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

Haha EVOlving

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.

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.

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

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.

I think he was looking for old lady Galaxie 500 handling there.

He expects the Evo to be some sort of exotic car lmao

@@brolydbs1927 well, 10/10 IS an exotic car handling’s score. An exotic car getting a 10 and an Evo getting a 10 would make 0 sense, because the exotic obviously handles better and therefore, Evo is a 6

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.

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

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

Maybe better on the track. Not a better car all around.

@@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.

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.

Yep, I tried to list a 2001 BMW 330i with the Dinan 3 upgrade and was told it wasn’t a fit for them. SMH.
