EvoX, pics Options

[lagos]

Went to the dealership to check them out today. Really nice look car. A lot better looking then that maroon red they have been showing off so far.

[95st-celica]

the front end looks sick but id take an sti!!! sorry art..hahha its all good though they are nice cars all around

[808celica]

sick cars......that IS-F that toyota just made...........well 3 are on the island i wanna go check those out.

[Valo666]

they r finaly on sale now eh?...nice. I wish we got evos up here. But i would take a new STI too. Ive only seen a few evos in person b4, 2 in france and 3 living at the boarder. But personaly, i would take an STI of any generation over any evo, except maybe an evo9.

[SlickRick]

I like the evo i would take an Evo 9 mr over the 07 STI any day. The new sti as a hatch kinda killed it for me.

[Celiracer18]

one of the teachers at my school just got one and that blue they have is HOT

[xs94st]

oh man..

i've read every magazine article that i could find about the battle of EVO X and STi.

i would have to take the EVO

so nice, blue ftw. white ftw. charcoal ftw..

i'm planning on test driving one soon..just to have a feel

[Celicav]

These cars look like they mean bidness with all the vents, scoops, etc...still not as sexy as our rides though...but faster of course. When I see the new, non-Evo (Lancer?) ones on the road, I cringe at the styling... the rear is esp. fugly...

So whaqt r the modles that r out? and there is no rear 6spd now right? I see some have that lip on the front, i take it thats the top model?

[xs94st]

well they have the 5speed manual and the 6speed twin clutch sportronic shift transmission..

mmmm, twin clutch

[SlickRick]

well they have the 5speed manual and the 6speed twin clutch sportronic shift transmission..

mmmm, twin clutch

but the top trim level only has that paddle shifter right?

[xs94st]

i'm 99% sure that the twin clutch model is the only one with paddle shifters..but any1 can correct that if it is wrong

[malpaso]

damn... that white one looks good.

[Batman722]

I think they are BA

but I think they look like



it's like they have a fu manchu



I'd still rock one in a heartbeat.

[playr158]

nah they look like a Pugg

[Defgeph]

That white one is hot. Storm troopers.

[lagos]

... and thats why the car rocks.

Now the bad part. The gray one was 40k out the door fully loaded.
White one was about 35k because it didnt have the navigation system and front lip.

I was a little skeptical about them originally, but after getting to check them out in person, they are a nice upgrade from the old 8/9s. The interior and seats are a lot better. No more of that cheap plastic look that the old ones had. The new motor (not a 4g63) actually looks a lot bigger and beefier then the old one. The turbo is now placed facing the firewall srt4 style, but you can tell they left plenty of extra room if you ever want to put something bigger there. Overall, great car.

I hear AMS has had one for a month and are already making 330 whp with just an intake, exhaust, and boost controller.

oh i know that, but i am saying is that the top model. gsr or mr or whatever only is available with the twin clutch right.

Personally, my all time favorite was Evo 6. I always dreamed of having one. I even thought of (when I had my 99' eclipse gsx) putting the evo 6 engine in it (it was the same as the eclipse gst but with better ratio). Now that the evos came to america, everyone is evo crazy and turned me off of them. But that is what made me aware of AWD cars and since then, it has put that bug in me that desires something stylish and awd. Which is where my pipe dreams come from. One of these days. That was funny compasions though that dude put for the face of that evo. LOL I totally see it. They are bad ass cars though, I just don't want one due to the hype. I am strange like that.

Still undecided. I saw one in Detroit up close, so I don't know. It was a nice color, dark gunmetal grey, but I am pretty sure it was an MR edition.

[xs94st]

those four look like the horsemen of the apocalypse

n rick yea its the top model..which is the MR? lol. answering questions with other questions

[Celicav]

Carrying on the fu manchu comments...I think the car looks like Mr. Miagee (Karate Kid) lol

[bccentaur3]

When they first revealed the evo x I thought it looked like POO. But the look is growing on me and I really like them. The blue is very nice on the evo.

[xs94st]

i like the look. stormtrooper/darth vader is a good look for cars

[MarcoGTS]

The EVO X looks decent....but why copy the Nissan Skyline front?? well doesnt it look like it sorta?? but overall ...nice car.

[scothaniel]

Mitsubishi had the new Evo's on display at the sno-drift rally a couple of weeks ago. IIRC, there will be 3 trims - MR, GSR, and RalliArt. The MR has massive rear fenders, huge brakes, big diffusers, aluminum roof... and a heavy price tag to match.

The Ralliart version is what I'm waiting for - roughly 230 HP detuned version to compete with the WRX. Price will be in the mid-20's. No SAYC though.

Oh, and the engineer said the turbos are T3 based!

[fastgt]

i dislike the new evo....i respect the capability but the looks are horrid

[Consynx]

good god, that white pretty much has me sold...god damn

[joehernandez]

it looks like a robot!
might be on transformers two jejejeje
