You posted a prototype Evo there. Obviously the production one does not look like that.

To me they do look alike just like the wrx looks like mazda 3. Basic overall shape. I am not saying the thing is ugly I just said the GTS doesn't look all that much different than the EVO in the end.

Also I am curious to see where people have seen the new STi?? All I've seen is photochops

[black13]

well i'm digging the look! If only i could afford it.

Anyone know what kind of numbers this car is pushing?
And a price?
As well as a launch date in canada?

up to 325 hp
around 50K
late this year, early next.

These are my educated guesses

[jf97talon]

hopefully thats 325awhp or something along those lines
I heard a couple months ago that the premium model would be selling for around $42,000k. but thats a great price so i highly doubt it.
Can't wait to take these out for a test drive.

The exterior differences from the prototype are only the wheels and foglights. As you can see the the EVO has fender flares, ground effects, front end, hood, roof, and spoiler, wheels all different from the GTS. If it looked completely 100% different they wouldn't be Lancers would they. Does an STi not look like a WRX or regular Imprezza??? You hate Mitsu's so why disguise your post?

Illegal in Canada, so irrelevant to owning one.

pretty sexy car
the front is really agressive...i love it
the back is alright
id buy one

Sucks. Proportion is wrong. It looks like it took a hit on the kisser and swollen up.

The concept WAY better than this piece.

I know nothing good will come out of the EVO when I saw the plain jane Lancer.

IMO, other than the front, it looks just like:



What is SHOULD be:


and what it turn out to be:

It's slowly growing on me, I still like the Evo IX more though.

[dino_martini]

Holy shit, that is an amazing looking car. I saw a New Lancer today and had to do a double take and all my buddies were like "thats a lancer? no way". It is a really good looking car, the Evo looks amazing. If only I had more money to go and put a deposit down.

i really dig the older styles, starting at IV, but this X is sure as hell growing on me

You are right. Shit, might as well stop trying to hide it...

[treg50]

Hmm. I liked the sharper edges on the Evo concept because it gave it a TSX-ish look.

[GQBalla]

i would still buy one if i could afford it

Agreed. Even the base lancer looks nice when you see them in person. Definately the nicest looking compact sedan on the market. If the regular Lancer looks that good in person I'm sure the EVO won't disappoint.

Maybe I'm blind but I don't see any differences outside of wheels headlight innards, gas cap, rear fender lines (production one looks identical to the pic I posted though) & foglights. You make it out like the concept looks completely different?
