she said that the Evo 8 would be there at the end of the month. I asked her what MSRP was, but she said she didnt know and that she would have a sales guy call me.

So the Evo will be here in a week???

 

WTF? Yeah maybe the OZ Rally Edition Lancer...NON-EVO>

 

very interesting

rob- who hopes it wont be a watered down pansy mobile...

 

evo 8?? you shure you didn't click on the wrong key?? i've never heard of an evo 8.

 

The new lancer will in fact be called the EVO VIII (8)

 

thats correct, they skipped over the 7 designation for the US apparently.

 

yep, they've change the front end styling from the evo vii...

sorta looks like the galant's face now

 

a few have already recived the evo's here in the US. a FEW...

 

oh i didn't know that......any pictures?

 

If they have already received them it is probably from the company that imports the EVO 7's. Ive heard our official EVO's wont be here till january.

 

Does any body kno where to find pictures of the evo 8.

 

I think it "sorta" looks like a Pontiac.

Either way, I'm not complaining too much...my WRX looks like a 4 dr Neon on steroids.

 

Hmm, very interesting...
I'm 3rd on the list here at the local Mitsu dealer to receive an EVO VIII if/when they begin arriving. I haven't heard from them yet though. But either way, the turbo bug bit me too hard so I couldn't wait and boosted my R instead. If they call I'll have to decline
FWIW when I was in there inquring about it and putting my name on one he said there would be atleast 3 trim Level's available. I have no clue if thats true or false but it was something like this:
1. stripped down race version
2. middle of the road version(some comfort features etc)
3. fully loaded version

 

they have the evo 6.5 on rallispeed challenge on my Xbox.. i was like "6.5, hmm must be as good as the 7. "

 

I have seen one in person, Though it was in traffic, seemed like bussiness men were in it, and it also happened to be right down street from dealership! Looked cool, but had a diamond star sticker on the Large wing? eric

 

Whats interesting is that the Evo 8 is listed at Davis Mitsubishi at 276 hp They say its coming with that spec. Interesting eh?

 

Here's some pics, not as agressive IMO.

 

i dont think those are the pics of the evo viii. the ones i have seen are pretty damn ugly and those pics look nothing like the ones i have seen. i just hope your pics are the right ones, cos the ones that i saw were so ugly i lost my lunch over it.

 

i like it. i'd drive one.

 

Still pretty nice but definately not as racey.

 

That looks a hell of alot like the EVO 7. When the 7 first came out, I thought it looked like *** compared to the 5 and 6. The 6 is still my favorite

Is this what you guys are looking for?

or is this the evo VII

 

that's that shop in so cal that sells basically street legal Jspec lancer evo VII's..

 

Whether you think it's ugly or not, this car is going to kick some major ***. I actually prefer the Evo V look

 

according to the mitsu sitehere, they won't be here for another 72 days as of today. (See countdown timer on site.)
