I grew up thinking that the eclipse was Mitsu's badass flagship. Then 2fast2furious came out and i behold a mitsu hanging with the eclipse. The asian tech guy in the movie called it an "evo" but i couldn't relate.
Around here you dont see evo's cuz its extremely difficult to ship over, so no exposure.
But i was always a big Lancer fan. End of 2007 and the new base Lancers come out. I go on the internet to do some research and i come across "Evolution X". Liked it, saved for it, bought it and now i love it

First time that I had heard of them was when I bought my Civic from a Mitsu Dealership back in 04 and the salesmen were talking about them being so excited to get a EVO at their lot. Then about a week later I went to grab a bite to eat and there was this bad *** car sitting in the parking lot with people surrounding it, I asked the guy at the window what kind of car it was and he told me it was the new EVO. From then on the car was the car that I wanted and eventually 6 yrs down the road got an X.

can't recall. I knew about them before F&F came out. I can remember getting excited when the US finally got their first Evo... and STi for that matter... and the WRX.

Probably in 2003 to 2004 time frame when they came out in the US, and started showing up in the car magazines.
