Default New Evo?

Noticed at the top of the forum a banner for the 2008 Lancer - not a big fan in past because of styling - but it seems they may have begun down the right track with this pup...

I LOVE IT! Total Euro style inside & out! The dash layout is hot, & you can get Navi stock! The down side, NO stick for the EVO X, it's all DSG/SMG so it's a electro/hydraulic manual.

My dealership has the new Lancer, so far it looks like a hot car! The styling is top notch.

It looks totally badass, and it should be damn fast. However, an Evo w/ navi standard from the factory, and not offered w/ a true manual transmission is a complete disgrace. Sorry. Just my opinion.



I don't understand this craze about DSG/ "F1" style sequential manuals. But whatever, they'll still sellevery one they make.

The front reminds me of a Gallant.

My fault, I must have missed that. In that case, I take back my statement. Navi is still ghey IMO.[8D]

Damn! went back and started looking at the EVO (Prototype-X they call it) check out the keyless entry video - it shows a pic of the dash - in the center is a info screen damn near the same shape, size and color of our Audi's!

Isn't that just the Lancer? Not the Lancer Evo? The Evo is much different then the Lancer. Why would they go from a 289HP (I think thats what the MR was) to a 152HP? This is just the regular Lancer, not the Lancer EVO.
