Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII
Subaru WRX owners beware: the Lancer Evolution VII is officially coming to America in January 2003. Typically referred to as the "Evo," Mitsubishi's hot-rod Lancer is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Visually set apart from other mundane Lancers by a more aggressive front fascia, hood vents, larger wheels, and a rear wing, the Evo VII may look tame, but its capabilities are anything but. Powered by a turbocharged inline-four that produces 276 horsepower (the U.S. version will have around 250), the VII features an electronically controlled four-wheel-drive system, an active center differential, active yaw control, and Sport ABS, which monitors the steering wheel angle to reduce understeer when cornering. Other rally-inspired tidbits include a Momo steering wheel, Recaro seats, Brembo brakes, and 17-inch OZ wheels wearing 235/45ZR-17 Yokohama Advan tires. When it comes to our shores, expect a price between $25,000 - $30,000.

From: houston tx,
motortrend is more accurate than the mitsu reps at the la auto show...riiiight. Motortrend has sort of proven to be one of the LEAST accurate voices concerning the Evo over the last couple of years. As far as I know, mitsu hasn't made any press releases about the evo since the LA auto show. THere is no way we can say anything regarding the status of the evo has changed until we hear it from mitsu themselves. Car and driver is releying what mitsu told the public. Motor trend is speculating out of thier collective asses.
evoandy? the hell. I said motortrends current info is more accurate(at the moment) than car and driver.........why? i think<--- because its february for starters....of course i could be wrong, but i dont care...i just know the evo will be coming out with over 260 hp.
