Evo 9

weeeeeell, it that time again - where i go through rationalizing whether to sell the car or not. the three cars that come to mind immediately are the 06 STi(because of it's great reviews thus far), the Land Rover LR3, and the Evolution 9. took a look at the LR3 today, and it's a sweet, comfortable SUV. Going to look at the new STi hopefully next week

but i'm looking at pics online of the new Evo, and it looks good: http://www.exoticcarsite.com/pages/mitsubishi_evo9.htm

sorry for the small pics - go to the site where you can see them...very big

i like the new front and rear bumpers. - you have to view the large pic of the rear bumper to see how nice it is. overall, looks cleaner. too bad the interior still looks cheap

Nice, I dunno 'bout getting a Land Rover. The only person that I know who owned one had lots of problems. IMO the Japanese and the Germans build the best cars. Of course I'd still love to own an Elise (at least it has a Toyota powertrain )

The USDM Evo 9 will still have the Evo 8 rear bumper. The pics posted were of a JDM Evo 9. Fortunately you can buy the JDM Evo 9 bumper and replace it. There are guys with the Evo 8 who already have the JDM Evo 9 rear bumper. Looks a lot better with the JDM bumper in my opinion.

Yup, the interior still looks cheap, but it looks a lot better than the Evo 8 interior. At least the seats and carpet arn't blue. The USDM Recaro seats are a little different than the JDM Recaro's, there bigger cause us Americans have bigger rumps than the japanese. But they are still better than the seats that come in the STi.

Check this site out for USDM Evo 9 pics:
