Official Sketch. Wow.

Doubt it will look like this.

I hope it looks just like that! I want something I can LMAO at every time I see on the road!

Hmm

Looks sketchy to me…

I like….can’t wait for the new evo

MyGodBeatsYourGod, Dude its a drawing, its not going to look like that, they intended for it to look spacey and futuristic, why the heck are you posting, they’ll never make tires that melt into the ground, wtf is the point of posting that? You whored your way through CCS? You have officially taken the title of most useless poster. And as per your sig….well I guess that depends on who your God is, but he doesn’ t beat mine.

I tend to keep fairly well informed on most cars that are out there and soon to be out there. I like a lot of them, but this is potentially a car that I can see myself purchasing in a year or two, as I will likely not be in a position to buy the new GT-R.

/no

all naysayers out there…rendering/sketch is rendering/sketch. designers do not necessarily need to do it in a way that is 100% accurate!! there are other ways of doing that! sometimes all it needs to have is overall theme, graphics, somewhat accurate proportion, and surface brakeups…so stop naggin!

Looks different than the usual scraps-of-sheet-metal-melded-together-in-a-high-school-welding-class look.I’m sorry.Elementary-school-craft-shop.

I see plenty of Eclipse in the shape.

And in no way is that a bad thing.

Just conjecture, but I think it’ll be much too watered down. Sure, the thing will fly but it will probably continue in its uninspired design theme. Too bad.

Please Mitsu just skip the Galant ass on this thing and make it look good. Also give it a decent interior.

I think it looks good now. I just hope they bump up the horse power to 400hp. That would be just sweet.

EVO X is going to be an awesome ride. Just bump up the interior a bit and you’ve got a winner.

Oh by the way, if anyone is shopping the compact ute market, check out the Outlander. It is competitive and even better than most of its competiton in the segment. Seriously, it is a great SUV from these guys.

Im happy I got my IX MR.
The X concept looks good and all, but I just don’t think the production version will look anything like it.
I guess we just have to wait and see.

BTW, that sketch makes it look alot like a crossover or SUV.

I thought I ordered the car with DOOR HANDLES!

Finally an exciting sedan from Mitsu.

^because the first 9 weren’t exciting? :/
Maybe not for you.

Will the EVO-X be exciting? Is the pope catholic? Do bears crap in the woods?

The real question is: Will the regular Lancer be cool? Or at least the best non-Evo version? It’s not hard to find $30,000+ cars that are exciting. The trick is finding good ones at less than $20,000. That’s what will make money for Mitsu, and raise overall brand awareness.

No, they were not exciting in the stylistic sense.
Sure, the EVO can outrun almost any other car, but the styling- ufff!

^But see, that’s where your “Personal Opinion” sets in. A great Majority of enthusiasts like the way they have been styled. I recently purchased an ‘06 IX MR, and I love the face lift they gave it from the VIII & VII. Although my favorite ones have always been the V’s & VI’s. They cleaned up the IX’s bumper alittle and took the “Altezza” type lights(that I never liked) and darkened them almost black.
Im curious to see what the ACTUAL production version will look like. Hopefully they’ll show it in March next year at the NYC Autoshow.

There are several spy photos out there already, and the sketch is definitely exaggerated. The styling of the actual car is toned down even from the Evo X concept, with a taller, less flowing rear roofline and rear door cutouts that are markedly different, and the Galant-like sharpness of the concept’s bodyside sculpting has unfortunately been softened for the production model. I hope the actual Evo looks like the concept, but history suggests the changes will be mainly in the fasciae.

Autonutt, Evo VIIIs & IXs were VERY different from the regular Lancer in my opinion. Different trunk, headlights, tailights, fenders, wheels, front bumpers, rear bumpers, spoilers, doors(I believe), etc. And that’s just cosmetics.
Venom, shouldn’t you be in bed already so you can wake up early for school? You don’t want to miss school ya know, especially since 1st grade is the most important one.

The dual clutch on the Evo X is the main point as you can have a daily commuter that can be taken really seriously.

Jeez, way to ruin what has always been such a BEAUTIFUL car! I’ve LOVED every Evo that’s come out and now I see this one and it’s completely ruined!

what is so bad about it seriously? its just a sketch and will obviously look more toned as a production, and i guarantee all of you will probably be stunned at how good it’ll look. There is no doubt in my mind that i would take this over a civic, and the focus and corolla are a joke. i cant wait to see this in the marketplace, and its good to see mitsubishi taking an aggressive initiative with this and the new outlander, rather than letting their models wither on the vine before they pack up and leave america.

Looks like they’ve copied the Brera a little bit.

Those kind of “official sketches” made the PT Cruiser look cool.

Ms. Veda: no, they’re not. Didn’t daddy teach you that? Or are you saying that you’re just like “Venom”?

I assume this is the video that people have been talking about with the spy shots.

To me, it looks basically the same as the EVO-X! Hurrah!

MGBYG has a point.
