bigger turbo, and mivec should prove to be mod friendly and i think the new bumber is way better than the viii and i cant help but think (i know it may not be true) that most of the used evos have been abused. cant wait to get my 2006 Weightless White Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution iX RS !!!!

i have a 2003 evo... .been a good car so far... 18k miles now... unless i got a really great deal I don't see much difference to justify the name change.
I think I actually dislike the front look compared to mine. I do like that dark blue though. (i think it started in 2005 though).
the IX only has a handfull more HP than the VIII..... you can get used 2003 evo VIII's for about $22-23k if you look around.... they come with 5 year, 60k powertrain warranty (assuming the car hasn't been modified too much).

You guys don't see the big picture... the Evo and Sti's get new numbers all the time with very little modifications, case in point... http://sportcompactcarweb.com/featur...scc_lancerevo/
I think a slightly used Evo would be a better purchase than a new Evo IX. Even the 2005's with supposedly more hp aren't running any quicker than the 2003-2004 versions.
