Exclamation Mitsubishi Unleashes Lancer Evolution IX

o3.o2.o5 Press Release

Over-View Video (In Japanese)
Click On "ランサーエボリューション IX"

My Take: Ive been doing my research on this car, and I feel in love with it shortly after. Im glad to see it getting "MIVEC", which would really help the topend and give the evo more torque down below. I like the rear bumper defuser, but im not to happy about the front , ehh... it'll grow on me. Well, I know I want it, so I HAVE TO GET IT. Im glad I passed on the MR... the IX has all the features of the MR, plus MORE. Ill have in-person pics and vids when mitsu unviels it to us @ MODo5 in late april.

Also check out the JDM Turbo Ralliart

... I dunno the new headlights seem like a downgrade or somethin i dont like em. I think it would sell less than current evo, cuz its uglier.

IMO, the subtle little changes make it look 10x better than the current Evo. Just my opinion, though. It'll be interesting to see what the next-gen WRX/STi looks like...

I'm impressed with the new styling. They did a good thing with the front clip of it.

The IX I've heard is just kind of a stopgap with minor upgrades from the Evo8, the next version, the X (10) is supposed to finally get rid of the 4G63 in favour or a turbocharged, smaller, direct injection engine. Or at least thats what car magazine articles have told me.

Hmm just rent a room from the dealer that way you'll be close to it all the time when it gets fixed once a week.
