Hi All,
As you all know, the Evolution X will be the last of the breed. It caps a quarter century of being the benchmark in the 4WD compact sports sedan market.
To bid a farewell to the Evo X, there will be a banner (3 feet by 10 feet) that will be trying to make its way through the Southern California Evo community. I will try and hit any regular local meet, and will be as far south as San Diego. Everyone is encouraged to sign the banner and have their local group take a picture with it. The pictures taken will be sent to Mitsubishi. The banner will also be displayed at the SoCalEvo.net booth for others to sign in case they don't get to before July 11th.
The banner pays homage to the history and evolution of the Lancer Evolution. The theme revolves around the Evo X, as it is the final iteration of the car's 25-year run. Featured in the center and signifying the "heart" of this picture, are the different models that rolled out through the years. The background edges feature the Evo X while the main left and right backgrounds have the Carbon Edition Evo X, which has similar cosmetic features to the upcoming Evo X Final Edition.
We hope that this banner and the enthusiasts reminds Mitsubishi what they have made, and the error in their judgement to leave the market to the Evo's arch-rival along with the other turbo sport sedans. Who knows? Maybe someday come to their collective senses and bring the Evo back.
A smaller version of the banner will be available for purchase for anyone interested. There will be a signup sheet at the locations that the banner will go to, and pickup of the smaller version will be at Mitsubishi Owner's Day (MOD) 2015 on July 11. Each banner is laminated and mounted on PVC board, so it is durable unlike regular foam core mounting. It is 7 inches tall and 24 inches wide and will run for $20 each (if there are 20 or more orders, the price drops to $15). Below is a sample to give you an idea of the size relative to a 19" monitor.
The scheduled date for the signing and photo-op will be as follows. Additional meet locations will be updated here depending on availability:
Date/Time/Location
Thursday - June 25, 2015; 9:00PM; Sonics Fullerton Meet (across over by the AMC Fullerton 20) - 1001 S Lemon St, Fullerton CA 92832
Saturday - June 27, 2015; 5:00PM; Kearny Mesa Bowl - 7585 Clairemont Mesa Blvd, San Diego CA 92111
Note : These meets are the ones where you can get a photo op with the banner as a group.
