Some photos of evo-X, could be repost
I think it looks good, especially compared to the IX (which I never liked) but it still isn't as aggresive looking as I wish it was (like many said, looks too much like a regular Lancer now...)
135i FTW for sure, especially if they make a 135xi that drives as good as the i (the 335xi and i models drive a whole lot different and the xi doesn't feel nearly as sporty, nor is it quite as fast). Awd coupe with more power and less weight than the Evo? And 4yr/50k miles free service? The 135/335 were my second choice after the Porsche, too bad BMWs X-drive dumbs the car down too much for my taste, I needs my AWD for winter here, otherwise I'd probably be in a 335i now.

this is what I dont like:
It seems odd the way the Intercooler looks on the X as well as its bents compared to the INtercooler on the previous evo generations. What i mean is that it doesnt look as clean as previous generations:

still not sure about the looks, but as others have said, have to see it in person. But I tell you this, its growing on me, and Im starting to like it, except for the dual exhaust .. I mean dual exhaust on a 4cyl engine ???? WtF ?
would never sell my 8 to get X , thats for sure.. As a 2nd Evo ? hmmm possible lolz

I'm still trying to reserve judgement until I see it in person. I am, however, for the first time disappointed in how similar it is to the Lancer in looks. The new Lancer looks AMAZING for a cost-effective sedan. The X should look even better and stand on it's own two (or four, in this case) feet. We'll see what it looks like in the showroom.

i like it
i could care less that it looks similar to a regular lancer, it just means that mitsu is building more efficiently by sharing parts...
and the wrx sti, m3, civic si look similar to the regular versions, but they are still popular

A 3 series with a M-kit looks exactly like a M3.

well not entirely...an M3 has the wider fenders
i mean, from the looks of the X it only shares the front doors, roof (maybe), glass, and the trunk lid from a regular lancer, which are all similar to the differences bt the M3 and a 3 series, so i dont know why there is so much hate on how the X "looks to much like a regular lancer"
