Why are we sharing the exact same interior with the base Lancer? Give me some gauges too! How about some REAL Recaro's that Mitsu didn't make and add the name "Recaro" onto? Those damn things feel so cheap to me... Plus, they're heavy. I understand that these cars are made for Rally, but could we please get a wider track to go with our wide fenders? Even a wheel with a lower offset would help that out. Better paint is a must, some LED taillights w/o a pink lens, lol. Oooh, a pushbutton start for the F.A.S.T. key system instead of the stock-placed ignition switch.... That's it for now, besides all the displacement/power upgrade stuff previously mentioned.
P.S. A slightly larger fuel tank wouldn't hurt either.

I would love to just see light weight. I think 3000 lb. max. With AWD and all of the other amazing traction aids that the evo has, 300 hp would be perfect (not to say that more wouldn't be better) 
I would just really like to see a light weight car. Everything has been getting bigger and heavier. To me that's the completely wrong direction.

i share others' sentiments - reduce weight by about 300lb, add about 50hp, and please please please do something about the design of the nose and the tail...
if you're going to charge $40 large for a "Mitsu", please make sure it looks good, and performs better than a generic G35 sedan... not even mentioning the Cobalt SS...

I say clean up the front end by creating a seamless one piece hood instead of that nasty plastic extension. I believe the original concept's hood extends all the way to the front. This is in addition to rest of the posts. BTW, any aftermarket hoods available like what I just described?

I agreed with Skyblas ... Also I think it would be nice for them to do the trial run in the endurance race like the Lemans Series with the Turbo Diesel. Run cleaner stay on the road longer and of course alternative fuel = - D ....
It seems like the trend right now is to make the car smaller and lighter, but since the Evo X is based on a new platform, I don't see this happening. SST with upgraded cooler, and a super duper awesome 6mt that can take 500 awhp LOL!

How are they behind in times? They have some of the most advanced technology in these 4 cylinders than any company out there. They have some of the fastest times and speeds of any 4 cylinders..
Stop dreaming about bigger engines in the Evo... It's a rally car. 2 Liters for a reason. It's called "Group N".
And looking back to Subaru doing the 2.5L... Look at the tuners, what do they do? Destroke or put a Spec-C 2.0L motor in there (believe it or not... Group N.)
