New EvoX Prototype to be unveiled at 1pm CST today!

Yeah Mitsu has done a nice job with this!

It almost looks like a Charger crossed with an RX8. I hope they get the transmission right, but the auto isnt a good sign, as I dont think any company has made paddles work in a car that was less than $80k. I dont think a manual is an option.

Honestly, I've had more attractive poops.

At first I didn't really like the way it looks, but the more I see it, the more I like it

Yeah it is; some sources are saying 5-speed, others are saying 6. Personally, I think Mitsu would be dumb to make it a 5 rather than 6 since pretty much all sports cars are going with 6's now rather than 5's.

I agree Chris, most I have seen have been saying 5 speed. Why not use the 6 speed in the current MR? I'll be pissed if it comes out with a 5 speed.

[Kracka]

Why not use the 6 speed in the current MR?

They can use that as a starting point maybe, but Mitsu seriously needs to revamp the way they design and manufacture transmissions since there are tons of fairly low mileage EVO's that have already had their tranny rebuilt or getting notchy/troublesome. I'm sure most of it is due to poor driving technique, but still, they should last longer than this.

The six speed in the MR is not a mitsu tranny, it is built by ASIN. Generally people seem to have more issues with syncros on the five speed, and with the six speed you will find a weaker fourth gear but better shifting and syncros.

Interesting, very interesting. Thanks for the info.
