Cool Mitsubishi CEO confirms US Lancer Evolution
From http://www.autonews.com/article.cms?articleId=37364

Mitsubishi has launched three new models this fiscal year, and will launch eight new models next fiscal year and five new ones the following year, for a total of 16. Thirteen of those will go on sale in Japan. How many will be launched in the U.S. market each year?

In the U.S., we had the Lancer this year. Next year, Airtrek and Lancer Evolution . And then in fiscal 2003, there will be three models.
Hip hip hooray!

If that's true and you get same spec as elsewhere congratulations may be in place. Then we can help you with the tuning and vice versa.

Well, let's keep are fingers crossed and hope we get the real deal. I have a feeling we will get the true Evo. I just don't want what happened to the Type-R and WRX happen to the Evo.

We want Recaro's, stiff suspension, at least 280hp, and brembo brakes

Maybe we should start a petition to bring the Evo the way it is in Japan.

It sounds like its going to be a 2002 to me.

I dont know if its true or not, but a few days ago i was talking to my brother about the evo and he said he heard that the evo is gonna come out with 250 hp for 2003 and than in 2004 it will come out with the 280...i dont know.


but lets hope we do get the 280 hp off the bat and no more teasing.

Late,
Um, I hate to burst your bubble, but have you looked at your own .sig lately?

I think after driving your detuned "evo" the real thing is going to dissapoint you!

Yeah that was discussed a little while ago. I think a Mitsubishi rep was saying that. If there was a 250hp version, I wonder what the main difference would be. If the engine is basically the same with a few minor adjustments that detune it, then I wouldn't really care. I plan to mod the car anyhow

Well no matter what we will never get an exact copy of the Japanese Evo. (because of differences in safety and emmissions standards) But I think Misubishi will think enough to release an Evo with "MOST" of the same specs as the Japanese version. Sad to say that we will of course get the slightly watered down version, just the way it works Like most Japanese makes the good ones never show up here.

For example: Type R, STi, Nissan Silvia, Ae86 Corolla, Nissan Skyline, Mitsubishi GTO
