That car looks ****ing hot in all black, it's the best Evo I've seen.

Is it coming here? Probably not. :(

but you know what they are planning on bringing over here for the "American buyer"?, the EVO VIII GTA....an automatic EVO :rolleyes:

Hell, I'm an auto driver and it even makes me sick to think of an auto on an EVO...

That's so they can generate more sales from all the people who are either too lazy or too stupid to learn how to drive stick.

No offense Eric. :D

why? so i can spit on it???..lol.....tho the evo is more than worthy car. I still Think its ugly.

but i have to agree with willyk, that the color and black wheels kinda make it look alot more attractive.

I actually think EVO's look nicer in person. A friend of mine here has a yellow one, very nice. Of course all the ricers here tend to underestimate it but you know what carnage ensues after trying to mess with it.

:fawk: ....although no offense taken.....I'm just saying that the EVO does not need to be f'ed up with the addition of an a/t, unless you're an MB E55 AMG where the hp/tq make up the a/t loss...

Damn, I'd actually consider buying an EVO now, the body looks SICK in that color. All the other colors make the car look like a glorified ricer, but that color just makes it look MEAN.

Me like...and I hate EVOs.

Although the interior still sucks donkey ballz. :thumbdown:

thats nice.. thats how all the EVOs shouldve came.. that just seems like a GSR model with AYC and ACD..

and i think theyve had the GTa (auto version) of the EVO in japan since the VII? not sure thats the only one ive seen.. and i know they have an auto wrx also there.. there was a bes tmotoring auto 4wd challenge and they both had those cars..

anyways.. great to know a less watered down version of an EVO s on its way here... at least id hope so..

Yeah, that is definitely one of the nicer EVOs that I have seen. But I like 'em all pretty much, the only thing that I don't like is the taillights on the ones that are being sold over here right now. But a quick taillight swap and I think that the car looks really, really clean.

It would be nice if they did bring that version of the EVO over here, but most of the stuff that I see that are performance upgrades could be done on the EVO.

:stupid: It is indeed a beautiful car. I like the interiour of the EVO better than the STi, as well.

So I'm guessing it would be around $35,000

Sport ABS?

Very nice.
