site? link? what's your source? I'd like to read about it.

FWIW, I'm surprised Mitsubishi has kept the 4G63 in the evo for as long as it has. Dont get me wrong, its a great motor - I'm just amazed that they've kept it all these years.

There were rumours a few years ago in Japan about switching over to one of the GDI engines. Never heard anything else on it though.

I didn't even know it was a question. This is common knowledge unless the prototype is a fake.

Man, it's a good thing evoclub.net was able to help you out. Maybe we should start a forum here that talks about stuff like that:

Future Evo Models

If we made a forum like that, it _MIGHT_ just end up with an Evo X thread containing almost 1900 replies:

Lancer Evolution X Rumors, News, Info etc...

really sad, isn't it? After some odd decades of the evolution of the engine, the X better live up. But hey, maybe it'll be like Honda's new K series (i.e. better than the B series whether we wanna believe it or not).

Thanks, I appreciate your sarcasm . So what if I wanted to read the Japanese take on it? What then? What do you care if I want to get my info from a different source (one that is run by the manufacturer) and NOT read a bunch of threads filled with the wide variety of bull$hit that runs rampant on this site.

No need to come off at me like a ****, warrtalon. I KNOW that thread exists here at evom. As I said before, I dont want to sort through the garbage when I can get facts faster somewhere else.

maybe sometimes people dont want to sift thorugh 125 pages of bullcrap and want one thread to get a simple answer. I didn't kill anyone to answer the question.

Why are you such a jerk to newbies? You really come off as a ***** sometimes. I thought you had been warned about that.

Excuses, excuses. I'm not interested in excuses.

Nope, wasn't warned for that.

Evoled, don't sweat it. I didn't give you a smartass remark, but I found it amusing that a guy went elsewhere to confirm what we've already talked about 100 times on here and when we have an entire forum dedicated to talking about the X. People just need to look around a little before posting...
