+2 They did the same thing with the eclipse, the 2nd and 3rds were ok but the 4th is just garbage.

Then with our evo's so far I can't say bad things but if they turn the evo into that? The world of evo's will come to a end but seriously

i think the worst part is getting rid of the the straight fender flares, and going with those weird rounded bubbly flares...looks like an Audi or something...the hood/front end doesn't even look that bad...but the sloped hatchy look on the *** end is not a good idea...

i hope they reconsider...not that it matters to me cause as soon as i can afford it, i'm getting a VIII and making it look like a VII...love the seven...

+1 on the part about the hatch being a bad idea.
+2 on the part about loving the VII

(Maybe you should just get a seven. Many companies will gladly import them for you. Thats how I got mine)

Autoblog had an article that Mitsubishi is thinking of having a hybrid option for each of their models, including discussions of an Evo hybrid. So wait and see, no reason to say the sky is falling yet. Either way, keep rocking the evo you have, and hopefully there will be more, as I dont see mitsu removing their flagship and entering marvel and conversing sales to Subaru. While the evo is a niche not large volume player, it is what still attracts enthusiasts and many tithe brand, just like the gtr for Nissan.

That looks waaaaaayyyyy too much like everything else that's out there. It looks like a Fiesta/Mazda2/Yaris/whatever with a Mitsu catfish mouth. I like the current Lancer's styling because it's angular, angry-looking and somewhat unique from everyone else's "generic blob" design language.

Please don't make the next Lancer/Evo yet another dull blob!

They kept the design fairly similar between the 8/9...can't they just keep a variation of the current one around 'til I'm out of Recent College Grad Poverty Hell? Pretty please? Haha.
