That car would look really great without the wing. Can anyone PS that wing out of the 2nd pic?

Nice job Mugatu.....looks much better without the wing IMO. I still don't think I would ever get one though.....reminds me of an Acura TL.

Yes, this is a major repost but I'll say it again...

Finally, the looks match the performance. I think it looks WAY better...I would consider it big time, without the cartoon tail of course.

The new Camaro and this concept EVO…are very nice future options….hmmmmmm

Car would be great without the wing. Nice photoshop. I can't wait to see the final engine specs.

If the price is right and the looks VERY close to the concept pics... this would make a great next car (they'd better offer a MT option and not just SMG/DSG though).

If it ends up coming to market below 35k with any sort of options I'll be shocked.

i'm sorry but that look like crap. i wanted a evo for a while but decided i'd go with the sexier 8 after learning more about the evo and how fast it was i accepted it's current uglyness for inner beauty. but this new one look like s-h-i-t-e

To each his own I guess. You can buy my VIII when the X comes out, OK?

The only thing I'm worried about are the 1st year bugs...new engine, new platform, new tranny, etc, etc. Just look at the '03 USDM VIII (which is basically just an '02 JDM VII) and all the little annoying problems lots of the owners are having. If the interior is improved, the curb weight stays the same, the power is improved and they (more or less) stick to the prototype X then I'm OK with spending $35k on an Evolution X. In fact I would say it's very likely right now. I just hope the Japs iron out the bugs in the earlier JDM release before it comes to our shores.

Possibly the best performing and looking sedan (unless the 8 is really a sedan!) under 35k. It's a future option for me. W/o the spoiler it looks like a pissed off Acura TL. I like it.

I do like this, but it just doesn't feel like the Evo anymore. I dunno, it's just becoming more like the Galant than the Lancer. Pictures are kinda hard to judge though, and concept pics are even harder to go by, but this thing just looks like a bloated Acura. Absolutely not my cup of tea. Though, it'll probably grow on me, just as the 8 did.

I'm with you, if it outperforms the current Evo I'll love it. Something tells me it's going to be watered down and compromised by heavy design features, time will tell... If they try to make the majority happy rather than the minority this car will be a huge disappointment for me and I'll be looking elsewhere for a new car.
