Not sure what the build plans are at this point. They will almost certainly do rims and tires. Some nice forged Ray's would be nice. Maybe a larger intercooler and some hard pipes to replace the stock hot-side intake parts. Probably a detail. The EVO VIII came pretty well equipped performance wise so I don't know what else they might do. Transmission and center dif upgrades are pretty much limited to one or two sources. (Buscher Racing did his dif on his previous EVO.) Turbo upgrade is probably beyond their time and dollar budget.

Dave, the older of the two presenters, is something of a hot shoe and a big EVO fan so I expect they will do a nice job.

Speaking of Teslas- I saw two drastically different ones the other day.

Now, I'm not a fan of the Tesla 3 at all. It looks like someone from the blue-man group wearing a hat, under the mask. Ugh...

But there was a white one, with white rims. Looked sharp, then after that, one in some drab olive color.. I had to hold back the vomit.

Tesla's are rare around here but I heard someone in the San Fran area say they were as common as Chevy's; except the fit and finish on Chevy's was 10 times better.

Mike, where are they located in Canada? They sure had issue putting in the trans in that one video where the guy almost lost a finger.

I think they are in Oakville, ONT. That's between Hamilton and Mississauga.

Yeah, that vid with the trannie was about the scariest thing I've ever seen on their channel.

They are surprisingly common down here. We see one or two almost every time we are out and about. So not pickup-common, but hardly rare.

I see more Teslas than any other make when I'm in Lake Forest/Mission Viejo or Orange County in of Southern California.

Has anyone mentioned the 2022 KIA EV6, here? Damn fine looking to my eyes. I don't want all electric. A man on the Honda Crosstour Facebook page, who lives in Terrebonne, Quebec, said he's getting one so he's selling his Crosstour.

I don't think the VE6 has been discussed here. I agree that it is a very cute ute. It's fraternal twin form Hyundai also features some dramatic styling, but more video game retro than futuristic.
