If this was the EVO IX, wouldn't we be getting some kind of official release from Mitsubishi?

You know what they say "I'ts the INSIDE that counts" It may look ugly or ralliart on the outside but MAN! It packed 330 HP on the inside. So no sweat I can live with the looks.

If that's anything close to the next EVO I'm glad I bought one when I did. Ugggghhhhhhhh. Those lines are not aggressive enough for me. I love the looks of the EVO 8. The picture of the "EVO 9" looks to docile. The higher hp would be attractive but with my mods I have surpassed that number already anyway so whatever....

the silver looking one has looks that are just fine with me

But that yellow one... ewww

I think if the Evos are lowered some in price, the selling of it would dramatically make this car so freakn popular *not that it already isnt with the price now* ...but I think even at that, the Evo will remain as is for the time being right?

Thats how many cars are ... if it sells they keep the body and look the same and just work on the inside... slightly changing the out .... And tahts where I think the Civic messed up at because if it were to kept the same look back in 2000 and just slightly changed it up, we would see more Civics than new Corolla S cars around ... but a change is a double edged sword....

I agre the silver one posted by Vaievo7 I would like but not the first one it's but ugly and looks to much like the regular Lancer. I like the styling to be differnt but come on if Mitsubishi builds that I will be very glad I have an VIII.

Honestly, if that's the future outlook of the upcoming evo, I would be very glad to mention that I'm very grateful and appreciative of the current models. The previous one's Evo 5 & 6 had lines that made them look exaggerated and sturdy whilst the 7 & 8 has the minimalist/ less is beautiful appearance.

Btw. I just purchased an Evo 6 Tommi Makinen Edition today. Collecting on 2 week of January!

Cheers and Merry Christmas!
