Default Production Evo

details here

I think it carries over too much of the base lancer. I originally expected to love the next Evo, but mitsu kinda left me wanted something much more aggresive looking.

**reminds me of the release of the CR

Not even close to the CR.

It is easy to see what they are doing. They are dumbing down the looks a little bit for more wide appeal. That car is one of the strong ones, and they want to increase sales.

I think it will look nice in person. It will be a little toned down from the predator meats insect look I have now. But, it is at least interesting to look at especially compared to what's coming from toyota and honda these days. I have seen some new base lancers in person and they look pretty nice for a cheap car.

i do like the new look of the lancer's. what i meant in reference to the CR was how i was disappointed in how the Evo looks compared to the base car, like i was disappointed in how the new aero mods looked on the CR.

I'm by no means putting this car down, and i wouldn't mind owning one.

I think it looks fine. It has the looks, the mechanics, and the power. I'm positive the fun will also be there.

I can see myself in one of these...

DSG, DSG, and DSG. :-)

Any transmission you want as long as it's a DSG.

I'm still on the fence. The red and the front little hood scoop thing makes it look like a Dodge.
