What a deliciously evil face it has!
If the final version looks like that..well, I wont buy one, but I will stare whenever one drives past.

Holy f***......

Ah, Better. They managed to make it look less boy-racerish but still very aggressive. That grille is reminiscent of the new Audis, and the headlights have a hint of the old Galant in them, at least from the front quarter angle.
I'll be in the market for a new car in about 2 years so maybe this will offer some competition to the Audi's, BMWs and Scooby WRXs I was planning on checking out. I had mainly ignored the Evo due to it's over-the top looks for a daily driver (ticket magnet).

The new front end, specifically the lights, looks pretty sweet and less race-like or something....better for the street.
As much as I prefer the professional styling an Audi or BMW gives, I can't get over the TopGear test of this puppy in "tripod" mode, simply awesome that it can do that

The exhaust (which would probably only be a tip, not even true exhaust) adds 50 hp while each and every decal adds another 50 hp. Geeze efoto, get the specs straight!efoto said:But that cannon and sponsor-style stickers each add 10hp, so he needs them
Looks just about as bad as the new WRX/STi (which I extremely hate). Glad to that both of the two japanese WRC manufacturers have total crackheads for designers. I guess my tastes are changing or something, but I greatly prefer the new Focus design and the Citroën C4 WRC car.

ya, the ST looks pretty sweet, but it really should be AWD. I think the 220hp or whatever it is would probably be enough for me though.
This EVO looks viscious. I like it a lot. I'm all about the gaping grills. Not so much just big grills, like the 300 or the new audi grill, but the ones that really look like a gaping mouth, about to swallow that happy little VW bug.
I always thought the Shelby Cobra would make an excellent car for the villain in a herby movie.

What was I thinking!? How could I have forgotten specs like that
At least on an Evo that fart-can of an exhaust is more than likely performance based, probably stock even. I hate it when you see the stupid little ricer cars running around where all they did was stick a 4in. tip on their .75in. piping. When they start running 3-4in. header-back or turbo-back exhaust full, and actually kick out decent numbers instead of wanna-be decent sound, well then they might gain slight respect, maybe.
I prefer another breed however. Go German autos, oh yeah
