The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X Was the End of the Evo 

I do.

I member

Market dynamics. Mainstreamers love small crossovers over sedans as a 'one-stop solution' to all their known dilemmas. Sucks that most brands are actively ditching sedans and fun hatchbacks for lame crossovers.

Idk what you’re talking about the Mitsubishi Mirage is the pinnacle of automotive driving experiences

We have to remember that Mitsubishi are not in a good spot right now. They need to make their best to make cars that people would buy, therefore, they had to ditch the cars like evo, etc. Making crossovers and in quote “boring cars” might be Mitsubishi’s last chance to stay relevant in the industry

Agreed

Agreed the sequel

the mitsubishi marks its downfall when they announced they won't make the evo xi

@Keynesian Economics pajero os awesome I agree.🤘

yeah it was, brand sucks now

Yup

Shitting on the car? Doug takes an objective look at every car. If he's shitting on something then objectively, it's shit.

My brother had a older evo. At that time we worked together. I always had to pick him up. Even when it was running he was scared to drive it. Stupid fast though

Doug seems to genuinely DESPISE Mitsibishi, the way he usually speaks of their cars. :D

Agree

Yes.

There’s one near my house. Tiny bit used (and I really mean just slightly) but it looks good.

Terrible taste... get an Evo IV. This shit looks like a basic ass Toyota

@@TrapasaurusFlex hey man, this is a little more attainable. I agree the IV is better, I personally like that one, the VI, and IX, but those are a bit out of reach for normal enthusiasts.

My buddies brother just got a couple year old mirage and what a shit box lol feels like it's from 1992

@A real bisexual petrol-head ???

@A real bisexual petrol-head you good bro??

Yes, because people didn't buy them. Because as with all other things, you guys arn't doing the things, you said you would. Seriously, you guys have had every chance to save the performance car, but nope, all you do is sit around and complain, all the while doing nothing..

i don't know, Mitsubishi is a good brand, i love it. Just cause merican's don't buy it, doesn't mean the rest of the world doesn't.

​@@Orcawhale1 Lol your argument sounds like "You wouldn't have gotten raped if you didn't dress like a whore!"....Mitsubishi is ultimately to blame because they couldn't keep up with their competition. They offered an inferior car because they stopped giving a shit. Everyone's money went toward better alternatives.

What if they made an "Evolution" variant of the Mirage or something close to it? I mean, the Lancer was pretty much a decent daily driver until Mitsubishi had the balls to turn it into a rally car that would give birth to the rivalry against Subaru's WRX STi. Though, the Mirage right now isn't well known for performance and it hasn't been justified whether it is worthy of a performance version so nevermind, forget what I said completely.

😂

@Mahbub Z Rohan I own a regular old Lancer and when I got an ad for that thing in the mail from my trader I felt a bit sad for a colleague who was still driving his old Eclipse.

Well, they may know, since there’s a giant wing in the back

Yea man. I have a dedicated fluid transfer pump for that.

That’s a good point, I haven’t yet to put fluid in mine but now that u mention it, it will be a challenge when the time comes

Larry N Doug's the kind of guy to give chewing gum a Doug Score. 0 for value, depreciates immediately when used.

@@mazyoda_ The rear seats do not fold and there is no access to the trunk from the rear seat/cabin. You just remove the plastic cover, take the cap off and fill. You can get a regular bottle of water in there, but a gallon jug or similar would be messy. A fluid pump or even a hose with a funnel also works. Or even straight from your garden hose if your water isn't too hard. Hope this helps :-)

Haha EVOlving

When you drive it, you will forget about the interior.

You could almost literally eat off of that engine block... but that would be a crime.

B-Wulf I wish I could not think about interiors and just drive, but I can’t. That’s the only thing holding me back from ever really owning JDM. I still love them, but would never own them

We have to find a car which have the exact number of badges Doug consider perfectly normal

Would've thought he would like it because it was understated.

I pull all my badges except the manufacturer's emblem. I'm not worried about whether people know what I am driving. People who know...know.

Agreed, I've owned both as well. To me Evo looks a lot better, less bot racer too.

Color is everything too. White for evo, blue for STI.

I love the respect for both the Sti & Evo. Both are marvelous piece of engineering, I do own an sti but would want to own an evo one day (if it made a comeback)

How about reliability?? I'm thinking for future reference. I have just a modified lancer se. Is this interior nicer in the subaru? Thanks!

Pretty damn stock for an Evo 8, most of them are completely riced out

Patrick Pacheco by riced you mean 11 second cars...

Cheap AF

Still more stock then %85 of evos lol

99% of evo 8s dont have cats anymore lol

Subaru will probably update the WRX to compete with other cheap economy cars like the type R and hot hatches like the Focus RS.... but it’s a damn shame the Evo was killed. It was truly a better car than the WRX (although the WRX was always better looking on the exterior and interior imo

Cameron Peralta disagree on the exterior appearance. it's kind of a wash on the earlier editions imo but I prefer the front fascia of the evo x to any of the subarus

Agreed To be completely honest with you I kinda feel like that's why they started making the BRZ with toyota.

I think they’re discontinuing the STI in Europe and just keeping the WRX.

What? I thought the STI was getting a new engine and re design next year??

I love my veloster turbo! but definitely would love an all wheel drive hot hatch

I'm sure your woman thinks the Hyundai is cute and peppy. If you even have one.

Doug must be the MOST WELL TRAVELED MAN, IN HISTORY, check those Air miles, Dougie

I only changed my brakes. Does that mean mine is already modified? I have the MR version.

Ya'll are literally taking him way too literal.

Not really, i have two Evo X's my self, not one is modified. Plus 4 of my friends have one as well and none is modified, all of them full original.

Not too mention that if someone wants to mod their car, then that's their business. I love Doug for the most part but I really don't appreciate how he hates on the modding community. We're not all 17 year old kids with a wing the size of a paraglider and a 30 gallon garbage can for an exhaust tip.

Seriously, it was one of the only things they ever made that was actually interesting and that anybody aspired to own. Nobody today gets excited over their boring crossovers, which by the way I almost never see on the road.

They've been in a freefall since the mid 2000's. Canceling the EVO was just another example on how out of touch they are with their customers.

Nah the downfall began when they didn’t put the 4G63T in the EVO X

Unfortunately car companies don’t make money because people think a car is cool. Mitsubishi has actually been on an upswing since getting rid of the Evo. I’m one of the loyal customers that keeps buying from them in hopes that there comes a time when they could afford to have a flagship car again. Personally, I’m a fan of their electric concept Evo. So yea

The downfall happened after disbanding from Chrysler, that's when their resources became limited and affected their cars. Should have stayed with Chrysler a little longer before disbanding, we could still have the Eclipse and the Evolution. Ironically, Mitsubishi is in an alliance with FCA/Stellartis again.

Yes

We wanted a new Eclipse, and we got a new Eclipse. There's only a few problems with it. I have to ask myself who the fucking hell has came to the idea to turn it into a crossover SUV, which has absolutely nothing with the old Eclipse generations in common but the name. Also, I have absolutely no idea whatsoever what kind of mushrooms the designer has consumed to turn it into a modern Pontiac Aztek...

Not an evo 10. Nobody wants a ten

matthew anderson It may not be as sought after as the 9 and under but you need to remember the X had almost 10 years of production. Theres alot more X’s than any other Evo. It was also the first Evo developed for the World Market. None the less. Its a beloved sports car that isnt made anymore. It will most definitely be sought after in future and will fetch a high price when left unmodified and maintained. Especially with the way people treat these cars, its already starting to become a rarity to see an unmolested X. Just because evo 8’s/9’s had limited production runs in the US and thus more sought after, doesn’t mean “nobody wants an X”. There’s just alot more X’s.

matthew anderson ten was by far the best looking by far lol

@@MrGhoulie have you been drinking sir, I know it's a ten but I Mattscore it's styling a 4

You can't go wrong with either. Both are gems.

More reliable than Mazda? Definitely. But more than Honda? That’s kinda pushing it, Mitsubishi’s have mechanical problems up the ass bro

Wait, they canceled the Montero? What?

It's amazing how plasticy car interiors used to be...

It's actually the reason I got rid of mine. Just never liked anything my hands were constantly touching in that interior. When swapping the head unit with an aftermarket one makes it look even closer to stock you know something just isn't working in that interior. I traded mine (an 08) for a '16 Focus ST.

The people who bought these cars bought them for their spoiled kids.

And that says it all doesn't it? Either someone has taste....or they don't. Buyers of this car don't.

@@23Piccolina Nonsense...the perception of 'taste' is solely in the eyes of the person making the observation.

@@citrusjuicebox I loved and I mean loved everything about my Evo X. But the platform lacked power. I didn’t want to build the motor. So I was all dreamy about straight line speed I saw the RS3’s.

@@11Greatness platform lacked power? How?

Jose P because they don’t fucking sell.

The Miata isn’t really low volume at all, it’s the most sold sport car in the world.

The WRX is heavily based off the Impreza, which they still sell a bunch of

Emmanuel Kumi except it’s not the wrx/sti in current VA generation uses an Impreza body that is no longer produced. It’s exclusive to that of the wrx/sti the Impreza is on a global chassis platform and has been some years.

Emmanuel Kumi Yea bud you’re wrong about that one big time. I’m pretty sure Subaru moves more WRXs and STIs than base Imprezas at this point since no one wants a sedan unless it’s “cool” At least in North America

In the end the "car" makes more noise than speed.

Peter Vari yup, pretty much... The 4G63 engine is super easy to work with and mod... thats why is so big down here

The Philippines too!

The 5spd was stronger than the 6spd.

5 spd also had a better 0-60 with one less shift.

because the 6 speed is fragile af

Most times Doug doesnt really know what he's talking about to be honest

What I always heard was the 8 and 9 came with a 5 spd or optional 6 spd. They both used the same housing just the 6 spd had that extra gear. Because of that extra gear it took up more room and the gears weren't as strong as the 5 spd. There are people with Evo 8 and 9 who would swap the 6spd for the 5.

I would agree, but have you looked at the new awd systems? I love my Mitsubishi Montero 20th anniversary, and I’m a massive believer in 4wd over awd, but Mitsubishi’s new awd is seriously impressive. I see many on the road, and believe things will improve.

@@AvatarPuls that's true. I'm an Evo fan but I prefer earlier models than the Evo x. Mitsubishi tried to make a car balance both sides too much, that is why the evo x failed. This is also happening to the newer subaru's

The problem they had that also Subaru’s are running into is that they are trying to get into the sport luxury market. Sorry but Mercedes, BMW, Cadillac CTS V, Audi already got that market locked down. They started charging as much as those brands and didn’t even come close to the luxury of those companies.

@@monmc6129 I'd say that Mitsubishi tried to make the Evo x towards their new plans which ultimately failed. Y know like with switching to crossovers and shit. It overall balanced more on the user friendly side. They could've made it better but they didn't have the money and you know they pushed it out only to make more money than anything else

@@AvatarPuls No better all around. More reliable, can push out WAY more torque, bulletproof engine that can take mods (STI's engine is a joke, even stock ones had problems). Not to mention yaw control and torque vectoring were invented by Mitsubishi during the earlier Evo development. Ive seen so many STIs burn up after pitiful amount of miles, not the Evo though. And lets be honest: both cars were made to mod for rally, so comparing stock is useless. Modded STIs, while great in many aspects, need a helluva lot more mods to be effective and reliable, especially when it comes to the motor. The STI motor (comparing EVO X to the STI of that year of course) was simply built like a tin can. They couldnt take mods. First users were pissed off on the forums, took a few years for aftermarket to make upgraded rods and pistons to make the STI motor able to take any increase in torque. But they are different cars. STI is lighter, EVO feels heavy like a German car. But honestly, point for point the EVO is just better, and it was more expensive so go figure.
