Evo X took a step back!
like I said b4.. this hunk of junk makes any 17yr old with a permit look like a super start on a circuit track..
Yes, hence its technology it s pretty outstanding in that aspect but any real true evolutionist will tell you that... this is not what a LANCER EVOLUTION IS ALL ABOUT..
All you have to do now is just steer and hit the paddles..
NEGATIVE.. it sucks in alot of aspects too..

and get spanked by everyone else from a roll and a dig.. I doubt it will respond to mods as well as the IX did..

and yeah i know that the yellow one is a 7, but they all share the same basic shape
well, ur opinion is that the x looks ugly and like a lot of (imo good looking cars), my opinion is that your generation looks like an IS, but i think youre too blind to admit it....and im not saying the IS is ugly either, so i dont know why you are always so negative

A lot of what you are saying is just speculation and or personal opinions...I think the same way to a point...I think the iX was the last of its kind...while the X is a new breed that should not have been branded with EVOLUTION emblem...Also we don't know how the X will respond to mods...what we do know is that the 4g63t has plenty support from the aftermarket to make the car as fast as how deep your pockets are...the same cannot be said about the X since it will take aftermarket companies prolly around 2 years to come out with parts that really make a difference instead of BS parts like a K&N filter...etc...etc...well you get the point...There's a nice photoshop of the X floating around here...I will see if I can dig it up...now if it looked like that...it would be a whlole different story...
Should of sticked with Prototype X or Lance X or someting along those lines.
well, im just saying all cars look alike to one another nowadays...this is to the people who say o, it looks like a tsx, audi, r34 gt-r...these people are acting as if those 3 cars are the pontiac aztec or something
NEGATIVE.. it sucks in alot of aspects too..

E39a Galant owners probably didn't like the fact WRC rules changed and Mitsu had to go with a "smaller" car to compete in the WRC. The 4G63 being put into a smaller, less solid, cheaper car and whatever negative they could of pointed out.
Then....
Wow..the 4G63 in the more lighter Lancer, its faster and more nimble. The Evo 1-3 owners were living in bliss. Then the news of the new chassis Lancer Evo..more heavier with a new 4G63, but transversed. They probably said the Evo 4-6 was heavier, bigger, and new unknown technology that may of been intimidating. So they stated their negatives on the new chassis Evo
then....
Amazing...the new 4G63 is more powerful and responsive. The stiffer chassis and improve suspension and braking makes the car more appealing, introduction of the twin scroll turbo. Super AYC and Active Yaw control makes these generation Evo's more superior to its competitors. Evo owners of these generations were living in bliss. Then the news of the Evo 7...they probably stated the negative. The Evo 7 being much more heavier,, not as aggressive looking, more bigger and any other negative attribute that could be pointed out.
Then....
Unbelievable..the Evo 7-9 is amazing on corners, faster, a bit more refined, etc etc. Continued to evolve..with addition to a 6 speed tranny, aluminum panels, aerodymanic improvements, MIVEC unitlized, etc etc. What else could be better? Then news of the Evo X...more heavier,no more 4G63, drastic design, slower in the straights, etc etc
Geez...seems like there is a pattern. The Evo is "evolving" and give it a chance.

Also, they are going to have to make tweaks to get it to run well on US CA 91 fuel, so there is a chance it'll get improved to even exceed the JVM spec testings thats been much talked about.
Yeah...you know what I guess I am one of those muthaf*ckers...simply because I am not brand loyal fanboy that gives praises to the new model each time it comes out...so what is your point? I should like every new model that
comes out with...like the eclipse huh? I said it before and I will say this again...just because there's a new model out does not mean that it is better...I like the new technology in the X...not a big fan of the X not having the 4g63 motor in it...but time will tell if the new 4B11t will be better or not...my biggest problem are the looks of the X...if I have to see the car in person to determine if I like it...then obvioulsy is a flaw in the design don't ya think...
I am not alone in this...there's a thread...its about the X and its expactation 45% 55% last time I checked...let me know if you can't find it...I'll help you out...

. I have posted many times that I am in fact a little disappointed with the EVO X. I guess my disappointment comes from expecting way to much, but I have not held back criticism when criticism has been deserved. But you and some other EVO X haters have just taken the criticism a little too far, far enough that it begins to show that observations are not filled with intellectual insight, but some deep rooted hate or something. I mean seriously take the time to review your own posts and then you will see just how ridiculous some of your comments have been...let me know if you can't find them...I'll help you out...
Its human nature to be afraid of something different....as this applies as the new X is about to make its debut. I will admit that I had some concerns when news that the good ol' 4G63 was ending production, but reading up on the new 4B11t and seeing how well the N/A 4B11 in the Lancers are responding well to mods and my confidence in Mitsu's engineering...I think this motor won't disappoint. ( I am hoping
). It was only time when the 4G63's run would end... all the "great" engines of the past have, but were precursors to better engines that replaced them. If guys are complaining about the aluminum block being able to handle lots of HP's....GM's "LS" motors have, Nissan SR20's have, and good built honda B and K series have been doing it for years. The 4G63 lasted 20+ years...it was inevitable that stricter emission mandates and today's technology powertrain engineering would exceed the 4G63's design.
If looks and asthetics are the root of your opinion of this car..to each his/hers own, thats your opinion. Its a poor reason to discredit the whole car for that reason..especially if something has much more to offer in other areas. Reading early reviews and seeing the pics released...the Evo X is much more refined. With all the years of Mitsu owners or ex Mitsu owners complaining about cheap interior parts and boring mundane interior and exteriors...now that Mitsu built something with quality, people find more to complain about.
I just find it annoying when people shoot down something, someone, somewhere, etc etc before they experience or personally get to know themselves whatever it is has to offer and make a more creditable opinion.
Sincerely

The new sti is more powerful and lighter then the previous version, the new evo is heavier and more powerful. I think thats enough to be pissed. They should have kept the car going in the same direction like subaru did instead of chasing sales numbers are profit.
Its not the same type as its predecessors the most recent road and track review made that clear, it doesn't have the same precise steering feel, if it doesn't feel like an evo it isn't one. The STI is what the new evo should have been. An evolution of the current car, not a differen't kind of vehicle entirely.
I'll take my cheap plastic interior and road noise, thats why I bought the car I wanted a raw mean awd beast. If I want to get something similar in the future it looks like i'll be in the market for an sti.
