2006 Lancer Evolution IX
May 7th, 2007
This fall, the Mitsubishi IX will replace the Evolution VIII, which was the first Evo ever sold in the United States. What most people are not aware of is that the brand new IX is more of a makeover of the VIII and not just a brand new vehicle that they started from scratch.
But there is no need to be dissapointed because they have done an amazing job. First of all, the car looks better. The headlights and taillights have been smoked dark and the split grille, which was always a bit too Pontiac for our taste, has been replaced with one large opening like Mitsubishi had on the Evo VII.
