A 240SX with an LS1 dropped in will kill that M5, BUT THIS THREAD ISN'T ABOUT THAT IS IT? For fuck's sake.

Originally posted by RobSt*r The new EVO's look nice but the second gen 4g63 engines, found in older evo's, first gen talons, and first gen eclipes's have the best motors IMO. I would know, I built and raced them for years. Theres so much more aftermarket support for those motors to make them unstopable. Not saying I wouldnt love a new evo though Theres nothing like a 4 banger, turbo charged, AWD 500 HP car smoking a 80,000 dollar sports car off the line, from a roll, or on the hwy. The look on peoples faces are priceless when they realize they just got owned by a 4 cylender.

amen brotha!

the new Evo will no doubt be quite a performer, as they all are.

I can't say I'm diggin' the styling...cheap looking front and rear end. Interior is nice though.

I highly doubt on a twisty course the M5 could hold a candle to the Lancer Evolution. The M5 is a high-powered touring sedan, not a corner carver.



vvv aftercooler vvv

^^^ I like it more than the EVO 8 & 9. They looked too tame. The tail of this one looks too Acura TL-ish.

This one has some anger in it, but not like the 6

Now they just need to fix the bumpers for the CDN market (or move the intercooler back a bit so it doesn't get hit, which was also a problem for the EVO and Neon SRT from an insurance standpoint).

Edit; For MarkT

Guys, if you are going to racing track every weekend, well go ahead just get racing car.
I'm talking about day to day driving, nothing will beat germans. Most people are fans of asian cars until they have proper driving experience with BMW/AUDI/MB.
And I'm talking about actual ownership, not just when you borrowed it for a 10 minutes spin around block.
I agree its not easy for average canadian male to drive 50 grand car, but, what can I say......

And what's wrong with Lexus and Infiniti? ...I left out Acura because who gives a shit about a luxo-barge with a V6.

Where the fuck did you get that I even REMOTELY liked Civics? Because I mentioned a 240SX, which *gasp* is a Japanese car?

If you didn't get my previous point, I'll spell it out for you, a used car is a used car. They're obviously not worth as much as a new car. So if you wanna compare brand new Evo X to something, then it has to be a brand new car. And your E49 M5 cost $100,000 brand new. It's comparing apples and oranges. Might as well have compared it to a Carrera GT, like cro_addict did earlier.

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.

Hey Vertigo,

I was thinking of getting a 07' STI in spring but after seeing that suby hatch im having second thoughts..lol When is that hiting production??
I never was a big fan of Mitsubishi.. what is this new evolution gonna cost? around 30-40k?
