Default US Lancer Evo VIII pics

[QUOTE]Listen guys, I work with Greg at Mitsu. All he is trying to do is help anyone out that may be interested in the EVO VIII. As far as I am concerned, I believe we have the best source of information coming to us from this Dealership considering the owner is part of the design team that built the EVO VIII. Most of you dont know this but the EVO VIII will be featured in the new movie "The Fast and Furious 2" as the main "fast" vehicle everyone has to beat. The reason we know this is the owner of this Dealership arranged this to happen.

It may be ugly, but the WRX isn't too much better. I don't find either car to look all that bad though. I heard we we're getting a detuned model. Guess not. Yay! So the EVo VI was more powerful? I read somewhere a long time ago about how its engine was better somehow, but I forget. Either way, this looks like it will be a hell lor of bang for the buck. I wonder how it will fare against the WRX STi.

as I know, EVO 7 is quicker than STi, but STi's reliability is much better than EVO 7

I've been thinking about getting an EVO VI. I know theres a few places in the US that'll import them for rougly 35k. That'd be a nice car to have. Been thinking about getting rid of my WRX.

Evo VII is not even available yet and dealers are already talking about markups over MSRP. They will be hurting their own sales from people like me who would consider buying for MSRP or less. I refused to get raped like the 2000 S2000's when they were first introduced only a year later selling for $2000 under MSRP.
