The latest issue of Automobile mag says that Mitshubishi will bring over the EVO in 2002 as a 2003 model you can go here if you want more info on the EVO VII

There are just too many neet cars out or comeing out.
What to buy???

I like the EVO VII a lot so I will have to buy one.
I guess I need to get on a list. And get off the list for
the Mini 'S'.

This is the first i have heard about the EVO's showing up here in the USA. I will get one if they are anything close to as fast as they say. that damned WRX had me excited until it actually came out... 0-100 in 17+ is not my idea of fast.

They are very fast. In comparison testing, the EVO VII walked all over the WRX STi so it should decimate the WRX.

Waiting patiently. . .

How do you like the color combo on the valve cover? Look familiar?

OMG... did you read about the adjustable differential? I would almost certainly have to get one of these! Might have to try ProRallying!
