hasn't changed at all. And you can bet that the X should perform on par with, if not above the Cedia based Evos. If can do that _and_ give us a more comfy car, then I'm all for it.

And people reaaaallly need to get over the paddle shifters. Geeez! If you don't like the semi-automatic, then buy ... the ... 5-speed. The inclusion of a non-manual tranny is long overdue and will only help to sell the car in the U.S.

Calm down. He just asked a simple question and you gave him attitude for it. How do you expect someone to respond when you speak to them in such a way? Remember, sarcasm is near-impossible to pick up on a forum.

 

I'm completely calm. Boring calm. I understand what you mean, rane. However, I believe simple questions should be answered with Google, not while interrupting.

 

I understand that. But what you just said was speculation. What I said was a factual quote. I choose to believe that they are going to make the car better then the IX because of what the lead designer wants. Not speculate that the car will suck becuase of "what might happen."

Then don't be a douche when someone asks a simple question.

 

Factual, yes, but how old was that article? 2005-ish maybe?

As for me needing to calm down or being a douche, that's fair. I easily could've been perceived to have been showing an attitude. That was not my intention, however. I'm sorry to those whom I offended, sincerely.

 

I believe the CT9A wasnt very well recieved either when the CP9A when out.

 

Focus-based performer for a focus-based performer. It was more a question of looks then, right? I'm seriously asking here.

And just because the X will be softer, less hard-edged, doesn't mean it's gonna suck. Really, do M3s suck?

 

i'm so sorry for interupting a thread Its not like i asked you specifically, that acronym kept coming up so i asked and it took you what.........half a second to type it??
