I'd trade my car in today if the had them on the lot...

+1

almost everybody saying i like my 8 better then X... or i like my 9 better then X...
how the hell you can't like it, if you didn't drive it or didn't see it yet, in person?
BS.
no paddle shifters because this and that... all pro cars and drivers prefer them over anything..But HERE in this site are the real drivers huh? No S-AWC ( SAYC + ACD ,for real drivers ...what a hell you talking about? you are the real driver? But the WRC Car drivers are not?
i think more jelousy is in here then real opinions.

the fact is ,every Evo generation was better then the previus one.And yes the 7 was better then 6, and the 8 was better then 7, and the 9 is better then 8. ETC.
The 6 TME was a special car, so i'm talking about the 6 generation in general.

wait let see how will perform the new evo and then come back with the your opinion.

i can't decide since i do not have any experience with the X. but i highly doubt it will be stepback from the IX.

i would still like to see the ralli art eclipse(4th gen) come into production over the X.. from a styling facotr of course.

sure the ralliart eclipse looks better but would not preform nearly as well as the X

well as i see it if the evo 10 is supposed to be coming out with over 300hp then i would greatly think about doing it but mine being all built by ams why would i if its not that heavy hp? plus the front clip isnt all that appealing

Ill keep my VIII.

i'm really thinking about... read that article in road and track with the comparison to the new STI. the evo looks pretty stout... claiming a 12.5... which really doesn't mean much to me because i don't race the evo on the quarter. But it sounds like it will be damn cool.

Also the main factor is if it keeps the price tag around 32,000

I know the new aluminum engine will be reliable, since they wouldn't put a **** engine in a evo otherwise. but real question is how much will it be able to handle with aftermarket products.

Just read the Road & Track article...3,500 lbs...ouch...and 20 less HP than the STI...there had better be a damn good system in the S-AWC and lots of potential in the 4B11-t...or I might just have to jump ship after 10 years of being a loyal 4g63-t powered customer, and say hello to Fuji Heavy Industries...

Who gives a flying **** about the wrc. Are you a WRC driver? People are upset about the Evo X because its straying away from Mitsu traditionally focuses on: raw performance. No 4G63, automated transmission, 3,500 lbs + (and it looks like a volvo!)...I agree, no one can say for sure yet what it will be like, but so far the features don't seem very appealing.

Who wants to buy a 400hp EVO VIII in prestine condition??

I'm buying my EVO X!!!

My answer will be available about this time next year.
Please remember to ask again next year.

one guy just stated here the pro drivers do not prefer paddle shifter... look it up. so i just pointed out even the wrc car have it. if you don't give a flying f%$#ck about it thats fine...
since sounds like you have no idea where is the evo from and what really is.
/World Rally Championship/

not this one

I wouldn't trade my IX in for a X for at least a couple of years. I would need to see the reviews from magazines and how "tuners" squeeze more HP out of the engine.
