What's going to be new for the EVO 8?
Since it looks like that's what we'll be getting.

Anybody hear anything? Mitsubishi made any statements about the EVO 8 yet?

The only RUMORS that I have heard are that the dinner plate foglights would return and that there might be a 6-speed tranny.

I've heard rumors about the 6-speed too. I hope it comes true, but I would also like to see an option for the old 5 speed too. It seems like it was an excellent transmission. I would LOVE to see the foglights return, I thought that was one of the most attractive features of the old evos, and I was pretty mad to see them left off of the 7. Even if it didn't come with the foglights, I would make sure to get some. That would make the car look sooooo cool.

This a quote from this source: of the EVO 7
http://autozine.kyul.net/html/Mitsubishi1.htm#Lancer
"The powerplant remains to be the familiar 2.0-litre turbocharged four named 4G63. Believe or not, it has been serving Lancer GSR since the first generation ! this latest version is believed to be the last evolution of the engine and it will be replaced by an all-new GDI unit in Evo VIII."

Here is an article on the benefits of turbocarging a GDI engine and buried in here is the possible 2.0L version of the evo's new engine (4G94).

This isn't the first one he has brought back. He must be off his meds or something.
