:lol: man those look worse the the 4G

yeah they do

It does'nt look that bad to me. It's got some style, i like it, but it may need a new hood.

it looks like some other car that rear ended someone and lost its front bumper

even the new STI, with its front end and twenty spoilers looks better that that.

At least the evo has an attitude to it. It looks different but mean, the sti on the other hand just looks ugly, even worse than the last one. But that doesnt mean I dont respect it...subarus are great cars. If the evo looks anything like this concept then its deffinantley going to be the next car I buy.

I agree with you on the fact that the STI looks better than the EVO X. Although there is still something about the EVO X that i like. Just can't put moy finger on it though

That evo is hideous...and im one of the biggest evo fans around... Mitsu needs to quit making concepts and cars(4g) that resemble those on I, Robot.

the style was plenty fine before, why change it? Now it just looks like someone extruded the front end and squished it all together. People are going to find it necessary to buy an aftermarket front bumper for the car just to keep it from being such an eyesore.

I suppose if I saw the thing rip off an awd launch in person I'd be a little appeased about the change but the current verdict = ugly.

Congrats RaidenKing on the 240! you still in sarasota/bradenton? get some pics up of the new whip mang.

Yes... it is truly fugly. But... the damn thing can flat move! Last night I couldn't believe my eyes! A TV program called "Top Gear" had an AWD Mitsu EVO take on a Lamborghini Murcielago... and beat it on a closed course. According to the show's host and the test drivers on the show, the EVO has a 0-60 of 3.5 secs, a "brake horsepower" (whatever that means) over 400, and a top speed of 175 mph.

Say what you will about its looks (and yes... I hate 'em, too!), but the thing has the performance of a thoroughbred and at least oughta be given the respect that is clearly its due. Too damned bad that performance couldn't be given our much sleeker 3Gens!

brake horsepower = crank horsepower

brake horsepower = crank horsepower

Thanx.

Did a bit more searching online and found that the figures given on the TV show appear to be dead-on accurate. The Evo VIII has only a little 2.0 liter, inline 4 (turbo charged, of course), yet pulls with the biggest boys on the block. Here are the specs: http://www.conceptcarz.com/vehicle/default.aspx?carID=8826&optionID=0

Just ticks me off that the GT has a 3.0 liter V6... and even w/ Stage II mods (supercharger, etc.), we can't get that much horsepower!

I think the new evo looks nice (meaning, it could have been worse, lol) . STi's on the other hand, have always been ugly. You can see the Tribeca B9's front end on the new upcoming STi, and it aint pretty. Just like when mitsu decided it needed a corporate nose front end, instead of the wide-mouth grilles of the 90s, and put that nose on all its models.

I like the way the current evo has a powerful, menacing front end, but its trunk and rear end are equally weak and toy-like. The huge wing on a 4-dr somewhat boxy sedan isnt the smartest thing the designers could have thought of. Large wings can look fine if done right. The 2G turbo wings, and the 99 3000GT high rise wing are well placed and match the lines of the cars. The Evo wing has little in common with the lines of the rest of the car. Hopefully the new evo will have a better butt and a more sensible wing.

Ok...atleast the evo's wing is adjustable and functional (unlike 2g eclipse and 3000gt) I like the wings on the evo. Im digging the rally look. Also, I must agree w/you that the front end of the evo looks mean as hell w/that FMIC staring at you. The stock hood looks good and so do the brembos glaring through the enkeis. Im getting my Evolution VIII next month for a graduation gift. Finally get rid of my SLOW ASS 3g. My 3g is one big, underpowered pile of racer wannabe shit. Hhahaha..sorry had to vent to someone. I hate how the 3g is so BIG and SLOW.

Amen to that brother. Turbocharging... the replacement for displacement... and what better engine to exhbit that than the notorious 2 litres of the 4 bangin' 4G63. Add a 2.3 stroker with a GT35R, and warp speed Mr. Sulu.
