Evo X took a step back!
Also, they are no longer marketing the car to the younger tuner croud. It was announced that they are looking for an older croud as well as women to buy the car and they had to accomodate it for that kind of market. Like the auto trans, more lux interior, cruise control and all that. They are stepping up the game to compete with other markets around the world like bmw, volvo, and so forth.
As I said it is not a next gen evolution it is a new breed. Thus it does not appeal to me and to many of the current evo owners. I'll buy a new sti when they enter my price range.
When's the last time you've seen a drag car from japan? Hardly ever. They dont engineer cars for drag like we have muscle cars and all that that were made for racing and all that. They produce cars for an all around driving experience. If u know circut racing there are so many in japan. There is more to a car other than 0-60 speed. how about 70-120? Ever seen that ford commerical or somethin. That kind of speed is needed with a really good handling as its been known since the beginning the Evolution was engineered for as it was a rally car. Even if the car had 200hp from factory it still would get around the circut very fast and it would surprise u what it would beat. The car puts u in the back of the seat.

Its a new beginning for mitsu as from here on you will see alot of changes come from the X onward in the Evoluion.
so dont cry about .5 of a second. if u are. this is not the car for u. go get a C5/6 to get u off while goin down the 1320.

MITSU IS TRYING TO BE EVERYTHING TO EVERYBODY, RALLY CAR, LUXURY CAR, RACE CAR. THIS IS HOW YOU LOSE YOUR IDENTITY AND MITSU IS ON IT's WAY TO DOING THAT WITH THE EVO. STICK TO ONE THING AND GO WITH IT
Name 1 major car company other than Ferrari who isn't doing that.
yeah -wait till that sh*tty @ss srt4 leaves you in the dust! While you sip you coffee waiting for it to get to 60mph! And when you pull over youll say to the young kid that just smacked you...Well this thing drives nice and and it goes around a corner fast.

it is marketed more toward mainstraim people. Most buyers probably wouldn't bother racing any srt-4's anyway. Mitsu has changed it's direction and moved "up" just like all the manufacturers did a while ago. Look at honda, nissan etc. everybody nowadays wants luxury, and that's where the money's at
They are POS anyways, why are you comparing it to an EVO?
