The front of the car is way nicer/meaner looking and the rear end grows on you since it looks just like the current GTS. Looks much better in person. New engine sucks since we will have to wait for AM mods, but basic bolt ons will make this a little beast pretty easily

hmm the evo X, this look really needs to grow on me, the style changed but I wont say for the good. But not for the bad either, the fronts nice looks like it would look even meanier with a upgraded intercooler, but the back says ugly looks like it had a jdm rear bumper and just got rear ended. But to each his own.

Looks like they slapped a Volvo hood and an STI spoiler on it. 2 liter and 250 lbs heavier, wider.

Boy I'm excited.

What's this thing going for fully loaded, $38K? oooh giving me the chills.

Do you guys ever watch the Conan O'Brien show? He takes photos of goof ball celebrities to show what their offspring would look like. This X looks like that. It's an ugly mix with part Subaru, part Lexus and part Volvo. Basically, it looks like ass. I also like the fact that the new engine is 50 pounds lighter than the iconic 4G63, but then they go ahead and add 250 pounds elsewhere to the car. Great logic there Mitusbishi engineers. :idiot2:
Is anyone surprised? They did the EXACT SAME THING to the Eclipse when that crap looking 3 gen came out. Who is running the show over there at Mitsubishi...Special Ed?

Some of the comments you guys make are sooooo stupid! Do you really try to understand why things are done the way they are before you open your mouths?Â* Â*:idiot2:Â* Â*As far as weight, it's been covered before. Crash/side impact standards continue to increase which is better for all of us.

There is no 2007 U.S. Evo because it didn't meet those standards, hence the new one gained some weight to meet new crash standards for 2008 and beyond. Hello every manufacturer deals with these issues and hence weight almost always goes up on new models. The fact that the engine lost 50 pounds should tell you that Mitsubishi did everything they could to control weight gain.Â* Wow, such logic!

I like the look of the new Lancer and Evo X and think it is a nice upgrade. This is the best looking Lancer ever and sales numbers seem to reflect that. Every time they've changed the look, Evo IV, VII and now X people have complained and yet it sells in larger quantities. I say, out with the old and in with the new, I can't wait to drive it!

The X looks like an awesome car to be driven daily and occasionally take it at the track and be expected to get whipped by VIII or IX (with Mods)

Verses the VIII OR IX which is the ultimate track car, weekend car and for many of us a tolerable daily driven.


The weight of the car is the main factor for me.

funny how people are quick to hate on newer evos e.g. OH NO T3H mivec is THE horrible, yet when the 9's did come out, everyone was praising it. i guarantee that the X will be just as good if not better than the previous evos. its just a cycle that i seem to see everytime. when i first got into evo's (evo 5), everyone thought that the 7 was ugly, the 8 was uglier, etc etc.

i cant wait to test drive one. ill be going to tokyo auto salon this year and keep you guys updated with wat japans car manufacturers have to offer. O0

No, really the X is really ugly. Anyone else who doesn't think so, I will provide an eye exam at no charge (I'm an optometrist).

Why not put a 250 lb weight in the trunk and when you buy it you can take it out?

I noticed alot of the haters drive IX's........glad you love your cars, just wait until you get smoked by a stock X. As i read through, I had a familiar feeling about when the VIII was introduced and then the IX....most people did not like them either. People are funny that way I guess.

Personally, I like cars that try to appeal to EVERYONE. That way, no one will ever be completely enthusiastic about it. The heavier the better. More safety. Why not just equip the car with a helmet and a HANS device? I usually try to say everything that's on my mind without caring about how it sounds or even trying to think about it. Gotta go now...Jimmie Johnson is turning left...

The Evo X is the best looking Evo ever. For me looks do not really matter much. The only thing important is if it performs better than the current Evo. If it does not, that will be the only time it will truly suck. If you bought the Evo for looks, you must really have low standards in aesthetics. It's not that great looking.

You IX owners are weird :crazy2: the car looks great.... the front looks mean
I'm glad they got rid of the goofy ass clear light BS..... and most of you "buy for performance?" :roll: I hope I can get one in a year or so.... great DD... Mitsu seems to be getting away from the "Rice Boy" image...

07-06-2007, 10:32 PM
every stock Evo ever made is not that great looking imho.... and this one is pretty much the same... the face is a bit meaner looking but something about the part above the intercooler and all just looks kinda wierd to me.... out of all evo's id say i prefer the IX the most, and no not just becuase i own one.... And i say "prefer" which doesnt mean i necessarily think it looks great, just better than the others.... Overall if you go out and buy an Evo based on looks alone, then you're just wierd imo lol... its about the entire package O0 (power, handling, reliability, etc...)

What an Evo X should be. :D

07-06-2007, 11:00 PM
The EVO is a novelty car. That's why I bought one. I wanted my novelty race car. It's fun. I love everything about it. And yes, I think it looks good (I have a IX). But no matter, VIII, IX, they both look cool in my opinion. I wouldn't trade it for anything at this point.

Is it the best "looking" car? No, if I wanted that, I would've bought the Aston Martin V8 Vantage or DB9. (Best looking car on the road today) If you haven't seen one up close, in person and preferably in that rich wine color, then you don't know. But the EVO isn't the worst looking car either.

Should Mitsu make the EVO a car that has styling to appeal to EVERYONE as is the case obviously with the X? Sure why not. They are in the business of making $$. This is why Porsche came out with an SUV. Bllleeeck!! I personally like the fact that the current EVO's have an aggresive "racer boy" styling.

Is it about the whole package? Yes. Mitsu has that covered. But you lovers of this new "dumbed down" styling wouldn't be saying the same thing if Lamborghini came out with an econo box "styling for the masses" car, now wouldcha?

Mitsu has a car to appeal to the masses. It's called a Lancer. Let's not make the X another "Lancer". ooops... too late. :uglystupid2:

Oh well, such is life I guess. :-\

Ive heard the X is around 280-290whp and 3600lbs so im not sure if it will be smoking evos.

through out the generations of evo what have been the characteristics that defined the evo? A 2L turbo motor, advanced awd drive system, bulging flared fenders on a econo-box, and raw awesome handling. I feel the evo x offers all of these features in a newer and safer package. Car styling is always going to be evolving just like the evo. Of you notice the designers kept the traditional squared off fender flares instead of using the rounded style that was on the concept car. Also as far as the dsg style trans, mitsubishi know that if their system is not amazing they will not sell many of them. I am looking forward to convincing my girlfriend I need the new evo and since it is an auto she can drive it too. I plan on keeping my VIII until I die so I will never miss it's raw power and great handling. Some changes are good and this better be one of them or mitsubishi will lose its customers.

EVO Neil
07-14-2007, 04:58 PM
Mitusbishi is still calling this one a prototype but it IS close to production. I think the exterior is very close, the interior a little less so. I don't think we'll see alcantara on the dash and upper parts of the door and that seat material will definitely not make production.

When they pulled the cover off this thing i walked away... Ive seen this in magazines. It looks almost exaclty like what they had last year. Actually i thought it was the same car again. I was expecting something hotter than that but what could i expect...them to show up with an X?
ehhh

EvolvedMCC
07-14-2007, 08:54 PM
i'd say that is 90% the Evo X. Look at it, it's body is the new Lancer with some different styling cues and wider fenders. Those wheels and side mirrors probably won't make it to production, but I'd say that's what we'll see in showrooms next year...=)

Actually it's not a bad looking car if you see it person. One thing I didn't like though, was that chrome trim around the front grill.

I think in black would look very aggressive.

EvolvedMCC
07-15-2007, 10:58 AM
i think this car in black with a nice drop and some aggressive offset wheels would look real nice. the front already has a pissed off look to it. depending on the price and my wallet when this thing comes out, i may actually strongly consider getting one...oh and yeah get rid of that chrome trim around the grill lol.
