I like your taste in style, I wanted to hear what you had to say about this:

I'm going to flat out say I like it. Although I do see some Mazda mixed into it.
Oh, btw, the new Mitsubishi Lancer Evo

I think it's pretty cool. I hope it's not watered down much for production. Funny if you put vertical headlights on it you'd think it was a new Skyline GTR :eek:

The Skyline looks good, this car looks like a shrunk down Mack truck IMO.

Looks like it's been inspired by a Japanese grouper fish.

Like the F430, all the overt styling cues are in the name of higher performance (we had a discussion about it on Saturday @ IROCpalooza in regards to the F430 saying how it's a German thing). Pretty it ain't...but that's not it's point, especially in a Mitsubishi. Makes more sense on this than a Ferrari. A car doesn't have to be pretty for me to like it. All one has to do is to tame the front bumper/grille area and this car quickly becomes mainstream. EVO's are anything but mainstream. The styling is perfectly acceptable for a Japanese road/rally rocket. Since it's based on the same platform as the Dodge Caliblur and that horrid Jeep CompASS...uh, I'll take Godzirra any day. Will be interesting to see Subaru's answer in a couple years.

That front end reminds me of the FAST head in the current VW television commercials
