Saw this earlier in the day. DARN YOU MITSU! Not one Mitsu that I'd spend my money on apart from the Evo.
Mitsubishi is officially dead for me, atleast after 2013.

I guess this is good news for current evo owners, resale values for them are gonna go through the roof in the next 5-10 yrs..

People will be suicid-ing to get their hands on one.. Can't they possibly lie so they can push the sales up on it???

Who will give competition to subaru's ??

well, mitsubishi is going to focus on electric cars so they'll probably withdraw from motor sports.

I dont think their going to discontinue making lancers, seeing its the only model they have that has the most sales globally, next to pajeros... and if they stop that - It will result in the whole company shutting down lol.. So there must be next gen Lancers coming after 2013.

And the only way to have a "evo 11" would be adding a hell load of performance parts to the next gen Lancer lol.. and a AWD drivetrain swap.

Well evo's have become as good as it can get...I'm guessing they ran out of idea to improve :p pretty sure the evo's will become a good addition to a collector....like a supra is these days :d
