good to see.

im curious if they'll up the power of the ralliart now that evo is gone, and focus on the ralliart being most performance ready, all while not jacking up the price as much as the evos were.

The focus ST is only fwd and torque steers like a pig. We have them here and a regular WRX will outclass them in every situation.

Btw, did that recent jalopnik Mitsu comment actually mean to imply that the Evo X design is planned for a 6 year run (MY 2008 - 2013)? Geez, a refresh seems to be in order at some point.

Seems like they're milking whatever they can from this design. Hope the Evo doesn't actually go away.

ever since i bought my IX MR in feb. 2006 and they didnt make a 07model.. i knew already i had the last EvoIX production of the 4g63. Now to hear the possibility of the X going out of production (good thing you guys have till 2013) makes the EVO just that more SPECIAL when your driving on the road cuz its the last of the last people..... it is what it is, but im beleiveing it sooo long EVO.... sad times but again GOOD TIMES

What a crappy business plan "I know there is a market for Evos...but F you guys we're going GREEN!"

Hope they fire their marketing and upper management for that thought process.

I'm keeping my Evo, but I'll be damned if I ever purchase another Mitsubishi. F Mitsubishi, I'm going Bimmer (some more)...or Lotus...or something I don't even know about yet

About Mitsubishi not continuing to evolve, that's some good weed that Mitsubishi's CEO and freaking management is taking.

About STIs, I think Subaru is thinking of abandoning its awd drivelines

I can't really believe that this is the route they took... Smh... I was planning on buying the Evo XX and giving my son my current X in the future... Now I can only hope that honda produces an awd 4dr boosted civic si...
