It is 100% Japanese. If it really says Illinois, it is a misprint. I think the only things that are done to the Evo in the US is the filling of the tank and the setting of the clock. :P

All Lancers other than the EVO are made in that plant in Ill.... the mag just didn't check their facts close enough. Pretty common with magazines.

yeah all mitsus except evo are made in normal plant. that thing is a sight to see also. my friend lives in normal so when im down there i drive by it. its mitsubishis almost to the horizon. sometimes theres not as many cars there but when the lot is full i think he said it holds something like 150K cars.

Lots of misinformation in here...

If you look at the bottom of Mitsu's press release for monthly sales it shows you where the cars come from: http://media.mitsubishicars.com/deta...58128&mime=ASC
