Very nice. Evo is a great car. Post more pics! would like to see the full interior and exterior.

And yes, the new evo have the Automatic dual clutch which has great reviews on how fast it switches gear in between.

Good looking Evo! Love the new ones, especially since they're the first ones to come to Canada.

I wouldn't necessarily consider the MR the top model. Sure, it's the most expensive but I really think it's been hamstrung by a tranny that can't handle power.

I'm not too sure if I like the new evo's. I loved the evo VIII. The rear on the X is something I have to grow into. Other than that, the car is nice! I wish I had all that power the EVO has.

wow, I just got my 350 and i'm already thinking about trading in for the EVO next year.. How's the drive comparing to the 350? You think you're going to get sick of it? I know those are stupid questions, but just wondering!

Nice setup, lookin' good! Would have went that way myself if I wasn't worried about a first year DCT, or learning to drive stick on a 30k+ car.

WOW... nicely done. I dont think I have ever seen a Mitsu treated with such class. And that is one striking color scheme!! Just great.

You feel a lot more connected to the car with the Evo, basically, you just need to drive one to understand. Whether or not I'll get sick of the car remains to be seen. I've had it for about 10 months and haven't regretted the change at all.
