Mitsubishi EVO IX FQ340

Now this is a set of wheels I'd love to have.

The interior isn't the most captivating, but the rest of the car more than makes up for that. Now all i need is the £32999 to buy one in the UK

Mee too billy, mee too. Looks like a kitten, but there's a freaking lion under the hood.

always been a big fan of Evo's and Scoobys. having done track days in STi's, 22B's, P1's plus a mental Tommy Mak Evo 6 they're all fun. problem is they're starting to get a bit of a reputation in the UK now, a bit like the Ford Cosworths did which is spoiling the car's credability.

wow the evo to me is god of awd's some ppl might argue wrx's or skylines i dont care i love this ... u seen the top gear documentary when it raced the murcielago? aroudn the track it almost crashed into it it was that much faster than the lambo and in the lambo was the gt champ of britain and clarkson in the evo.. ahh orgasmic vehicle ( best colour is grey with the dar rims )

Now wait a minute...

I am not going to bash the car b/c I have not seen the specs but that is approximately 57K USD. You guys are getting screwed over there. Don't even ask what you could get in the way of performance in the U.S. for 57K.

Let me go check out this car ....

If I ever could imagine getting that car to Finland, it'd cost something like 100.000 euros. I'm sure they would compare it to Porsche 911 turbo or something. Fucking vultures.

Looks interesting. Hate to tell you guys but it would cost you a little over 20,000 GBP here at current exchange rate. At that rate, buy it here and ship it.

Looks like a pocket rocket. For 35,000 USD is looks fun. At 57K over here, one could do better.

You're forgetting the most important factor: all those horses are coming out of a souped-up inline 4.
