Lancer Evolution XI goes hybrid [merge]
If i was Mitsu, for the next evolution, i would add another 300lb of weight, keep the power the same as now, and add more comform and luxury items to compete with lexus, cause apparently thats the new target competitor,
oh and of course i would raise the base price to like $50k or so.....

Seriously... lets lighten the next gen up some eh?
I'm looking forward to the Evo XIII. That's when the chassis change will take place, or at least it has historically, Hopefully, Mitsubishi learned something from this and will design and offer an Evo more in stride with market expectation. Please forgive me for the pessimistic outlook, but I think that we're stuck with the current chassis for now.
lol
personally, Im waiting for Evo XLVI. sometime, in the year.... xxxx..... by then, most car companies will have ceased to exist, and companies like Mitsu, will surely have been bought up by one of the 3 remaining conglomerates, VW, MB/BMW, or Toyota. so lets look into the future and see all the way ... to the year... 2000 .....
VW bought up Mitsu, and renamed the Lancer to 'Squirrel'. which fit right in with the Fox and Rabbit. The Squirrel received a much needed body & chassis and engine upgrades. it now rides on the audi A6/A8 chassis, which is significantly softer and more accommodating than any previous Evos, so owners finally stopped complaining that Evos are too small, rough and rugged. The Squirrel weighs approximately 4850 lb, because of all the Federal safety and emissions regulations, and because Mitsu just felt that an Evo, oops, i mean Squirrel, isnt an Evo without such necessary features & amenities as a microwave oven and a minibar inside the glovebox, 9" monitors built inside the rear-view mirrors (connected to a, then-brand-new, just released, Playstation 19, with little microchips already surgically built into your brain, so that you control and play the games by just thinking), full leather and suede engine compartment, "safety foam" which fills up the Interior and freezes in case of an accident, and of course, third row seating...
Since gasoline is outlawed throughout the world, The engine is 'Compound Tandem Steam Engine with Receiver'. based on old theories of the 'stupid and insignificant past', but with many modern features to make it safe and environmentally friendly, it potentially makes a stout 8000Hp, but is restricted by the factory to make 63hp, because, hey, who looks for HP in an Evo... damnit, i meant Squirrel

I called the dealer by me and he said he cant order 09 evos at all. so whatever that means. do a search on the 09 lancer evo on google and you wont get ****?????
but he did say he was dropping the prices on the 08 evos so he can make room for the 09's whenever they come out.
