The fact that the 2008-2015 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X is still a bit sharper and faster than the 2020 Subaru WRX STi is insane. The Evo 9 really was the real deal considering that it still took many newer Evo X’s to school. It is cool to see the Honda Civic Type R and Toyota GR Corolla carry the affordable turbo racing family car legacy.

Not to pick nits, but the Final Edition was only for the 2015 model year.

I've never driven an Evo, but a lot of reviewers over the years have still said they prefer to drive the STi. I dunno, but there is a directness and mechanical engagement in the STi that I really love. I wish I could drive an Evo to compare myself.

[@techpassion4126]

Mitsubishi doesn't even have a sports car at the moment. No Evo, no GTO, no Eclipse (the crossover doesn't count). But that begs the questions, would fans appreciate a new version? Because there's always the fear of the car being not exactly bad, but just not up to their legendary status with fans (ie the new Supra with the old time Supra fans)

[@TheAceKannon]

TechPassion considering people complain about everything, I almost guarantee they’d treat a new Evo (or even a base lancer for that matter) like they did they 5th gen Supra

[@nakoma5]

A way to avoid that is by using a new name, not resurrecting an old one. Leave the legends in the past.
