Lancer Evo X = My New Car
Looks like I will be jumping ship. Was really thinking of an RX8 in another year or so (need both my kids forward facing) but it appears that the Evo X will be coming out mid 2007 and is totally new. Four doors, AWD 300+hp able to handle asphalt and dirt. I’d take Mitsu’s sportback concept but now word on if that will get a green light and I doubt I’ll wait much more than a 18 months for my next car.

still looks like an acura TL/ TSX to me...
|
jumping ship? you never got on board this one
|
Lol
|
That's a total Acura TL with a Turbo!
|
more like an Acura TL with down syndrome... haha
but yes it will rock the pants off the RX-8 |
^^ Just what I was thinking. You can most def see it in the door lines. Atleast it looks better than the current EVO.
|
Looks heavy, but nice.
|
Who knows if that car will look the same as the one that makes it to production in the US. I have an Evo VIII and have been planning all along to get an X when they come out. Some people couldn't wait, took a big hit, and traded in their VIII for a IX. Not me. That X will be a better performing, better looking Evolution than any of the previous versions. They're talking about offering it in both hatchback and sedan trims so that'll be interesting too.

RX-9 = My New Car
I don't have offical conformation that it will be built, but it will be my next car. :fruit: |
Also, what's up with the X-Men, Cyclopse laser beam eyes in the middle of the grill??
|
Eye brows...
|
I think the grill looks a little Audi-ish to me. Not a big fan. Hopefully it won't pass our frontal crash tests and we'll get something a little more traditional.
|
I like its looks. I'd definitely prefer it over the current Evo and STi.
|
even mitsubishi wants to look like our the rx8

I'd prefer the sportback but don't know if they will make it. http://magazine.avtoindex.com/images...portback_5.jpg http://magazine.avtoindex.com/images...portback_4.jpg Still the Evo looks pretty good http://clabedan.typepad.com/./photos...gorized/x1.jpg |
front looks aggresive so does that hood, but from the side it looks too much like a family car
|
that car is a tl front end neon mid section evo rear lol i like the evos that r out now better
|
It looks too pretty to go off-road in a rally...
|
they need to dump that stupid wing
|
I do see a little Acura in the side view. Not the coupe look I wanted but alot better than the BMW 325 or even Dodge Charger I considered. If it didn't have 4 full size doors and auto it was going to be a nock-down drag-out with the wife. If nothing else better had shown up I was willing to do that.
Still it looks much better IMO than existing Evo's/WRX's (I like curves). And it will be lighter, more powerful and with a quicker tranny (6 speed DSG) should hit low 4's 0-60 and high 12's in the 1/4 without sacrificing handling. We'll see summer 2007 if it comes out great or a turd. http://img373.imageshack.us/img373/6...20050108zm.jpg |
lol it looks like a family sedan acura with a huge ricer wing ;)
|
I've seen it before and I'll say it again...that's a HUGE improvement. Now...let's see how the production version looks.
If they build it to look alot like that and offer a RS version, there wont be much fault to be found in the EVO anymore. One thing is for sure..."looks" is NOT a problem. |
^^ yep... an RS version... no big rear wing, BUT leather (and maybe sunroof) still available as options... this is definitely one car I will have to check out. Saw it at the Tokyo Motorshow and still loving it.

If they offered a wingless MR or GSR version with all the creature comforts I would have a hard time looking at anything else. |
