Looks hatchbackish, evos are supposed to be more squared like they've always been. but a possible future evo is better than no evo.

You gotta remember tho... that Top Gear is entertainment. In real world use... it's gonna be pretty hard to get an M3 to get better mileage than a Prius. A Prius wasn't designed to run as fast as it can possibly go... continuously around a race track. The M3 probably wasn't even breaking a sweat to keep pace with the Prius. Let's see the M3 run as hard as it can... and see if it can get 17mpg. lol

But Clarkson's point at the end of the video is true... HOW you drive the car makes a huge difference to fuel consumption.

I think if they get rid of the pointless dual exhaust the back of the car would be better. I like the body lines of the new sti better than the evo

I've gone back and forth on the dual / single so many times. At this point it doesn't really bother me. We have the option to go single if we like... no big deal there.

hehe positive reinforcement for a negative mindset. Its okay! We know deep down inside you miss your IX MR!!!

The X is a good looking car. Grown up, more subtle, and comfortable. Weight to HP ratio doesn't do it for me, and the active excellent super handling AWD system is used how often? Ask only those who run time attack or AutoX... I really feel they attempted to build something for a select few weekend warriors with big pocketbooks. The XI will take the EVO out of the states if it is a hyrbid. I can see the past of the 300ZX/RX7/Supra repeating itself. Too much $ / Too little sales

Mitsu lost their mind and forgot where the evo came from. They just manage to build the first AWD Yaris....lol the evo X will for ever be the end of the legacy.

MITSUBISHI STEP AWAY FROM THE SAKI!

AWD Yaris?

I'm pretty sure is pursuing diesel at this point.

Hybrid doesn't have to be bad... RWD conventional 450hp + regenerative brake system and Williams F1 kinetic flywheel feeding front wheels = AWD that firesthe car out of corners. Would have destroyed the feild if it didn't break.

I do cling desperately to my 03' all mechanical 5spd driveline but no black and white TV.

I honestly have no problem with hybirds (unless its Prius!), but here's something to consider! hybrid tech means the car will be HEAVIER, granted it will have more HP, however consider this: Top Gears laps times have a decent representation of a cars power/handling/.... and Although Buggati Veyron has 1000+ HP its never gonna be on top BECAUSE its so damn heavy! so if the the next Gen evo is hybrid and has more horsepower it will be heavier and thats gonna mess with everything that an Evo is famous for!
