i agree w/ everything except the "4gwhat?" part..... 
the 4g63 is def. one of the best 4cyl engines ever made.... imho, its THE BEST ever so far.. but that is simply MY OPINION... haha you look at a 4g63 sideways and it will make more power... 
also i duno why everyones so worried... we're talkin about multi-million probably billion dollar companies developing an engine... im sure theyre all aware of the strong aftermarket for the Evo.. they know the care is raced(obviously) and beat on.. and im sure they took all that into consideration when building an engine.. and the Evo has only gotten better since day 1.. so im sure the X will not dissapoint...

Lighten up buddy

you guys should know that mitsubishi is not what used to be. Mitsubishi's reputation has went down to the ground. Check out sales on mitsubishi and resale values. Also do you see new 06-07 mitsubishi around? no.
btw hyundai's reputation went up really high.

Anyway, companies share engines to reduce costs. In Evo X case, the only thing that it will share with Tiburon engine wise is the basic block design, rest of the internals will be exclusive/designed by Mitsubishi. So a 2.0 turbo world engine from Hyundai will have different specs/strength than a 2.0 turbo engine from Mitsubishi.

I recently met a friend who works for Hyundai as an engineer. We were talking about different cars and the topic of the Evo X came up.
He asked me what I thought about it, and I told him that I liked the style but I wasn't too sure about how powerful the new engine would be.
He then dropped the bomb on me. He said, "Well you do know that the new engine is built entirely by Hyundai"? I told him that I knew that it was a joint venture between different car manufacturers but he then said No.. The new engine is ENTIRELY designed and built by Hyundai Engineers.
He also told me some interesting information that there will be releasing a new Tiberon that will also have this same engine. He also noted that it's going to be really nice and designed similar to at G37. It will be RWD.
Just for the record I never post unless I feel this is concrete and factual information. When it becomes more open knowledge to the public just know you heard it here first.

06 and 07? yup there is a resurgence of mitsubishi vehicles as they know they are reliable. consumer reports even rated the galant and eclipses as best value! I think even the outlander!

So your new "friend" who is an engineer knows everything about Mitsu and Hyundai? He wouldn't be embellishing at all or be saying anything he doesn't know is 100% true? You know there are tons of people out there that work for mitsu dealers and if you ask 10 of them when the evo X is comming out you will get 10 different answers. You say you are posting facts, but you have nothing in writing or proof to prove your so called facts. What you are posting is complete heresay and is not factual or proveable.

hyundais aren't "cheap" anymore, sheesh. just inexpensive. as if mitsubishi's are considered really nice? there's a reason why mitsu can't charge a high premium on the evo. mitsu's are also "inexpensive," too, you know. they don't have the brand name equity that more luxurious brands hold.

I call BS. This just seems like this guy from Hyundai is trying to talk up his company. They may be sharing the same 2.0 base engine design but I highly doubt that they are the ones who fully built the engine for Mitsu to put in the Evo X. Is it just me or does that sound stupid. Just think about it, why would Mitsu put an engine in the new EVO X, their halo car, that's FULLY designed by Hyundai? Doesn't make sense to me. I'm pretty confident that Mitsu has their own engineers that would work on the engine for the new Evo X but maybe I'm just crazy. Also there have been way too many threads with "...info from some guy I know that works for company "x" that just installed the 4b11t into the new EVO X himself just 5 minutes ago, right before he leaked this info to me to go post on this form...".
Next time I see a new thread about the X, I hope it's with some real facts from Mitsubishi.

ok slowdown...i actually seen more outlanders than i ever thought i would. I also see the new eclipse fairly often and the galant is also very popular... Oh and lets not forget the new lancer! they are selling like hot cakes from what it looks like to me. I'd say that they are doing better then before
