That car is computerised so you can never veer off the road, you can steer that thing with ONE FINGER and lord knows at what speed. 0-60 in three seconds? bloody hell and there's space in the back for three people to sit comfortable.
I'm pro Toyota, but this beauty has gotten my attention.
[however, Mit -PAJEROS totally different story]

I like the front end, nothing looks more tough on a car than flat black. Hopefully it makes it to production and doesn't get replaced with a cheesey/plastic looking gunmetal colour.

Ya I'm big into the car scene (own a WRX) and the reason why the past EVO's haven't made it into Canada is because they don't pass the 5km/h crash test. Every car entering into Canada is allowed up to a certain amount of damage in $$ and because of the EVO's front mount, even at the 5km/h impact it still doesn't pass.
Same thing happened with the SRT4's the first year - USA got them in 2003 we didnt get them till 2004. Frankly, Mitsubishi didn't feel like modyifing the front bumper of the EVO's for a small niche of people in Canada who would even buy them - Chevy on the other hand did, and succeeded.
Yes, the rhumors are true and Mitsu will be bringing the next set of EVO's in, but really - nothing will be like the old versions, they were just a lot better looking in my opinion.

This is going to sound somewhat hypocritical since I have a computer directing torque to different wheels depending on wheelspin, and ABS, but I prefer to be the one driving the car, not the computer.

Maybe 3 Japanese boys will be comfortable.

HEY EVERYBODY LETS POST PICTURES OF $100,000+ CARS IN A THREAD ABOUT A $40,000 CAR
IT'S SUCH A GREAT IDEA THAT MAKES PERFECT SENSE
Anyway, I prefer the new Subie Impreza hatch to the Evo X. Also I bet the Lancer Evo X we get will be drastically modified at the front to meet our draconian front-impact tests. Inside sources say November 2007 for the Lancer Evo X in Canada.

Thats why it cost 40 grand, because its POS.
Would be silly to expect something else.
