Note the MPH gauge and the MOMO steering wheel



The frontmounted intercooler is still there


OZ wheels and Brembos

Got this off clubsi.com. Guy said these pics were taken by a Mitsubushi mechanic at a Evo VII seminar. Projected arrival date is late spring 2002

 

Hmmm...not bad...

is it just me or does the interior look really cheap

 

damn that's sweet... can't wait to see some on the road and at import shows!

 

I now have a reason to trade in my TL.

 

I've already seen the "REAL" EVO VII on the streets. Not here of course. It was when I was on vacation during summer in Hong Kong. It was a badass car. It was like a dream come true to see EVOs, WRXs, Altezzas (real IS 300), and Skylines lined up on one street. I'll never forget that.

so is this mean that we are gonna get EVO 7 in the US market in 2002??????

 

That's what i thought, but with that engine.....

 

'Bout damn time is all I gotta say. Yet I will not become enthused until it is shown that the car that actually comes here is shown to have great dyno and timeslips.
I say that because you see the WRX that's here compared to the one that's in Asia/Austrailia. We MIGHT see the STi version soon, but do we have it now? No.

 

I serioulsy think if the Evo VII is released here in its 280hp form Subaru will bring over the WRX STi to compete...

 

We can hope so!

 

How do you know that it is a USDM prototype?

Anyway I wish it will come that I might not get the seventh generation Accord.

 

Look at the MPH in the speedometer. By they way, your last sentence made absolutley no sense

 

Just read an article that said it should be here in about a year as a 2003 model.

 

Here are some pictures that I took when I was in Japan earlier this year. You guys can look and compare the two:

Rest of the pictures at Photos.yahoo.com

Happy viewing.

BTW, when I sat in the car it didn't seem cheap at all. Just very sporty. IMO I was drooling all the way home
