The evo8 body looks just like the 7, except without the wing and with a split grill (kinda like the new galant). They wont bring in the 7 because they dont make Evo7s anymore.

heres some pictures of the "evolution" 8: http://lancerevolutions.com/gallery/cat.asp?iCat=44 the yellow one is from an event and is the real deal, dunno what the black is. The new grill is ugly, and what happend to the rally spoiler!? Trust me, i would take a 7 over an 8 ANYDAY. It's a shame all the imports are going down the drain in design....

Dont worry about the 8's looks. Mitsubishi hasn't even officially came out with the design, its all speculation so far, and we can't say that it will or will not have this or that. It will probably have a wing... because every evolution has, and it just makes sense.
And those pictures are all photoshopped if you look at them, and the one at the auto show doesnt really show off anything else except its front. It could be a just a concept model, or the base model of another car. If you look at the picture at the auto show, it looks nothing like the cedia model evolution. Until Mitsubishi finally releases specs and pictures, then ill say if its ugly or not. Its too early to judge, but you gotta have some faith in them (mitsubishi)

I don't know what they were thinking... I guess they saw the new WRX, and said "We can't compete with that! Ugly it up, boys!".
[b]LanEvo 6     LanEvo 7...    I like the new front end, but the sides and the rear... ugh. Flares like that belong on a Pontiac, not a LanEvo!  what happen with the tail lights? They went from the sweet LanEvo Benz type cheese wedges to these new... I don't even know what to call them. It looks like an economy car with a cheap wing and airdam.

Dear God, the 6 made me cream my pants. As for the 7, come on, it's better looking than the turbo shoebox on wheels (a.k.a. WRX). I definitely wouldn't roll it out of my garage.

Gee, if those pics have anything to do with the Lancer EvoVIII, then I'm afraid that we of the octagon faithful (The MG badge is a maroon octagon with the letters "MG" in the center, in case you didn't know) are going to have to lay siege to Mitsubishi's styling center until they give us back our headlights! Seriously, those headlights are cribbed straight from the new ZR series. The rest..... ehhh. As long as they've made the car agile enough to run with the Xsaras and 206's in the WRC, I don't care. There had better be aerodynamic improvement somewhere in all that fuggliness.

Take a look at the black "Evo" from that Lancerrevolutions gallery that was posted by Bryan8412. Those sunken half-round bugeyes in body color surrounds are shared by the pair.
And I don't particularly care for those headlights on the ZR's, either. I would've done something like the single recessed headlight per side on my B, though that would've been too retro. Maybe something that flares out at the trailing edge and tucks under the grill.....

While browsing the lancerevolutions.com gallery, I came to the conclusion that the VI was the best looking, in my opinion. What do you all think?
