The rear 3/4 shot (pic 3) is quite Alfa-esque and reminded me of the 156 a bit.

It's striking but still not especially good looking. Doubtless it will as accomplished as the last couple of Evo iterations, if not more so.

Vast improvement on the current shape.

Rear needs more presence.

One thing to remember, these cars are functional and never trying to look "nice" only to look tough and not too shit

A7DY, the main thing is the Super AYC which is baffling, but there are a lot of other tweaks. I think they will offer the same bhp type models.

Looks like it'll finally accommodate a (slightly smaller than) normal front number plate. Those offset front ones always let down Evos and Alfas ...

Not sure where they will put it. There are 2 centre vents fedding the front mount, so they wont block those.

One down point, ive just noticed the twin rear exhausts. Totally pointless on a 4 pot motor, and just for show. Ok on the S2000 they look smart and they suit that type of car but from a techincal point of view, on an Evo it just doesn't fit well with the technology or the ethos of the car IMO.

Dont like that one bit.

Not convinced about the interior, but I love the look from the outside.

I thought the line of the doors looks like the Accord.

looks like an SRT4 with a body kit

doesn't the new EVO use the SRT4 platform? Or maybe it was that the 2nd gen SRT4 which isn't happening was going to share the EVO X platform....
