I guess it is an improvement. However, 1 pic isn't going to do it man!

Would you happen to have more? Thanks Fab.

it looks pretty cool, but the U.S. government wont allow a nose like that, it will swallow kids and small animals whole.

I think I like it.

Anyone heard or seen anything about the Evo Wagon? It's out here... saw one in a Mitsu showroom behind Shinagawa Station. Not bad at all... if I was to buy an Evo... I think I'd go wagon...

Wow. An evo that really looks like a sports car. I dont think the rx8 market will be hurt much. If it performs the same or better than the current Evos and looks that good its gonna be pricy.

I like the styling but I just cant believe its an evo... it just looks knida hefty and heavy like a charger almost which doesn't reflect a car which is acclaimed for its mad handles and roller coast track like grip around turns. I'm sure it will perform as well but thats just the impression I get from its looks.

It will probably be account-a-nized by the time they build it...if they do, but the next EVO needs to look much better. It's not bad now...but it needs some fixing...

Mitsu always has a way of adding some rice to their cars. I like the basic design. It is all the little useless details they tack on.

Here is the full story with a lot of pics on it -

Well I guess it's functional, at least. You could put 12-15 George Foreman grills on there for a good football tailgate. :D

Ooh I like. The taillights and the aluminum fuel door would be first to go though. I'm so not into that Altezza light deal, but the rest of the car looks damned good.

I think this is sad. As "odd" as the previous Evo's looked, they still had a unique "Frankenstien-ish" style to them (a pissed-off hodgepodge.)

High performance, bland and boring......the Evo X

there is NO WAY its going to look like that. Going from the current evo to this one is like trading in crap for gold. i dont believe the car is gonna look even close to that. and yes, i think it does look a bit like the TL. expect another terrible looking, outstanding perfoming car.
