The rear bumber looks like as Lexus IS 250. What ever floats your boat I guess.

Eh, like the front but not the rear. Rear to me looks like an RX8

#1 on the Evo X buyers list. I love the new look, I just hope it performs as well as it looks.

The initial concept is sweet but I'm not feeling this new mule. It looks so much wider and bigger than the current EVO and the rear almost looks like a calibur...or any of the current 4-door sedans out there. Yuck. Maybe it just looks different because the wing isn't there.

And I dunno how they're going to lighten it but I'm intrigued. I'm sure it'll be great though...

I am so glad to know that everyone (with the exception of neil) has the ability to see through black canvas. I will wait to see the final production model at one of the dealers before I decide if it will be time to trade in the old girl.

Looks just like the prototype. Should be interesting.

If I cant go touch the car at a dealership, then the car doesn't exist yet, and there's nothing to anticipate.

Bring me the car & i'll care about it.

Looks like a friggin Acura TL :rofl:

Like Terry S said, if it ain't at the dealership.. I don't care bout it.

It might have a wider stance, but it is pose to weigh less then the current evo out!

and over 300hp , whats the estimated price on this thing?

I was reading another article and they said that this might be that "This could also be a variation of the Ralliart model." No Evo..look at the exhaust...i dont see 300hp coming out of that.

best part= and will be put on a diet resulting in a curb weight significantly less than that of the current Evo.

Yeah I dont know if I want a car that looks like an adrenaline Galant... I love the current EVOs...cause they look aggresive... the X looks EH

ya but look at the current stock lancer....i sure as hell would never think an evo would come of that and look at the beast we have now.

A lighter weight evo should be faster. *Hopefully the engine will have the same potential as the 4G63...Anybody know what is going to be used?

Mitsu sure took a dump on this new Evo...the internals may be upgraded, but the body is hideous!

I dont think it looks that bad I think that it is not on the same path that the previous cars were on... there is no way if you look at the 10 could possibly think that it had roots in rally... The car looks like its a Jacked Galant.

Looks like a Lancer/Ralliart prototype. *Good to see they're keeping it close to the concept, but the LED front and rear lights seem to be gone.

I don't see how they are going to make the Evo lighter with that high belt line! *But this is an early prototype so this is anybody's guess. *I can understand the desire for Mitsu to go upscale on the Lancer/Evo since all the other car companies are doing the same thing. *The Civic is really an older style accord in terms of size. *Same goes for Corolla/Camry and Nissan as well.

That should mean a smaller compact or subcompact should also be coming out from Mitsu. *Go Colt!

I'm with everyone on it not being the evo model. But since this is an all new chassis, I doubt there will be must aesthically different with the evo model other than flared fenders, wide tires, and larger wheels.
