The other thing they need to do, is not bring out another model every year like they have been doing. Residuals are crap with these cars. Once you bought an Evo XI, an Evo XII comes out. Barmy

Best looking yet. Doesnt bring about the grandad car with a bodykit image that I always think when seeing the previous models around. Peformance I'd imagine will carry on with the tradition of supercar destroying excellence. Just hope the final model wont look much different.

Not a fan of Scoobys and Evos but this looks nice inside and out. A huge improvement on what's come before and if they've kept all the good things about it's predecessors than a sure fire winner!

Very nice, I test drove a couple of Evos before buying my current car. They were a bit much for every day use. Hopefully this will have the supercar killing performance and a bit of practicality.


I hope intercoolers are cheap..... With no front grill those vanes will get smashed to pieces in 2 mins!

It does have a front grille, it is just not easily recognisable in the pictures.

Not sure about the exterior as i thought they might maybe come up with something very different, but i really like the interior. The more i look at it the more i like it and that paddle shift has to be a real bonus. Those seats are pretty cool too and i bet it drives better than ever. I just hope Subaru have the decency to come up with something as good as Mitsubishi have although i hope it's very different from the previous Scooby.

I gotta say, I think it's kinda ugly. The earlier versions were so functional looking, but this just looks like a big, heavy childs toy. I'm also disapointed with the decision to go with a paddleshifter - is every sports car going to have one soon? Lets revive the true manual.

Is it not a SMG?


Correct...I thought I was clear with that when I posted a pic of the steering wheel with the (small) flappy paddles on each side. It is a sequential semi-auto gearbox. This, I believe, is an option and you can still have a standard manual car if you so wish.

Needs to be a 2 litre to conform with the rules of rallying. If displacement was above this, Misti would not be able to use this car as a base for their next WRC car.

It looks perfect but will it be as good as the old ones as it looks like it might be heavier.
