So Thoughts On Da nu EVO X ???

I agree with him^^^^. You need to step up your speaking and writing even if it's casual conversation.
Anyway, the new Evo and WRX have actually really grown onto me. I remember a statement somewhere about how either one or the other or even both are trying to break out of the whole "street racing" type scene that the Evo and WRX are very popular with and try to attract a more mature type scene. Also with all the problems with gas and the environment, maybe a step down is nice off the track...because I guess nowadays the more "mature" scene people don't like high revving engines in the middle of the street...I don't know. I'm not a big favor of the step down in performance but, for that it Mitsubishi is taking a bigger step as a company I suppose...stepping into a more conformed style for their cars.

Well, they are indeed aiming it at a different audience. They're aiming it at the same people who bought previous versions of the Evo/STi as kids and want a car that's got that lineage without all the "problems" that come from it. And the "street racer" scene isn't new, it's not even remotely so. It started here in the states over 70 years ago, and was biggest 40 years ago when the Big Three were building cars like the GTO, Hemi powered cars, the real Camaros and Mustangs.

If they want to break away from the "street racing" scene then let 'em. People didn't buy the cars because they were fuel efficient, they sure didn't pay a big lump of money on top of the base model Lancer/Impreza to get more cargo space, and they didn't dump cash into the cars to make them a luxury sedan. If Subaru and Mitsubishi want to ignore who buys their cars, that's their choice. The results will speak for themselves, I guess we'll just have to see how it pans out.
