Mitsubishi Announces Lancer Evolution X and Galant Fortis (JA)

Most of the MSP owners I know have taken the wings off their cars.

Eat s***.

To me an msp without the wing is just another protege minus the hp. I love both the 2003 and 2003.5 wings. Gives the car character imo. And it isn't factory rice.

Personally, I like my cars to be fast, but not advertise it to every kid in a Honda with a fart-can exhaust driving down the street.

If it makes you feel any better, I think my MS6 tails with the chrome in them look kinda ricey.

Let's keep this on topic, though. We're talking about Evo's here, not MSP's. You guys made that jump on your own.

In related news, Mitsubishi actually turned a profit last year, for the first time since 2002.

i'd prefer my car wingless without altezzas. the altezza issue is being addressed over the summer (going with evo 7 tails) but the wing isn't worth the cost to remove to me. it is a reason i didn't go with the 03.5 msp though, giant wing on a slow, subtle car doesn't work. the evo is loud and aggressive looking and can actually back it up so the wing isn't as bad, i'd still prefer either a small one or none though but it wasn't an option for me


are they still offering a traditional manual as well as the smg-type garbage? last i heard both would be an option but that was a while ago so things may have changed.

There's going to be a 5-spd manual and a 6-spd paddle shifter tranny.

good, only doing the paddle shifter thingy would have been bad, esp since it's their first venture into manumatics, they'll have some bugs to work out for sure like the first SMGs from BMW

 

[TinmanMS6]

I'd kind of like my next car to have one of these. I love manual trannies, but around here, traffic is so bad, it'd be nice to put it in automatic mode. The MS6's clutch hates driving in heavy traffic.

....and the interior looks like?????

Interior looks better!Way better than the current one's cheap looking interior.Check out the new Outlander to give you a better idea.

I like how mean and intimidating the Evo X looks like..front and back,lol!But I heard that it will have 20" rims.I hope that's not true.
