You obviously bought an Evo for the right reason.

I'm sure I speak for many others as well when I say that I didn't buy the damn car to get me laid, I bought it because it was a bad *** machine. Getting laid is something a man needs to accomplish himself, not make his car do for him. Besides, chicks that do you because of what car your drive are shallow *****es anyway.

It's "a drivers car" as has been said, and I feel that any mechanical or performance improvement made to this car is nothing but good.

Every Evo has had color-coordinated door handles, with the exception of the RS model which is only available in white, with door handles and side view mirrors in black..... and let's not forget about the unofficial horsepower limit of 280 ps....

You obviously didn't see that the fenders are no longer of the blister type, which is one of the most significant styling cues of the EVO 7 and 8. I actually like this image of the EVO. It looks like a much more "fresh" design than the EVO 8.

Is it just me are do the photos look like a rendition or photoshopped. If you look at the picture of the silver evo "XI" with a lavender evo Viii in the backset, the silver car's front bumper on the passenger side does not match up with the hood and headlight.

in case anyone is wondering about the evo 9 having a 2.4 mivec turbo engine.... i personally don't believe that it will have a 2.4 sohc mivec turbo engine because as I recall that engine basically is the 4G64, which i used to own on a eclipse spyder... many, and many have tried to turbo charge that engine and for some odd reason it would never work right.... I'm not quite uptodate on the infos but those guys have been trying to turbo that engine for a long time, however... if mitsubishi was really going to do it then maybe they'll find a way... but i dont see how it will be done.

my 2 cents.

Yes. It has been posted before but it was silver and was then determined as a photoshop. Also, look at the wing outside the car and then look at it inside the window. looks just a little bit weird but oh well.

well if you look at all the evo generations. the 1-3, 4-6, and 7-8, you can see that they never changed much to the appearance within each generation. I can believe that the evo 9 will look like this, but I think they would change it a little more. It is probably a chop though

I can't decide what looks cooler. This or the ralliart lancer If this is it subaru sales will skyrocket

The WRC version look better comparted to the ralliart lancer looking thing.

I don't think it looks too bad, although it is probably a photochop. If you need a car to get laid you need to focus your attention on other areas ie. your looks and personality

That can't be the Evo IX. It doesn't have the corporate standard front grille centerpiece.
I don't like the angular headlights at the moment, but I didn't like the Evo VIII when I first saw it, and now I like it. I don't hear anyone complaining about the Evo VIII's look anymore. Just give it some time.
