it will join the Japaneese Classic Line up.. NSX (dam i hate honda lol) Skyline, Supra, Miata, RX7, Evo I- VIII, STI will be a classic too, damm even a little bubble back civic has classic potential (funny....but just think about it). The Jap classic value might not be as much as domestic classics.. but The Evo is a japaneese classic 20 yrs from now.. hands down.

by far it will be up there with the tuners of tomorrow, i mean look at how the supra, rx-7, and 300zx were. all monster power cars of years ago. and then look at today you find a good condition anyone of those and they are still selling twin turbo supras close to 30,000 with a hell of alot miles, and people will buy them.

For those of you who say we will run out of fossil fuels in 20, 40 even 60 years, you are wrong the earth reproduces just like everything else does, we will always have fuel. I think after the IX the resale might go back up because the X is obviously not as based on the track as the others are...

X is not based on the track as the others are? I love it when people bash something that isn't even out yet. I, for one, think that a stock Evo X will beat a stock Evo IX on track, on gravel, on any kind of pavement.

Evo IXs and all before IX look like ricers, they are not attractive to most people. EVO X is trying to change that trend with better looks to attract more average buyers so they can sell more cars and make more money. But I don't think that making Evo X to look "pretty" will diminish it's rallying skills.

EvoDream05

Well if you search, I think mitsu themselves said that the X will be more lexury based. (I could be wrong and that is what I based that statement on...)

Oh I think you are talking about one of those interviews with one of the execs talking about next EVO and how they talked about a possibility of larger displacement engines and the VWs sequential transmission. But what I got from that interview was that they basically want a more refined car which I don't think is a bad thing. Maybe now we will get a more functional, good looking, and full of rally performance car.

in 20 years i might look at my evo like its a olds 442 in the movie "Demolution Man". one of the only few gasoline autos left in the future with electric hybrid cars running around.

Care to elaborate on this? I know oil isn't stuffed inside the earth by space aliens, but from what I've heard, we're using the stuff up awful fast.

While I'd like that also, I don't think we're likely to get it at anywhere near the current price level of evo's.

Mitsu have to work to a budget like everyone else and if they're trying to make it a more luxurious car, then the money is going to come from some other part of the car. I'm sure it would still be very fast and highly to be faster than the IX, but that doesn't really have anything to do with how much it is track orientated. The attribute EvoDream05 was getting at, I think, is that evo's have a feel to them that suggest that every dollar you spend on this car goes into making it quicker. A more luxurious vehicle perhaps will lose that edge.

Looking at the another way, the Veyron is an extremely fast car and can whip all our *****, but you can hardly say it's 'track based'.

In the states I feel the Zarnardi NSX, 93+Supra trubo, RX7 may become classics. I feel there are too many evo's available and improving every year would depreciate the older models.

At this rate we will run out of oil faster than actually impacting the climate so dramatically with emissions caused by that oil. I think the EVO EV looks better everyday.

Problem is it takes 30 barrels of oil to build a car (an evo or any other hybrid/electric car). So no cars, boats, whatever period.

Great memories though, ahh the memories,....

UndieStainz

There is a theory that the inner/outer mantel core rotation of the earth produces oil and not the fossil's believed to be the source of oil.

But this theory is only held by a handful of scientits whereas 100's do NOT believe that, so hmmmmm, who could we ask about that?

BOTTOM LINE, "Do not forget to drive in BOOST today and burn some fuel while we still have it"

what is this guy smoking?

UndieStainz

a good fat joint of scientific fact based on the peak oil paradigm affecting oil production worldwide, that's what ;-)...but your comment gives me an idea, hahahahah
