Your in denial, I guess some people would only believe it when seen in person.

The rear bumper makes the car look taller, or like it has high water pants on, hmmm..
The plastic between the mirror and dorr is still not body colored, hmmm..

Will the US get the blacked out head and taillights?
Will they offer a sunroof if they all have the aluminum roof?
Will they finally add cruise control?
Will they finally add a sequential manual transmission?
What under body aero changes have been made?
Will the 6speed become an option for the RS and GSR?
Will they add big friggin huge under body fans to suck the car down to the track?

I guess we'll know within 9 months. Then I can pick up the MR or the 9. Either way will still rock.

Are those brake cooling ducts in the front bumper maybe? That would be VERY nice.

hmm.. Thats odd cause the magazine I saw was from Japan and the pictures of the ix looked nothing like that.It had a picture of the Evo IX and the new Colt.As soon as I can find the pics again I will post them.I didnt like the IX's style at all.The one that is posted looks much better than the IX I saw.. But if that is true then I like it.I still want the MR tho.

This doesn't look anything like the concept, which resembled more of the new Lancer than anything.

But they did say that they were going to have the USDM and JDM evo's going completely different direction in development.

This one looks ugly. I almost like the JDM version concept evo better.

I like the rear bumper cause it will hide all the black soot that accumulates on the bumper cause our schit runs so rich!!

It looks smoother and more rounded than the current model. I like it alot. Interesting how the votex generators and now the same color as the car as is the spoiler. I bet those two "fog light" type holes are for greater air flow to the motor/radiator/brakes. It almost looks like the car has a body kit on it, except its just integrated really damn well. Ahh well, I can't keep on waiting, something better will always come out.

That EVO X is soooo damn ugly!!! Maybe if they can fix that big black oval in the front, it might look OK. The headlamps look a little small!?

I like the IX though, especially the rear.
