High Resolution PICS - EVO X GSR
btw i should have asked this in my last post......
Is this maybe the NEW wrx model of the EVO... smaller wheels, 30 less whp and maybe slightly cheaper interior..."for like $26,000" maybe they will call it a lancer evolution and the new evo will just be called X (like racer X from speed racer
)

The 6 was the last real evo the 7-9 were just a decline. I think the x is good just not a lancer anymore. as for the bock the new one will be way better for balancing and from an engineers POV more useful. Just because the old block was good for 1200 hp doesn't mean it is way better, most people never get it over 400bhp anyway. Ill prob get a ralliart or gsx or what ever they call it that goes between the evo and gts because of rally classes and daily driving, just my $0.02
Well Mits did go in a new direction with an all new platform.. Maybe they foresee how they were moving away from WRC and don't have such tight regulations on what they needed to do with the car.. So they said ***** it, and created a whole new beast.. To me it seems that this car is aimed at running at the track with it's handling technology.. It's only a matter of time before someone turns this thing into a nasty track king.. The power can be fixed I'm sure.. The looks can be altered, as we all know the aftermarket will go NUTS with this car, creating bodykits and such.. Just relax my little EVO minions... It'll all be good in due time..

No offense but handling any better than the 9 would just be useless for a standard everyday driver..
Everyone talks about how great the car can handle and how it will handle better than the evo 9... SO WHAT! how many people will actually use that MINOR difference...
Car is getting to be a luxury car and will eventually be over priced and underperformed like the others in like mid 90's
whatever dude
we are the customers and big corps like mitsu, will listen to their customers if they wana keep themselfs in business...... dont
dont you know about target marketing,,, they target in this case people like you and me and we are the one who dictates what product they should make and how it takes mitsu months of research
,,,thats all the marketing dept does is get feed back from the consumer to see what the consumer wants,, by research and consensus

May be it will come to US on 2009, just like when 2003 EVO 8 did not has the RS
trim, but the RS coming on 2004 !!

Some of you guys just dont get it...
So than what's the point of Evolution? Not in the car, but just in the term?
Good thing your not an exec over at Mitsubishi, will be calling it the Lancer De-Evoluton - 10.
... but there are more people who accept and welcome the change than those that don't. Face it, your in a small pool that Mitsubishi calls "sorry better luck next time', .
People are acting like no 4G63 is something new. Hello?! Where have yall been for the past 2 years? Living under a planet I'd say. Don't you guys know anything the process called "Evolution"? In a short term "To Evolve". Yeah... look it up, you might learn a thing or two.
You do realize that 90% of Evo owners are like 2% of the automotive market in a whole. Mitsubishi wants to make this car as enjoyable as possible to wide range of people, they want to step outside the enthusiast market and try to sell outside the niche market if possible. I agree with Mitsubishi, whatever it takes to keep them in US Soil, by all means do it.
Who is pissed off? You? A couple hundred people across a Mitsubishi automotive forum and? Who cares... get over. Your are a small precentage of the market that Mitsubishi sold too. They need to step outside the box and do thing differently or you'll start getting service and warranty work at Dodge / Chrysler dealership. Also your acting like this is a radical change, look closey... yeah look at the X it still shares a resembles to the pass IX, not as much as the IX to VIII or VIII to VII but you can see there is till a bit of the outgoing model in the X.

MITSUBISHI IF YOU READ THIS YOU GUYS NEED TO GO BACK TO THE 4G63
HERITAGE ENGINE THATS A MUST, AND ALSO TO THE EVO 8/9 BODY STYLE THEY LOOK MUCH MORE AGRESSIVE, THERE IS LOTS OF CUSTOMERS OUT HERE THAT AGREEGood thing your not an exec over at Mitsubishi, will be calling it the Lancer De-Evoluton - 10.

. This is not a evo.. Its just badged as an evolution.. NO 4G63..? WTF is up with that.. obviously they are targeting the wrong people.. the people who know nothing about its history.. and just like new innovative vehicles for what they have heard.
And yes I have a IX but that's only because I couldn't afford an 8 at the time it came out.. otherwise I would have an 8.. and look at the IX as improvement.. but what has happened across this board.. many dislike the X unlike when the IX came out there was way less HATRED towards than IX than their is to the X..

ill have to agree with that, they are definatly trying to target a widder market,,, although this topic will be ver controverssial,, since enveryone is entiteled to thei own opinion,,,
my argument is and it will be from prolly 90% of evo owners,, that the heritage engine 4G63 is one that has history and lost of research gone into by people like Buschur,, ams, and many many others,,,

Of course I see the FMIC, but that's not the point..
My argument is that it could of been launched as a new platform like Project X, or anything else besides lancer evolution.. why..? cuz its a new motor, chassis, tranny, interior, etc etc etc.. do I need to go on.. everything is so different and not just that it holds no image reflection to what it has been b4.. where the f*** is the evolution in that.. I could look at all models I through IX and am able to see a resemblance amongst all of those models.
I see a X and am scratching my head like how the f*** did mitsu go to that.. no evolution what so ever.. so why badge it and make ppl pissed off as they have not delivered an evolved platform.. instead they have delivered a whole new ball game.
The 4B11 maybe edgy but it has no place to be the heart of an evolution.. I would have more respect if it were in a car of its own.. not our EVO..

I think the Financial losses hurt the rally program so the lancer will evlove to replace the galant and a totally new platform will emerge targeting the subcompact with turbo awd for the rally program once the money is worked, the new lancer is targeted to follow subarus formula to generate income.
