There's a strong possibility the next "Evo" may move up market ever so slightly...reading between the lines of various press articles and interviews with Mitsu execs seems to lead credibility to that theory. There's even a chance it won't be labeled an "Evo". Once the new "Evo" is out however, the old chassis and iron block will be retired into obsolescence. At least in terms of new manufacture. There's just no production line room to keep it going alongside the new. I have a feeling there will be plenty of "keepers of the flame" for the "outdated" chassis and engine however. I'd expect a virtually production-ready car making showcar rounds around this time next year with deliveries being made the following spring.

 

I just got the new sport compact car, And it says that the EVO X arrives in the middle of next year. Don't know if this is correct though.

 

Gentleman,

I removed several posts from this thread that ended being a sidebar discussion on re posts. Please do not side track a thread with lectures and counter points concerning re post and grammar. Take it to PM's or report the post. Thanks.

Speedlimit...

 

My guess is that we'll see an Evo 9.5 next year, something special to close out the series. Maybe an Evo Ralliart or something...

 

Yeah, I really don't think the EVO X will be out next year. But it is true that most reports say it is, I just don't think it will. I guess we will just have to find out and wait.

 

i say at least 2 years for the evo 9

 

I reckon It's possible. Mitsubishi's already had the CT-9A platform out for about 4 years now. Evo VII came out in 2001.

Evo I-III went late '92-95. Evo IV-VI went from 96-99 with the Tommi Makinen Edition released in 2000. Evo VII in 2001 with the automatic GT-A released in 2002. Then the VIII came out in 2003.
