Lancer Evolution XI goes hybrid [merge]
i also hope the 0% APR comes along with it.
i remember last year at chicago auto show there was a mitsubishi supercar or something with a 2.4L turbo diesel...maybe they will consider something like that for the future generation of evos..
There is no way subie is not upping the hp on the sti, just no way given the 09 wrx's performance. Mitsu has to do something to keep up. Besides, within 100 miles of the Los Angeles area, there are 180 Evo's still up for sale. Oh, and about 5 stis. So unless Subie is shipping out a lot less STI's, hatch = win despite the superior performance of the Evo.

The 11 has been announced and it appears it'll come running on only 3 cylinders. It'll come straight from the factory with the short block already grenaded since it will now be made out of tin vs the aluminum they've chosen with the X. Can't wait
that deal was for the 08 STi's, I was talking about the 09's. Besides, Mitsu has the same deal for the Evo's plus 60 months 0%apr.
Actually Mitsu already thought and considered this back in 2005 when they were thinking about creating the MIEV Evo IX, so if the demand does grow in the electric field, there's a good probability the MIEV Evo will see the light of day.
Edit:
When you compare the MIEV to that of the original evo the differnce isn't too much:
Evo IX
Power Output: 289 bhp
0-100: 12.7
Evo IX MIEV
Power Output: 268
0-100: 7.4
