To Andre Neves , Dear ASSHOLE I’m entitled to my opinion whats more I’m certain I’ve forgoten more about cars than you will ever know. If the Bat wing is all about performance? Why do most if not ALL real sports cars NOT have them at all or any more? Thats because like my statement emphesaised you can design aerodynamics into the car where you won’t need it or it can be minimized. I’m sure that many people would agree with me if you like those boy racer wings add one. I don’t think this car is that atractive in fact I think it looks slightly better than the last one. They all still look like a 90’s lancer with a bat wing.

The wagon gets the vote from me. Sort of a poor man’s Audi RS wagons. Plus you get to eliminate the boy racer spoiler from the sedan. A sportscar assasin disguised as a wagon- very nice.

^correction, first paragraph was about U.S spec Evos. Turns out they’re releasing MR GSR, MR RS models in Japan only. USA already has last year of the 4G63 Evolution as a 2006 model. There will be no 2007. Next year they will launch 2008 model in the summer.

Um… Correct me if I’m wrong but I’m fairly certain there was a 3000GT MR before Feb 2004

its a good looking car but nothing that makes me lust over it base on looks alone. I think the knowledge of what it is capable of tends to skew my judgment

Evo VIII-IX’s are still a great driving cars and will hold their own even when the X comes out.

Technological jump, yes… but increased technology does not always equate to better.

Many drivers and enthusiasts may prefer the manual over the .1 second quicker shift.

5 speed, 6 speed, they’re all obsolete as the new X will have a dual clutch. That’s where the real technological jump will be…

An Evo wagon/sportwagon would be nice if they sold it in the US

Adam… I got lost in the alpha’s in your post… so I am sure that you are correct, Mitsu would not jumble the traditional naming convention.

LLN, are you sure about the MR being avialable as the GSR w/ a 6 speed and RS w/ a 5 speed? The current line up as it has been for a number of Generations of the Evo have been “RS” as the stripper, “GSR” as the middle. Then, more recently the line up has been “RS”, “GSR”and then the “MR” (In Japan and the US). I find it hard that they woul use the resulting alphabet soup of a modle line up of the “RS,” the “GSR,” the “MR RS” and the “MR GSR.” Also as the range topping model, the MR has been only avilable w/ a six speed.

Say what you will about the styling, there is virtually nothing out there that can hang with it in performance at the same price point.

Get rid of the bat wing, and design it to hold the road better with out it. Improve the suspension and handling and you’ll be on the right track Mitsubishi. Otherwise I agree as is it looks imature and rici.

Whatever the driving experience is like, why does it have to look so immature and bad?
