Actually, maybe instead of Mitsu having an Evo and an Evo MR, they will just make ONE model and market this as the Evo and not anything else.

So many of you make me laugh so hard.. Then reality sets in, and I hope for darwinism.. Oh well.

What's with using the curb as a jack stand? Ouch.

Dude, be glad the AYC doesnt' come here.

Ask any UK owner what they think of the AYC and they will tell you it is crap.

Having said that, anyone know what's that button on the passenger-side armrest in this pic (top right)?

It looks like the window lock button, but that doesn't make sense, since this a LHD vehicle.

A RHD conversion probably.

Have you ever seen a engineering test mule? In all likelihood it is a converted RHD car. Blacked-out MR style LHD headlights probably do not exist yet.

Great work on the photos. Someone in MI give the guy a ride in an Evo!

KAhmed79, send your photos to Autoweek. You might get lucky and they'll put them in the mag.

I like the BBS forge alloys and the bilstein dampers!! The only thing i noticed that Evo MR should have blacked out headlights and tailights? and a flat black color wing side pillars? Anyways, nice pics!!

Folks, calm down and think a little before you nit-pick the blacked out headlights and tail lights and the non-carbon fiber wing supports or the black color... the MR (or standard evo for that matter) also don't come from the factory with a hacked up shifter console... that should tell you something. just FYI.

And I'd like to say THANKs for all the pics you took...

The switch on the passenger side looks like it is for power locks. Usually both front passengers have power door lock switches.

all evo spoilers are carbon fiber it's just that the sides are painted
