Talk:Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution

message: There seem to be some reports that Mitsubishi will end development of the Lancer Evolution series in order to concentrate on electric cars. Here is a link: http://www.dailytech.com/Mitsubishi+Kills+the+Evo+Will+Focus+on+Electric+Cars/article21040.htm. Should that be included in this article?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.94.134.10 (talk) 22:00, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: End of development?

message: In the article, it is said that the american version will have around 900bhp and the uk version 2000bhp. both of these numbers are ridiculous and i would really like to see them changed 89.145.39.248 (talk) 21:03, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Power data for Evo X 

message: It is also a cornerstone of the popular driving simulator Gran Turismo, with the latest version featuring over 20 variants, including racing models.
For one thing, there are only 18 versions of the Evo in GT4.
Second,  18 out of around 750 models is hardly a 'cornerstone'. That is, unless you consider the game to have 42 sides. The Skyline GTR has 32.
Third, what is this quote even doing in the Film section?--207.175.61.213 20:17, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Evolution V: weasel words 

message: It seems to me that in the first line, while people do refer to the Lancer Evolution as the "Evo", there's no need for it to be capitalized. It's not an acronym, and it is a short form of "Evolution", not "EVOLUTION". I'm going to change the case, although I'm not especially biased either way. It just seems more correct to use "Evo", and it reflects what many of the manufacturers (such as for aftermarket parts), as well as fan sites use. ... aa:talk 14:08, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  capitalization of "evo" 

message: This article constantly switches between calling the car Evolution and Evo I think one should be picked and stuck with because it is really inconsistant to switch back and forth between names.  SirGrant 05:27, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Evolution vs Evo Consistency

message: Just to point out, luxuries does not necessarily make a sports saloon, so if the Evo is not a sports saloon then what about the Lotus Cortina and one of numerous cars that were homlogationlised for racing, as it was stated...
:It was later applied by manufacturers to special versions of their vehicles that allowed them to enter production cars in motor races with extra modifications not normally permitted by the regulations. Such regulations required cars to be homologated typically by selling them in minimum numbers to the public.
So I hope it is possible to add the sports saloon tag to it. Also to my opinion isn't a 3 series more like a compact executive car or as defined on that page, the M3 is more like a sports saloon. Willirennen 19:27, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: We might be dealing with a US/British "language barrier" here or something, as here, a sports sedan is a sedan that's kinda sporty, like a BMW 3 series.  See this article from Car and Driver magazine for what's considered a sports sedan over here.  "Sports car" is less definite, but I've always thought it to mean a car that is designed for performance at the expense of comfort and price.  Four doors don't automatically stop something from being a sports car. TomTheHand 12:40, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Does the new Evo come with the CVT transmission, because this would make it more of a manumatic/automatic coupe than a manual. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Zhour24 (talk • contribs) 12:05, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No, no Evo has been or will (in the near future) be available with a CVT.  The current Evo is available with a 6 speed manual, a 5 speed manual, or a 5 speed automatic, depending on the market (the automatic, for example, isn't available in the US).  The next generation Evo will be available with a paddle-shifted dual clutch transmission much like Volkswagen's DSG, which is a semi-automatic transmission.  It will also be available with a 5 speed manual.  Note that while the Evo has been offered as a sedan and as a wagon, it has never been offered as a coupé. TomTheHand 14:11, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Europe Name is Wrong! 

message: User:Rps reverted my last round of deletions to restore two sections:
#"Alternative cars". WP isn't a buyers' guide, and furthermore we cannot and should not try to read the minds of readers. Alternatives to the Evo are many. Buyers may want an authentic  rally-rep. But equally they may merely want a fast four-door, in which case they can think of Audi RS4s or BMW M3s. They may want a sharp-handling car, in which case everything from a Lotus Elise to a Mini Cooper are viable alternatives. They may want something Japanese. They may want something costing no more than £xxx or $xxx. Etc etc. And a 2008 Focus RS, aside from being unavailable in many of the Lancer's markets and therefore irrelevent, is, as the text indicated, entirely speculative. Just because the only alternatives you would consider are authentic rally reps doesn't mean every other buyer is the same. No original research (deciding what cars are or are not alternatives), and no speculative crystal balling.
#"In pop culture". Entirely unsourced, entirely non-notable, and flying in the face of the current purge of trivia and pop-culture articles and/or sections.
I've removed them again, You were bold, you were reverted, now discuss it, otherwise in the absence of any compelling arguments to keep them they will continue to be removed.  --DeLarge 22:58, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Lancer Evolution X: The LAST Evo??? 

message: Shouldn't this article contain a section for the Evolution VIII?
Although it contains a combination of fact and opinion,
perhaps something like the text below?
NOTE: The following text came largely from www.Edmunds.com,
although I have modfied/improved/rewritten/excluded many portions:
The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII had its front fascia resculpted to include Mitsubishi's new corporate style, the split-grille with prominent nose and a stronger bumper that meets the 2.5-mph impact requirement in the U.S. Inlets remain numerous so that the intercooler gets as much fresh air as possible. Standard HID headlights allow the driver to look down the road at any time of day; taillights are of the clear-lens variety. The rear spoiler is a large, aggressive rear wing. The body-hugging Recaro seats have been widened. The gas tank has been enlarged to 14 gallons.
The computer-controlled Active Center Differential with driver-selectable terrain settings didn't make it to the U.S. production car, but only the most advanced drivers are apt to find fault with the less sophisticated viscous coupling unit. Under ideal traction conditions, the front/rear torque split is 50/50, and the ratio is automatically adjusted when slippage occurs.
The U.S. Evolution VII's turbocharged 2.0-liter inline four is rated for 271 hp at 6,500 rpm and 273 at 3,500 rpm.  The tachometer redline falls at 7,000, with a top-end of 9,000-rpm.  The power comes on strong near the top end.
The five-speed manual transmission gearing is identical to that of the Evolution VII's, though the first and second gears have been fitted with an additional synchro each for smoother engagement and better feel during high-speed shifts, as well as greater durability.
Other hardware carried over directly from the Evolution VII to the Evolution VIII, including the large Brembo brakes (12.7-inch rotors in front, 11.8 inches in back), lightweight 17-inch Enkei wheels and specially designed Yokohama Advan A046 tires, sized 235/45WR17. Mitsubishi also include a water sprayer that automatically gives the intercooler a spritz during high operating temperatures. A competition-oriented Sports ABS system incorporates sensors that measure steering wheel angle, wheel speed and lateral and longitudinal G-forces to regulate the braking force applied to each wheel. The idea is to give the driver more control when entering a turn on a road course or his favorite twisty two-lane. Electronic Brakeforce Distribution is also included.
As noted in the www.Edmunds.com comparison test: "the steering is ultraquick; few cars on the market can match this kind of response, although it took a few laps before feeling comfortable with it; road feel through the wheel was superb, perfectly communicating how our actions in the cockpit were affecting the tires; around turns, the firm suspension (struts in the front, a multilink-modified wishbone design in the rear) did all the work, yielding flat body attitude and perfect balance when exiting turns; meanwhile, the tires offered progressive levels of howl, such that we knew well in advance when we were approaching the breakaway point."
Also noted by www.Edmunds.com: "Good as the Evo is, your confidence when driving it on a track (or a public road) has much to do with your own skill. Less experienced drivers who buy this car should strongly consider a performance driving course in order to get the most fun possible out of their purchase."
