Here's something those of you awaiting the unveiling

http://www.lancerproject.com/

Whoever sees the new photos pop up on the web first go nuts and post em here They should start surfacing on the web around 2:30 CT tomorrow.

 

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?

 

Nothing more than the info that has been floating around for a while. The car being debuted tomorrow is a prototype but should be close to a production car. The regular lancer should hit dealers in a couple months. The Evo X a little over a year from now.

 

pretty cool ad, but a cheap rip of what abc did for the tv show lost...other than that, i'll be following this tommorow at work.

 

Ohhhh my my.... Can't wait to see it!

 

registered and waiting, good thing i am sick i can stay home and watch this.

 

If thats the new lancer in the background....then I just threw up in my mouth

 

That has to be the stupidest flash video ever...

 

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.

 

One of the few debuts left I'm looking forward too. The Caddy CTS and Camaro Convertible looked really good as well as the Acura NSX and Lincoln MKZ. Lots of nice metal out this year.

 

hope mitsu does it right

 

pictures!

 

This is what I've been able to find so far El Linko

Nothing offical as of yet of course.

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).

 

Looks good from the outside.

 

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?

 

Daddy like......Mmmm

 

Suede, alcantra, and whatever similar synthetic they might use for steering wheels would look like crap pretty quickly.

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?

 

Meh. Awesomeness trumps practicality.

 

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).

 

Does this mean we only have to have 1 thread about the Evo?

 

Hopefully Mitsubishi can stay out of financial ruin by then.
