HI

Anybody know where be debut EVO X?

 

I heard Tokyo.

 

Tokyo in October is when Mitsubishi is scheduled to debut the EVO X to the world with all the specs and stuff. What I am really interested in is if the LA Auto Show will also see the EVO X, the LA Auto Show is November 14-25 and it would be great for Mitsubishi to introduce the North American version there where a very large portion of EVOs are sold.

 

Tokyo.

 

Nobody outside mitsu knows for sure.

 

I heard Frankfurt

 

There was an article not too long ago that claimed it was originally supposed to be Frankfurt but the date slipped and now it's Tokyo. Maybe they'll announce the specs in Frankfurt and have the car in Tokyo?

 

They are probably keeping it ambiguous until they know for sure where the GTR will be. Better not to unveil next to that thing, or noone will notice.

 

The hot money is that the EVO X will be at Sydney Motor Show in Australia (Source someone from Ralliart in Australia), which is a week before the Tokyo Motor Show.

My money is on that the car will be debut at Frankfurt for the European market.

Also EVO X was spotted in Canberra Australia yesterday for testing.

I reckon the debut will be
Frankfurt - European Market
Sydney - Australian Market
Tokyo - Japanese Market
LA - US Market

 

neither.

 

I take that to mean it will be revealed at the LA autoshow for the US, not the world.

 

i say Evo X, Frankfurt
Lancer Ralliart, Tokyo

 

Sweet, specific areas for specific markets... definitely look forward to WHEN the LA unveiling jump starts.... speaking of WHEN....
bleh... that's one possibility I was worried about... which also has me wondering what's Subaru's strategy since they're moreso our competition (or if they're also doing the same thing).

IF that was the case then what if Nissan is just waiting for Mitsu & Subaru to unveil their cars before just one upping them with the GT-R... in which case we'll be deadlocked on who comes out with what

 

I don't think the Skyline GTR will be an issue, since it's not really competition. It's pricetag is rumoured to be just like it was when it was in it's prime = Porsche 911/ BMW M5 level, 70-80k. It's always been marketed as a premium sports car. So i'm thinking that won't matter when it comes into 's strategy on release.

 

^^ I think the issue is that Mitsu does not want thier unveiling of the Evo X to be upstaged by the unveiling of the GTR. Even though the Evo X is a big deal, the GTR might overshadow it in the media's coverage of the show.
