that's unfortunate, you should drive it... some day when you get to the point of either driving it, and will be disappointed you didn't drive it earlier, or some day if you end up selling it I'm guessing you will be disappointed it's not worth the tens of thousands of dollars you think it should be worth.

 

Wow, I had no idea people actually kept Evo's as garage queens.

Keep it for another 70 years and you might have a million dollar vehicle for the museums ( of course that would equal 20 grand in today's dollars )

 

Yeah right!! No more Evo? Mitsubishi need this car...

 

Why is this such a surprise? For the past year or so, the next "Evo" was touted as going green. The latest R&T article said Mitsu wasn't going to call their next sport sedan an Evo. In fact the forum backlash of a battery powered Evo was tremendous. This latest info makes no mention of not building the new high performance sedan, if anything it just confirms what has been leaking out all along.

 

I think the surprising part is that the reason for retiring the Evo name - they want to be known as an eco-friendly company, and performance oriented vehicles go against that message.

This casts serious doubt on the production of any kind of next gen performance seden. It sounds like the decision was made by Mitsu management to go whole hog Eco and abandon all sporty/performance pretentions.

 

I don't think people are surprised, just sad that the day has finally come.

 

I want to cry.

Who wants to sell me a mint X in a year?

 

until it's posted as a press release on mits's website I don't think the day has come yet.

 

Is it april yet????????

this is going to be a reason that i am not going to ever sale my evo.

 

DON'T GET TOO CRAZY JUST YET.

More news in the article below. Looks like Mitsu will continue to sell the Evo in the US through 2013. So, breath a little sigh of relief.

sorry did not copy paste corect one

 

The last evo, not based on a chrysler sebring chassis that is, was the Evo IX....

Mitsubishi probably had problems with the chrysler 200 chassis fitting the driveshaft and AWD so they shelved it.
