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).
