My neighbor had a GS-T in college and it was a beast. Upgraded snails, and engine mods = made me piss my pants during a drive-along :icon18:

LOL, I loved my GSX.. and I actually like my 3rd gen.. but then again, it wasn't stock...

Mitsu’s global product director Gayu Eusegi, and he heard some rather jarring news:

The Lancer Evolution X, Eusegi told me, will be the last Evo. “There is still a demand [for the car],” he said, “but we must stop.” Eyebrow up.

“Our influence now is EV technology,” Eusegi said, adding that the decision was a “policy change”.

:rolleyes:

Go spend some time on EvoM (which I do plenty of)... you'll find more info on there.

The word, as of right now, is the Evo might be taking a different direction (be it electric, hybrid, etc.) depending on market/demand. It won't be getting the axe.

Agree! im not against the performance of XI. only then there were some body tweaks and some common thing were ommited from it including the power seats and the anti lock brakes.

Even though sports car enthusiasts are always a small % of a customer base, these companies aren't doing themselves any favors by kicking them to the curb. (see Honda, Mazda, and a long time ago,...Toyota)

I've never been convinced Mitsubishi (auto) is much more than a tax shelter for the parent company.

I understand the need for a new direction, but if you actually care about selling cars, why kill the only halo cars you have?
