I think the Evo VII is hands down a better design. It looks more aggressive with it's new front lights scheme. The first time I saw the car I thought it looked like a great white shark just grinning. The inside may look a little toned down but it still looks appealing. Don't get me wrong on about the Evo VI it still is quite an attractive car, but the new shape of the VII is definetly heart stopping when seen in real life. It looks way more styled out then most of the civics and subarus I have seen so far even after the mods. Well that is my $.02. This is what the other cars are gonna see once they try to bring comp to the tar. :flamer: What they do when they see the VII

Lets here some more about your cars!!

Wow, I like that blue one..... Unfortunately the EVO VI LHD was never available in blue. Only white, silver and black.

Derek/Mod13,

You're both lving in the oriental part of the world, reknown for all the car gadgets. I'm looking for alternatives of a meterset: oilpressure, oiltemp and boost. My aim is to install them in the opening under the radio.

Been looking on the net for them, but couldn't find. Wonder if you have some mags with pictures of various options. If so, would it be too much trouble to scan them and email them?

Thanks!

I have to say, the more and more I see the car (Evo VII) the more I like it. Especially seeing it in traditional white.

Well I'd have to say I've been a bigger fan of the Lancer Evo V and VI. To me they look increadable. When I caught a glimpse of the Evo VII I thought to myself "Argh! What did they do to it!" But you know funny things have been happening to me. I look around at all the pics I've found now, and all those on the forum here, and suddenly the Evo VII is growing on me more and more everyday. I'm in the US, so chances of me ever owning an Evo V, or VI is probably non-existant, but happily I've really begun to warm up to the Evo VII. Now I wait and wait for the day I here news of them actually hitting the US turf. I've got lots of questions about it, just like everybody else waiting. Will it cost to much? How much horespower will it have? How many different versions of the Evo VII will there be here in America? Will that awesome front mounted intercooler survive the US safety standards?

Getting back to the looks, if they are anything like the Evo VII that is everywhere else, it should be a great hit in the US. When I start to think about it, all the stuff that makes the car is really what I'm interested in anyway. Turbo and intercooled four making more horsepower then alot of V-8's here in the states. All wheel drive, and should that active yaw control make it to the US version we're all set. Even if it's de-tuned, I want one. There is nothing else built that can compare.........well there is the Subaru WRX, but aack! It looks like a frog from the front end.

In the end to me, it's not all about looks anyway. True I don't want an ugly car, thats for sure, but when you looks at the things that go into a Lancer, and all the technology, thats surely what makes the car what it is. Looks are important though, and the new Evo VII looks as good to me as the Evo v and VI, even though I voted VI for looks over the VII. I can't wait for the day I wake up and hear some kind of good news......any kind of good news, that boldly states at least in the USA........ "Evo VII has landed!"

Later guys...

When this EVO comes out as promised somehow, im all out ready to ditch my accord lol! (btw im new here, and i wanted to learn more about the evo making its way to the USA)

Hey if i can get an evo VII in the U.S. i'll deal with it being not as agresive looking, and a little heavier. The Evo VI had a really mean look to it, like if you saw it in your rear view you'd run for cover, the Evo VII looks more... Well not as cool. But like i said, if i can have it in the U.S. bring it.

[Crufty Dusty]

Mod13 which part of the island are you staying in? I'm in Serangoon area. Maybe a meet up some day?

Cheers.

The only thing i did not like anout the Evo VI was the design. it was a bit ugly

[skylinegtr]

Whoops. i ment the Evo VII

[aek5513]

Hey, Derek888: where are you ? Are you in Taiwan or US?
I know EVO VII is selling LHD in Taiwan for about $50000. Is that true?

BTW, I heard that Taiwan highway police is going to use EVO VII as police car ( to chase those 400+ hp Impreza )

In the recent Taipei auto show, Mitsu presented a LHD EVO VII. Oh, how long do we have to wait ?

the evo IV, V and VI looks a lot more aggressive and faster to me. the evo VII looks like a fox. also it looks like any other sedans out at the market. looks like an accord.
other than that the evo VII from what i heard is very good. i havent been in it yet but i can tell you the evo IV, V and VI's are very very fast. my uncle and i test drove it in japan and its crazy. acceleration is fast as a ferrari. and you can have 3 other friends with you.
because the before evo's are very fast, the evo VII should be better
