I can't freakin wait to see what the hell mitsu has been up to all this time. Hopefully all the new technologies that they are implementing in the new Evo won't ruin it.
Stay positive!
Can't wait. Do you have any interesting info on the new evo Ike?

i pwn therefore i am
I've been waiting for this for months. I have no doubt it will totally pwn n00bs -- I just hope they make the interior look more like the Outlander than the last Lancer concept they showed a month ago.

I'd drive it.
Am I crazy, or did a shot of the plain-jane Lancer sneak into that leftlane article? Also, for such a hardcore street legal race car, I'm surprised they don't supply the driver with a felt-wrapped steering wheel (or whatever that material is).

Wow!
For some reason, that first pic in that link reminded me of an Acura TL. (The side lines on it)
I like the fact that this Evo looks a bit more 'refined' on the outside then the previous version.
What's with that ONE random guage on the center dash. I'm assuming it's a turbo guage of some sort but strange place to put it. Can you get these things with Nav?

And yeah, there is a regular Lancer shot in the Leftlane photos.

Does the sequential manual box require a clutched launch, or is it pretty much just an aggressive automatic with little flaps to get in the way of the steering wheel?

It's going to be a DSG much like the VAG unit, so no clutch pedal involved. If launch control doesn't come with it the tuner gurus will probably be able to add it sooner or later.

Well, that is a huge improvement.
The front end still looks aggressive but it's much more cohesive than the previous model. The rear end is much more refined than the previous model.
The interior looks less like the EVO was just an add on kit and more like a different model of the car.
All in all, I like it a lot and I'd consider buying one as my next car, unless something with direct drive comes along at an affordable price.
The standard lancer looks much better too (and yes, they did sneak a pic of it in there).
