I coulda sworn that was the NSX Type R.

 HELL NO!
the NSX has been discontinued since 2005 & the Nissan GTR has top 3 fastest Nurburgring lap times with 7:26.7 (source: http://jalopnik.com/#!5226034/2010-nissan-gttrims-nurburgring-time-to-7267)

that's faster than the Porsche Carrera GT, Pagani Zonda, Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggara, Ferrari 599, the list goes on...no other street-legal car compares on a track besides the Corvette ZR1

It is a small market of people that want that type of car and half of them probably prefer to mod their own car instead of buy it from the factory.

not even from factory they're the same. You guys need to test drive one before talking smack

That's the perception.  I don't need to go out and test drive one.  The perception of the car is a $35-40K Lancer. 

You can drop $20 grand into a Civic so that it can smoke a Vette but it's still a Civic and you'll have a hard time adding $20 grand to the base price and selling that Civic/Scion/Focus for $40K

@ comparing an Evo to a Civic. I've never driven or Focus or a Scion, but I have owned a Civic with an Integra Type-R motor swapped in. As good as that it was, it was nothing like an Evo. If i hadn't bought my z i would've bought an evo.

Also, while the current EVO may resemble the Base model Lancer, they are nothing alike. This is like comparing a 328i to a M3. They may look alike, but there is a reason you're paying 30-40k more for an M3

Shut that #@%# up. My '08 X says otherwise. Go back under that Geico rock.

Right after ARC filed a bankruptcy...

Really, really sad.

good riddens

Our education system at its best ladies and gents...

As an EVO owner, I am extremely disappointed but saw this as a strong possibility. Mitsu has really lost their way and killing their only great car (other than the Outlander) screams of poor management and leadership.

Now out to the garage to hug my baby.

lol relax bro... its not our fault u spent your money on an Evo instead of sumthing better... not that they arnt GREAT cars... for the money theres way better tuners

my first whip was an 00 eclipse gt... only because my pops wouldnt let me buy the Evo or the vr4 3000gt I really wanted 

Like?

And for people complaining about the looks, thats subjective. 

oh wait, he says hes not gonna list them...

another case of some kid talking out his *!*
