End of the road for the Lancer Evo: Report Mitsubishi Official Says Evo Franchise Is Dead. I always loved these

 

They are cool cars. So were the GSX Eclipse's and TSi Talons. AWD turbo 5spds are a dying breed

 

I actually did kinda like them, for being a foreign car and all.

 

The FNF crowd was going to have a moment of silence, but they gave up because you can't hear anything over the fart can mufflers anyway. I never thought there was too much to write home about on the Evo's except for the astounding amounts of power they got out of the engines.

 

Sucks, but I can't say I didn't see it coming. A while back there was an article about mitsu ditching their entire lineup for something new.

If you didn't have anything to write home about you obviously didn't drive one One test drive and I was sold.

 

It just seems that the fast economy cars are going away. You will need to have $100,000 laying around to drive a quick car in the future.

 

With the way electric motors can operate, I think a sporty electric car is definitely on the horizon. And that CRZ doesn't count lol

 

You'll see performance hybrids shortly, the biggest advantage of an electric motor is that you get the full torque at available from zero rpm. I had the chance to drive a GM EV1 years ago that had a modified controller, that car would absolutely slam you back in the seat, zero to 60 in 4.5 seconds. The downside was a range of about thirty miles on a full charge.

 

You mean 70-100 miles....
