Finally a wheel choice that suits this car.
The new EVO X is so much classier and well built looking then the last EVO that Mitsu might finally be able to breathe a little easier.
I've felt bad for Mitsu with their sales figures and the hounds at their doors for so long.
They have proven they deserve success.

Wait a minute...if it debuted at Sydney, then what about Tokyo?
Not that i'm not happy to see it finally come out, but what gives?
I wonder if Mitsubishi has something else up its sleeves along with the Evo X for Tokyo...

Oh... she looks better in blue! I was getting sick of seeing the red.

Did they ever say it'd debut at Tokyo? Even if they did, perhaps all the leaks that have followed this car in recent weeks made them decide they might as well show it at Sydney first. Especially because Mitsubishi are struggling in Australia, they really need a car like this to boost their image (also not passing off a rebadged Gallant as a "made for Australian people" car might help as well).

Yes all the spy reports originally said Tokyo and Autoblog even said Tokyo a few times (when they talked about the hype of the Honda NSX not coming but it still being a faceoff of the Skyline, Impreza and Evo at Tokyo is one example).
It definitely looks hot in Blue, but i'd love to see more pictures of it in Black also. Every color i've seen sofar looks good anyway.

My local mitsu dealer had an add in the paper a few weeks ago saying the new evo X was coming in 08 and that you can place a pre-order. So yea I'm pretty sure we're getting it, bad news it'll probably be around $50,000 while the states will probably have it for $30,000. Also, the 08 Evo is not allowed to be imported for some reaso. Thank RIV once again for not letting us import a good car for a crap load less. No evo, no r32, no R34 skyline... I hate RIV

Wow... I think I actually like the Evo 9 the best. Like so many I really like the front end, but that's where it ends for me. Actually, I don't like the big plasticy strip right above the FMI. Also, I don't like it in red, but I prefer black and white, which I think looks the best so far. However, I will be excited to see it around. What I would really like more than the Evo X or 9, is one of those beautiful brown-haired models standing next to it in the black dresses. Now if Mitsu could offer them with 100,000 something-or-other warrenties with them I'd be sold!!!

The new blue is amazing! It looks like a mix between the old "Blue-By-You" and the "Electric Blue". Also, good job with the models Mitsu...

Too bad there's not a better spot for the license plate.

Thankfully, I live in PA where you don't have to ruin the front end of a nice car with a nasty looking plate. I wonder how many other states allow no front plate?
That really does wreck the front of that car. Even if mounted in the center it's gonna look bad, or at least mess with air-flow into the motor.

I live in AZ. Front license plates are not required. ;)

Does anyone else besides me think those girls are more interesting than the Lancer EVO?

Random dude, "Do you come with the car?"
Model, "Oh, You!"
Next guy steps up...
"Do you come with the car?"
[Its a Simpsons gag if you don't get it.]
Seriously, though, every time I look at the new Evo (great looking car) it makes me believe Subaru is probably going to redesign the front end of the STI in one to two years, as usual.

One of the drawbacks of the internet and the proliferation of enthusiast car magazines is that there is so much availability of information about an upcoming new model anthing that by the time the car actually goes on sale it seems like old news. The Evo X is a really good example of this. The Evo X has not been for sale in the U.S. yet, but it already feels like it has been on the market for a long time.

It's has a beautifully mean, yet a rifined rugged look. I just put in a pre-order for a Black MR with entertainment package. Can't wait until I get it in January!!

"It has"*
p.s. Black is only available in the more expensive MR package, while the Blue is only available in the more basic GSR package.

You lucky ***** lol! I wish I could afford an MR in black, that would be perfect. Well, there's always the lottery...
