Doesn't look any different to me, but I don't follow the EVO 8 very closely.

And I agree, looks like an econocar with a big wing. I'm sure it's performance will be fine though.

I'm sure it'll be more than fine. As it stands, you won't find a better performance package (acceleration, braking, handling, etc...) for less and this new model is supposed to improve on that even more.

I hate the looks too, but i've been a big fan of the Evo lately.

Re: New! Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IX footage

Looks an awful lot like the EVO VIII. The horsepower rating while different for the UK seems pretty close to here (281 compared to what, 276 now?)

Evo is cool tho

Ditto with everyone above. It's sad to see one of the best new cars be imports (this and that Subaru).

I think it's better lookign than the 8. Seems to be going back to the look of the older ones somewhat.

Re: New! Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IX footage

only difference i see is the taillights. but i've always kinda like the EVO. mainly for its practicality while still having some performance.

Re: New! Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IX footage

If a killer Camaro doesnt come out, that may very well be my next car. I cant think of something that would be more fun to drive for the money than an Evo.

Killer as in one topping the EVO in every performance aspect? That probably won't be an easy task. I think a 5th gen will have it beat in the acceleration department, but the braking and handling might favor the lighter/smaller EVO.
