The new Lancer looks pretty good. Mitsubishi is changing direction...people are going to like it and some won't, but its a decision that was made to continue with the company's well being.
As for the new EVO with the new 4B11 motor, i am going to see what it does. ALOT have expressed the "sadness" of the retirement of the legendary 4G63, but times are changing the the expression "All good things come to a end" never meant soo true pertaining to the 4G63.
I am pretty confident Mitsu has put in ALOT of R&D on the development on the next EVO and the new motor. I think I read that Mitsubishi has been designing the new 4B11 for almost a decade already. Anyhow...i am going to see what this new motor can do. I give it a year after the debut of the new EVO, and I am sure the big name tuners will expose the potential the 4B11 has. Then we can make fair comparisons and arguements between the 4G63 and 4B11 and see if Mitsubishi "Evolved".
The reaction of the avid 4G63 fans are reacting much like the Honda guys when they got news Honda was retiring the "B series" motors for the new K series motors. From what I read and heard...the K series are much more reliable and produce better results than the B series.
With all that said.....the 4G63 will be missed but still legendary. It will still get aftermarket support long afterward. The 4G63 had a very good run...and NOT many manfacturers can claim having a production motor for almost 2 decades that produced the mindblowing results that the 4G63 did. ;)
