If these aren't official, they've got to be pretty close to.

What does everyone think?

It looks a little......boring. I was expecting something radical like the X-concept a while back. If those headlights are changed just a little bit, then it would be good. The headlights don't look like those in the official sketch.

The concept was much more agresssive.

if its real then i like it, i think the evolution would have a more agressive look, like the concept x

The rear is very cool looking, but the front looks tired or something.

BORG · 11-12-2006, 10:37 PM

Looks great, although the low res photos makes me wonder if something is photochoped around the lights. I don't think these are bogus, but there is much more detail to see.

I don't have a lot of faith in Mitsubishi products so no matter how good it looks, it has a lot to prove before I'm attracted to the brand.

Looks like a toned-down twin of the concept... that's about exactly what could have been expected, so I think it's the real thing.

Photoshop. Big time. It's Vince Burlapp so you expect it to not be real.

Gm786 · 11-12-2006, 10:39 PM

I don't like the way the front looks. It looks slanted down a bit too much.

ScottS · 11-12-2006, 10:42 PM

It's a good looking car.

The overall design looks the 99-2003 Galant and the current Volvo S40 combined with a Mazda6 hood.

This looks like the base $15-20k Lancer, not the Evo. Pretty good looking for that segment, IMO.

Photochop with out a doubt. Mitsu said that it will very similar to the concept. We shall see. Its gonna be unveiled in January.
