Although I am not a Mitsu fan whatsoever and would not buy one I must say that the new design is MUCH better than the old one and is definetley attractive. I am quite disappointed inSubaru's latest attempt though.

I'm not digging the chrome trim along the bottom of the sideglass considering its a hardcore/rally racer, hopefully itll be black for the prodo version.

Oh wait....that is ridiculously minor detail to complain about, I guess that means I approve.

I think that new evo looks ugly, just like the new sti. Yes it does look alot like the eclipse, maybe they are sharing the same platform, which i'm not a big fan of the eclipse, i also think the eclipse is an ugly car. The current evo looks alot better than the new one, but of course, these are just my opinions, everyone has their likes and dislikes.

I really like the interior, especially the two bucket seats in the back, it's starting to look more like a sports car. I was looking at the front end, and i think the new one looks really mean and nice, better than the current one. The thing I don't like with the new evo is the sides, it's too plain, it would have looked better with a wide body in the back, I don't like the rear end, except for the dual tips.

I'm positive this car will be a really good performance car, way better than the current evo. I'm a Ford guy but, I have to give Mitsubishi for making great performance cars even though they went bankrupt many times because of low sales.

Does anyone know the specs of this Evo and or what the price is going to be?

I agree, it does look like the new Eclipse, and that's not a good thing IMO. Oh well, to each their own.

I'm probably the only guy who can't see similarity between those 2 cars.

That car is nasty, from the side it looks like a shortened Mercedes CLS, the front looks like an Audi on crack, and the back looks like a Mazda 3. Basically it is one ugly riced-up mutt of a car IMO. Yuck.

The Evo is supposed to be either an 07 or 08, have 300hp(ish) and stay around $30k. Nothin new really.
