it seems as though the people at subaru have kept their ears open in comparison to mitsu who refuses to give people what they want.http://www.windingroad.com/articles/...preza-wrx-sti/

I hate my MR too. It can't do what I can do in a manual better in the city.

get rid of the dam X's for good ,, the body is ugly heavy and non evo looking unless you put wheels and lower it then it loos like a nice car...


bring back the 4G63 engine with MIVEC on both intake and exhaust side CT9 platform.

mitsu has screwed the pootch trying to reach a wider market

I don't understand. The EVO X looks better, has a better interior, handles better than the IX. I'm not sure if I could have parted with over $30k for a tin can death trap like the IX. The EVO X has more substance and looks less boy racer which is a plus and is a better all around car. The only problem with the X is that it was released during the biggest recession since the great depression. It's just bad times for this type of car.

heavyD

And what is that? Make the car uglier and still no fix for the piston issues despite carrying over the same basic car from last generation with little improvement with the exception of finally going away from rear struts? Spend some time at a Subaru forum. The majority hate the 08+ WRX/STi.

HeavyD is right, speaking as a three time subi owner, the EVO is the better car by far. A big reason the owners of 07+ STI's are unhappy is the crap factory tune, you need to get a pro tune just to make the car run properly. and then pray you don't crack a piston as the engine is EXTREMELY sensitive to detonation. And subie dealers will deny warranty claims for mods just as quick as mitsu will. Also when I buy AMSOIL for my new X it won't be from some X hater. Really excellent marketing apagan01

I personally love the EVO X. the only gripe I've ever had is that it's a few hundred pounds heavier. it looks good, the interior is nice, and the handling is better than the IX. the car is faster than the IX in everything but a straight line, and it's not even by that much. also, a tune with fix that. The X is a great car, and I will most likely pic one of the SE's or MR's up in the next year or so and dedicate my IX to track duty....I say that, but i'm sure i'll race both lol

I think its excellent what Mitsu did with the X, its a step in the right direction. Yes the older evos were a purist's delight, not a lot of bells and whistles apart from the mechanical aspect. Mitsu stepped it up with the X and made an evo thats fun to drive but has the comforts and features it was lacking in the years before. It has opened itself up to a wider market, but the more people buying X's, the more feedback and development will go into the future evo's. Subaru's new WRX, not the 2011, is ugly, generic and boring. It looks like a damn saturn. I think their reasoning behind the 2011 and why it looks so much better has a lot to do with Mitsu's development of the X, so the rally street car series of cars will have a wider variety of buyers than the normal subaru and mitsu purists who are not happy with change. As far as the SST goes, I believe its also a step in the right direction for Mitsu. Whether or not your happy with it, it shifts faster than a manual and also opens up the Evo market to people that cant or dont want to drive stick anymore. Most of the big name supercars are using twin clutch trannies and being that its new to mitsu, you must have expected some issues...right? Just because you cant put up the same hp numbers as a GSR with mods, it doesnt mean the tranny is crap. There are a lot of options for strengthening the SST tranny, so if your whining because of a "limit" to your torque numbers because of it, drop some cash or drop the car and get a GSR.

heres the major problem with the SE as I was asking mitsu about it:

"Nate, the Lancer Evolution SE will be $35,790 when it comes out next month. Check with your local dealer because there are only a limited amount of these being produced. (From Mitsubishi spokesman not dealer) "

So the real question is with the 6 speed transmission is it worth the extra 2-3k instead of the gsr? For only 300-350 tq and 500 hp which is the highest I ve seen the transmission hold...not really

Well, like I said, Mitsu is releasing this car more as a test than anything else. They are feeling around to see if there is a market for that model as well. Believe it or not, there are going to be people that prefer this model over the MR and the GSR, granted it may be a small percentage, its a percentage nonetheless. It opens up the evo market to a new buyer, someone in between both models of the X that now has an option. On top of all this, seems like there are not a lot of guys that buy the MR with the strict mindset of modding it as much as possible. Seems like most guys buying the MR are buying it because of the fact that its a more refined, somewhat mature version of the GSR. Lets not forget, there are probably a lot of people that would love to own an Evo but cant drive stick, these are the models for them, its a new market, thats all.
