That silver Evo 8 has the scoop on the side of the hood but the yellow one does not.
For some reason that silver Evo 8 pic doesn't look as good as the yellow one. The whole front looks shorter and thinner

Something is up with that pic. It looks too much like a photochopped 7 to me too. Also, look how small the front door is. And the fact that it has the side hood scoop is even more evidence that it is a picture of a 7 when we know the 8 lacks the scoop. True, we can't really see if the yellow pic has the scoop, but I remember someone who was at the Vegas show saying it was not on the 8.
I really hope it doesnt look like that, it just looks strange, not at all what i expected from looking at the vegas shots, and not as nice as the VII.

after a closer look, i'm 100% sure thats not the exact bumper form the vegas picture, and im like 85% sure its a photochop. The asian version bumpr looks shallower than the vegas one, and the bottom vanes that separate the main air intake from the side ones are angled opposite ways on the different pictures (vegas version slopes inot the centerline of the car, whereas the asian one slopes away from the centerline, plus the shadows aren't completely consistent on the front end, and the shadow lines are too straight and transitioned on the bottom (us )driver side.

haha, i saw a red Pontiac Vibe suv from a distance and the front grill and lights totally resemble the Evo8 spy pics!
I think the new Pontiac Vibe is a nice looking car but it wouldnt work well on the Evo. Hey, they are still rumors for now anyway

photoshopped
--You can tell the thing is photoshopped. Just look at how the front wheel doesn't fit under the fender. If you turned the wheel, the damn thing would be scraping like crazy.

I post my true opinions in hope of change for the final production (if . is even reading these posts). Regardless of what the final car does look like however, as long as 99.9% of the performance is ther ill probly just learn to fall in love with the car like i love the new WRX.

Just saying that perhaps people could be A) a little more tactful B) More aware of other people's feelings concerning their purchase.
I do think that you obviously have the right to post your opinion regarding the Evo, and I understand your intention behind it, but also understand where I'm coming from on this specific issue.
Thank you atlvalet for your appology...it is MUCH appreciated.

Now this is what im talking about
Thnx for the 411 on the evo pics Albert. I am hoping that this is going to be the EVO8 and not the non evo looking(ahhem ahhem,hideous) round one at las vegas. Notice the use of very distinct sharp body lines that are what give the evo its aggressive look.
