This is sad, one less sports car (or sport econo-box) option is never good. I considered the EVO X when I was shopping for my RX-8, but couldn't find one to test drive. Kinda wish I had now...Oh what am I saying theres no way I woulda bought that over my 8!

While the Evo's were quick, sporty cars for the price, at the end of the day they always felt like cheap econoboxes with turbos. I have never been in one that didn't feel like a Civic in terms of luxury. Everytime I see one, it is always being driven wildly by some punk kid. No one drives them like a normal car. I do think they had great performance potential and no doubt were fun to drive. While I have never thought them to be a pinacle of performance by any means, I'll still be sad to see them go.

Sad Sad future in motoring.
I'll be the guy in the future-when everyone else is driving around in sophisticated, self-driven, non-polluting, hover mobiles-still tearing up the neighborhood in my 2004 26B Twin Turbo RX-8.
But on the other hand...maybe I'll be the 'tuner' for the electro-econoboxes of the future.

I decided to pull into my local Mitsu dealer yesterday (was getting bored, lol), and I spotted a loaded '11 Evo MR for a whopping $45k! With that kind of price, it makes the car questionable. I realize that there are also GSR models which are much closer to the $30k mark, but it's still very odd to see many of the new models creep up to $40k & beyond.
It's just my opinion, but I felt the last generation Evo really defined what the Evo's greatness was about. I've always wondered how the sales were for the Evo X, compared to the VIII/IX's...

I HATE SPEEDBUMPS!
No more Evo?! I like the Evo look but the price is too high for the younger enthusiasts. You need to be a doctor or a lawyer to afford the evo. Sad but true...
