But i have to say that the exterior design still needs LOTS of work!!! It looks like a Mazda from the rear, dont mind the front view tho, but definately has the rear of a Mazda model. The side profiles look a tad bit weird too, it slants a bit too much, and the rear door looks a bit cramped getting in and out of.... I reckon they should've just vamped up the EVO 5/6 bodykitted model just a bit like they did to the Evo 7/8's to keep that real ralliart look!!! i reckon the evo 5/6 bodykit looked freakin' awesom, with the beasty front bar and floodlights and hood! and not to mention the two tiered spoiler!!!! YEOUCH!! :o) Should've just worked from there! Otherwise, i love the motor!!! always up for a suped up engine!! *two thumbs up* but like someone said b4, it looks a bit weird interior-wise too.... but i guess thats wat happens when its a first in a line of new designs.. the first few always look a bit crummy... Keep working on the design guys! Love your Evo work!! Any future for a two door/coupe???? When's this vehicle coming to Australia??? and how much $$$$? I worship EVO’s!!!!!

(isn't like Nuvolari concept?) and it's has briliant engine maybe. The scenario shown that the Jap sportcar was introduce thier icon as well. For the Evo, the Impreza is waiting at the rallye competition. Style is not at all, the more important is how it's works! This is not the evolution, this should the revolution. Great job, Mr.Mitsu.

(i dislike the rear end..) its interesting to find an aluminium engine block in a Mitsu though... and still 2.0L compared to Impreza offered 2.5L ? aluminium reduce weight and run cooler... but hopefully its not softer too(for a 400bhp or more)... any infos on its LSD or Active YAW control or ESP or Traction system or etc... don't know until when we could see a Diesel powered Lan EVO, maybe a 2.5L from the Triton(after modified)....

Looks like predestrian safety laws are dictating how new cars look nowadays. Looks like there wont be any more sleek front ends for a while. Ever wondered why all the hoods (or bonnets as some call it) have that raised section? Laws dictate 4" of room between the underside of the hood and the top of the engine. Hehehe…
