Potential EVO Changes
From recent article on new Outlander Sport: http://www.autoweek.com/article/2010...YORK/100409984
The entry-level Sport, which will start at about $19,000 when it goes on sale this fall, offers all of the Outlander features, including an available all-wheel control system that uses electronically locking differentials to save weight compared with hydraulically actuated systems. The new electronic system, which eventually will make its way into all Mitsubishi all-wheel-drive systems--including the Evolution--is equal to the hydraulic setup.
We tested both systems back to back at the Team O'Neil rally school in New Hampshire earlier this year and found the new system extremely capable on harsh rally trails. It will be more than up to the job for on-road drivers, and it won't give up any prowess for those who need extra traction and all-wheel-drive capability in tougher conditions.

While the Outlander Sport looks great (I've been looking to replace my old 94 Expo but wanted something that got at least the same mileage), what I was trying to point out was the mention of electronic locking differentials replacing hydraulic, eventually making it's way into the Evo.
