The next generation EVO will be no joke. Quality of the fit and finish is much improved.Car and Driverrecently did a review on the Evo X where they are claiming 0-60 mph in 3.8 secs. I highly doubt that, but the power will likely be boosted to about 320 hp stock, and it will come with the ACD/AWD/and Active Yaw Control.

EVO X will be a dissapiontment if you are expecting a jump in performance over the EVO IX. While it will pick up 20hp to 320, it also picks up 200lbs. A result of the Lancer becoming a bigger, more luxurious car. It also gets active handling and a more intelegent AWD system, but racing around relying on the active handling to make the car turn is not fun or precise. Unless the car gets bigger, stickier tires, it probably will not corner better either, due to the wieght. If you like the current performance, and just don't like the car because it is a "tin can," then you might like the new EVO X very much because the quality/refinement/looks deprtment is where the improvement is. As a Z06 guy, I respect the EVO very much, but see it as a rival, not my next car. So to me, I was relieved to see that it's not getting leaner and meaner. The racers will stick with the very potent EVO IX and leave the EXO X to the less hard core amoung us. .02 deposited.

I've actually seen it said in a few articles that Mitsu is looking to step up the class of competition, from the all out hard core battle wtih the STI to taking on BMW M3. Now , I don't know how they can draw a BMW owner to Mitsubishi, but that's what has been said in a few places.
