Official pics of Mitsubishi's Evolution X

Click the image above for more shots of Mitsubishi's Evolution X.
We're counting down the days before our departure to Japan for the Tokyo Motor Show, and as we mark each passing date with a red "X" it takes on a special meaning.
Car and Driver's initial review of the Mitsubishi Evolution X has already given us some of the specs, including the new blown two-liter's rating of 295 HP and 300 lb.-ft. of torque in GSR and MR guise. Now, Mitsubishi has released three images showing the JDM-spec Evo's exterior, and one pic that reveals what U.S. buyers can expect to enjoy while sitting in the new Evo MR's cockpit.
Check the gallery below for more.

i try not to like the grocery getters, but this is one of the nicest, most style'n 4 doors around.
dont love the controls on the steering wheel... in any car for that matter. 9 oclock and 3 oclock are too fat on this steering wheel, but Mitsu has done nice on this car once again.

What a great looking car! I can't believe how big Subaru dropped the ball with the WRX redesign and how good this Mitsubishi looks.

I completely agree. While Mitsu strived for a better car, Subaru degraded it's Impreza by creating an ugly Corolla with no new technologies, at least not in the mainstream cars.
As on the Mistu, I wish they had good residual value on their cars so they could lease better, because thats what i do, i lease.

Actually the Evo line has one of the highest residual ratings in the industry. At one time I think it was holding at 72% of it's original price.

The only thing wrong with this car? It's not on sale yet.

I must say that Mitsubishi did a much better job on their Evo revamp than Subaru did to their STi. This thing looks great, while the STi looks like something I'd pick up at Enterprise Rent-a-car.
Way to go Mitsubishi.

The tires look small relative to the car. Other than that, looks really nice. I can't wait to see what the tuners will do to this thing.

The interior plastics look so hard and cheap my monitor just got scratched. Some nice exterior touches, but I see more Corolla in the general design of this sedan. Much more than the new smiley Impreza - which the wagon looks more like a squished Lexus RX than anything. The sedan looks like a poor mans smiling Audi wanna-be with a Ford Focus rear. Regardless, both great cars. Drove the new WRX 5-door, enjoyed it quite a bit. Sadly, can't afford one...

What Ford Focus have you been looking at?

That ugly huge box on the front (the grill) has got to go. I'm sure it won't matter to the boy racer fast 'n' furious crowd though.

Yeah, If you look closely at the gearbox, it's an AUTOMATIC!!!
Ilya 3:42PM (9/24/2007)
The MR has the SST (dual clutch, DSG like) transmission.
Eisenfaust 3:45PM (9/24/2007)
DSG style gearbox, my friend.

Luv it...can't wait to see that in dealers. This might seem lame but that is my dream car.
