cant say that I love it. I want to see more on their electric evo.

taygunho 09-28-2005 08:55 AM

IMO it looks like dodge concepts but i like it. headlights are better than current version. but i hate this backside.

redbaron 09-28-2005 09:16 AM

I like it, especially when you filter out all concept car gimmicks.
I don't like the rear wing, looks a little bit cheap

Remember, it's hust a Concept; depending on reaction to the public, we may see little to none of these design cues. Ronin is right, that front end does remind me of the Challenger drawing. First thing that struck my eye on this car is that there are some similarities design-wise to the Renault Laguna.

Both, the Concept X and the Sportback are impressive, from the rear it resembles Alfas, don't it?

DeMoN 09-29-2005 09:44 AM

now that car looks nice... its a concept though, Im pretty sure this wont come out that pretty.

gtx28 09-29-2005 10:50 AM

Pehtren 09-29-2005 04:53 PM

SilviaEvo 09-29-2005 08:05 PM

really fucking ugly! has none of the style the older EVO's had except the EVO VIII those are ugly too.

Sir_GT 09-29-2005 10:27 PM

That's the best looking Lancer I've ever seen.

Crap. Here I was saving up to get an M3 come 2007, and Mitsubishi throws this in my face...

That new M3 better be cracking 4.5 seconds to the 60, or I'm going for the rally car. :D

If they produced it and if I had the money, I"d buy one immediately. Then probably regret it later on cos i want somethign else or something. But it's awesome.

Looks like an aston bonnet and lights at first glance. The rear 1/3 looks like a Honda.

but hey, cars these days have features that look like one car or the other.

Are you comparing a M3 with a Lancer? :? This car will be great (if it's ever produced) but with the M3 you've good quality... and a wow factor that the Lancer doesn't have.

I wish I could say that M3 still has a wow factor here... but it's so common in the UK that people no longer notice it.

In fact, that's one of the reasons why it appeals to me... people know it's an M3, but no longer see it as a show-off car because it's so common, like the Mini Cooper S, but they do know it's a good car.

Keep in mind that a top-spec stock Evo X would be in the regions of £30k here, whilst an M3 would be about £40k. £10k could get me another car... a new Renault Clio in fact. :)

corpse_grinder0 09-30-2005 09:55 AM

is it just me or does that rear end resemble an rx-8.. maybe its the sleep deprevation getting to me, but I just noticed that.

Pehtren 09-30-2005 12:27 PM

inside is rubbish :(

Although I've never been one to defend Japanese cars (I've never been a fan), and even though I don't fancy the thought of a boy-racer wing either, I must admit that that the wing isn't useless. Nor should a stock Evo be considered rice.

It's a rally car, just like the STI, both of which would match some of the fastest euro cars out there in a 0-60 sprint, and probably dust them in the corners thanks to their rally-bred 4WD systems, except that these cost only a third of the price.

You have to admit, there is some serious appeal in something that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, can carry four adults, their luggage, and piss off the driver in the M6. :)

Pehtren 09-30-2005 02:09 PM

no i think its a concept
:D

maja 09-30-2005 06:13 PM

the rear looks like like Seat, side like BMW and Acura, the front looks like a modified Acura TL by some trash tunner.
And inside... no comment.
I don't like it :twisted:

I agree with you in every single word you've writen :D ... but I was talking about the wow factor of the BMW against the Evo, which most people (non can enthusiast) consider it's a rice cheap sedan... :? What I wanted to say is that a M3 can't be compared with a Lancer Evo, the same way a M3 can't be compared with a F430 :wink:

Well, yes. That's what you pay the extra 10 grand for. :)

Or in the F430's case... the extra 80 grand. :)
