The MR Edition sticker looks so lame... the '03 LanEvo looked better.

Thanks for the article and the pics, wish they were hi-res.

This evo has a nice package, and i dont mind the looks. Best part has to be all the technology in this car and for such a cheap a price 8)

I always love the evolution series...but this MR?
There's something wrong with the roof? there are some spike or sort of weird aerodynamic system...

Great looking cars, a little riced with the wings, but it is an EVO. Thanks for the pics.

Nice on the outside, a little plastic on the inside, come on, that steering wheel messes up the whole damn car! They can atleast put in aproper racing wheel!!!

Well you have to have an Airbag to sell a car in most parts of the world these days so that would require more than just a thin piece of metal and padding, the wheel is very close to a racing wheel hell it's even built by MOMO if I'm correct just like Subaru's execpt this one looks better. And plastic yes it needs to be affordable and lightweight to be in this car and that would leave you with plastic.

Actually last year, all the rally teams started doing these slants in the rear wings/spoilers. They were suppose to help the car stay planted when it is going sideways i.e. drift.

yeah your point is?
they are called diffusers...
They don't drift in WRC they Power Slide
Also there aren't any WRC cars that have them on the roof like that either the cars that do use them (not all do) have them on the rear wing like the Scooby.

lol mild revision i like that, how much is the standard evo.....30000? basically 5 extra hp and 6 cogs now for this version and a few interior appointments. all for the low sum of around 5 grand. not sure if its worth it but im sure it will sell just to have the mac daddy evo.

kinda reminds me of the bullet mustang +5hp and +3 tq.
