It's official! It is at the Detroit auto show!

240hp, SST, AWD, etc, just like we've been anticipating. No word on price yet, but I'd bet a fully-loaded one will go for ~$30k.

Also, note all of the damn features in those pics: cruise, sat nav, HIDs, Recaros.....etc etc.

Sweet, I hope those are all just options in the end though. Some of us really don't care about Sat Nav and Recaros.

So it looks like there will be a sedan and a sportback to compete with the wrx hatch's. It features the new Evo motor but with toned down cams and a single scroll turbo(power down to 237hp/253tq), but most Evo X mods will swap right in. The four wheel drive comes from the last gen Evo, but the tranny options or unknown yet. Prices in the mid 20k range.. Should be a great tuner car.

Talk has begun how this car is going to fare in autocross. It will be interesting to see what classes it lands in.

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

Sweet! I'm excited to see what these things will be like :)

Hope it comes out with a 5-spd option eventually. I am not a fan of the auto's.

[Goat Blower]

Hmm, mid 20's. That's more like it, although I'd need the NAV, HID's, heated seats, espresso machine. :seeya:

Time for the wife to get a new car, she likes the looks of it.

not a bad idea for mitsu, to get all the customers that don't want to spend 35k on the new evo.
