Talking So you know that the EVO XI.............

......is the last of the mighty Lancer EVO range and a sad end to a brilliant adversary for the Impreza over the years, does this mean that the 06 will be the last "Impreza" as we know it?

With nothing to compete against and emission controls going mad, is this the begining of the end for the rally car for the road genre?

Will we be getting turbo charged MPV's etc from the Japs next or like in the WRC will we just see a return to small, very rapid "red hot hatches"

Just wondered

I did hear a while ago that they were going to do the Colt rather than the Lancer, but i dunno how true this is.

if they are thinking of phasing out the evo in the very near future i think they need to look back at the GTO/3000GT. Work on the many faults it had hence the flop it was, and re-release a new version

Been in one (FQ320) and very nice it was too with all the leather (door inserts, seats, though half leather, most of the surround that isnt covered in carbon fibre is leather).
The tyres suck though if you take it on the track, the scoob is better there believe it or not due to the tyres liking the heat more, the Yoko's just go off if you give them too much stick
