That was over 10 years ago though, how can you expect Mitsu to make a decent car for cheap? Hell the fully loaded new eclipse goes for close to 30k!
Engineering costs money, and the Evo is packed with it. If you want a tin can go fast machine, then stick with a DSM. I have my standards, and even the current Evo doesnt touch them with class, style, comfort, and features. The new Evo reaches out to more people this way, and the people who moved away from DSM's are getting older now, they may sway over to this new platform because of the refinement.

I disagree, I want a sports car, not an Audi with a trumped up motor. Mitsu can spare the technology, the price, and the weight. Think Evo RS, minus two doors and make the chassis a little smaller. No thanks on the active diff, electronic suspension, suede dash, sunroof, etc.
I like my VR4 a lot, but I still think Mitsu could have done better with everything they have made.
