This is a prototype for the new Evo X

Mitsubishi-Motors/Evolution

Then compare it to this

EVO for me unless the STI version is drastically different!

Would choose the Evo too, I think it's a bad move making the Scooby a hatch.

Join the club, how aggressive and stylish does this look. That would be the best selling Evo of all time IMO.

I think they both look w4nk - more chav'd up Astra than a serious performance car. Shopping car, anyone?

new evo looks nice but the servicing will be every 2 miles! or something daft!

If i could afford either, it would be the evo.

Oh God! it gets worse.

Agree, thank god i,ve got my RA....i,ll be keeping it me thinks too

Audi S3 or Evo X here I come !!

Subaru has dropped a proper Bollox this time

Subaru is horrible, what a disaster.
Evo is ok, has a nice interior, but the back looks like an Alfa

I can't help thinking that the design of the new Subaru has been moulded to some degree by the WRC requirements.

Looking at the two main competitors, ie Focus and Xsara they are both hatches already, compared to the existing Scoob which is effectively a generation behind, ie 4 door saloon type.

From watching the "Engineering the WRC" progs lately, it appears (to me at least) that Subaru has been struggling to keep up with the newer models after they were introduced by these other manufacturers...

Personally i think the new Scoob design is truely awful when compared to the Mitsi, its a huge letdown in design - at least Mitsi have thought to include an FMIC as standard by the seems of things, therefore setting out their stall around performance...

Is it me or does the front of the Mitsi have a passing resemblence to a Skyline ??

I would have to say Mitisi too, lets see how they both look on normal roads in real guise first though

Seen this posted a few times now and can't help but wonder how with all these laws about pedestrian safety, the WRX stil has a scoop. I thought they had to do away with it

audi s3 or evo for me.

subaru will be making a saloon impreza though which could be much better

I think the Subaru looks like a 1 series BMW with a Chrysler front!

oh dear, the evo has a renault laguna boot, a mark 1 mondeo rear end (rear doors onwards) and a vectra/astra front half.


Would I own one




Yes

wonder what the mpg is onn the new evo, a work colleagues sonn has an evo 6 and the colleague tells me it does 100 miles to a tankful at a cost of £39 !!!

christ !!

both aRE looking more and more less fashionable and more normal,which for the money they are not !!

I think that's exactly what was used to create that photoshop

The new car won't be that ugly or it will only sell in america.

EVO for me too!

Although it depends if Ford ever launch a Focus RS 4WD with 300bhp as has been indicated.

Is that the same one as 5 ish years ago

no specification bar would be Mk1 not Mk2 Focus, no delivery date, no final price, £10k deposit and still not Built


Tony

Believe THAT when you see it on the road. Ford have announced that car at LEAST five times now, and it's still not been built.

Is it just me, or does anyone else think that both the Scoob and the Evo have been designed by an ex-Alfa designer......

Alcazar

Wouldn't have either.

Evo looks like a Honda Accord from the back.No thanks

Impreza,well can't really comment as I've not seen a proper one yet,only 'artists impressions' but if it looks like any of them,thanks but no thanks!

I found this thread on another forum with a lot more photos...

Saab92x.com / Somthing to Vomit about 2008 Impreza

Based on those photos, when i return to a performance saloon it will be in a Mitsu. The Impreza looks look like cross between an Astra and an Alpha, crap in other words.
Next to follow will be the demise of the WRC team due to the poor sales of the iconic Impreza's latest evolution.
Nik.

If they both ever get into production that is, new EU legislation for immisions leaves them both dead in the water

Post #38/38 of that link was what I saw in Japan last month. It also showed a saloon version.

If Subaru need to make a hatchback so the WRC version is more competitive, that's just fine by me. You lot can then decide whether you prefer the saloon or harch versions. IMHO the saloon version looked a little dated and the hatch looked fresh.

Of course the wagon version trumps both of them

i guess that is the WRX version in the pic?

i'm sorry but that car will finish the impreza to be honest.

that is a pile of toss and even if the sti has more add ons to make it more agressive etc. they've made a huge mistake banking on people stumping up to spec up to the sti and make them more money

the current WRX is at least not a million miles away from the sti and if you chose to do so, a few little add ons and body wise it's a dead ringer.

that heap of **** in the pic will either be totally different as an sti (not good for the range) or slightly different and personally that's even worse.

still, should hold up the residuals of the mk2

Am the only one who thinks the new Subaru is identical to the mazda 3/astra... did they seriously run out of design ideas that they had to use existing crap designs:

Found some photos of the 2008 sedan on another forum and it doesn't seem too bad. Not sure it will compete well with Evo X though.
