According to the new "Motor Trend" (January 2005, p.22), Mitsubishi is replacing the Lancer with a new sedan: the GS44. The IX Evo will be based on the current VIII, while the Evo X will be an all new model.

So I guess the new Evolutions will either be just Evolutions (without the Lancer), or GS44 Evolutions.

 

so does the new one look anything like the current evo8

 

gs44? That's a wierd name to begin with. Gotta contact my japanese sources for this one.

 

i did a search on the net for the GS44 and came up with this...look on the bottom towards model news...

I saw a picture of the evo X today. It is different, it is going to have to grow on me. But it is going to have over 300 hp. It is going to be bad a$$! Pick up a copy of the new road and track. It has a little write up on it in the future models section.

 

It is going to be based on a Mitsu smaller than the lancer in Europe....

 

This is all I care about:
Everyday I countdown to this car being released in the states.
