[edit] Changed the intro a little, grammar nazi

I corrected some run-on and comma laden sentences and clarified some statements.

After reading and ammending some of the article, it seems that a lot of the information on the Evo VIII onwards is based completely on American Evolution, yet combines some information with the Japanese Evo VIII and '05 American Evolution. I believe we should either show information for each separate country on VIII onwards or just leave it at the Japanese and Rest of World editions.

I've noticed something else too, the article says that the japanese editions uses the same exact same engine of the american edition and thats simply wrong, the japanese editions produce more torque, 400Nm (295 ft-lb) for the GSR and 407Nm (300 ft-lb) for the GT And RS, while the american edition produce 392 Nm (289 ft·lb, btw the japanese records can be found in the japanese official brochure and the official website here http://www.mitsubishi-motors.co.jp/EVO/performance01.html . About the MR, I've added few words last night and Im gonna add few links and performance figures today EvolutioniuM 03:05, July 29, 2005 (UTC)

>>"the article says the japanese editions use the same engine as the american edition and that's simply wrong"

The Japanese, American and World editions of the 2003-2005 Lancer Evolution use the 2.0Liter Mitsubishi 4G63 Turbo Engine. The lower torque in the American version has more to do with the tuning and exhaust systems used to comply with the strict American (California specifically) emission standards. Most EVO owners (including myself) have their cars retuned early on to 'fix' this. That said, the American version of the Lancer Evolution was actually based on the 5-speed Japanese Evolution VII, using exterior styling similar to the Japanese Evolution VIII.

[edit] Cornerstone of GT4?

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?

The biggest problem is this : © 2005. All rights reserved.. That footer means that we cannot copy these images onto Wikiperdia because they are owned by somebody else. Very cool car though --2mcm^Gespräch 20:41, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] yes you can use the photo freely because it's from a press release

photo was taken from a press release you can distribute it freely in non profitable way

[edit] Evo IX

Could anyone change the dated Evo 8 top picture to up-to-date Evo IX?

Just post them so people can at least see them for a week.

[edit] Lancer Evolution X Concept

Is there a need to put the picture of the concept Evo X at the bottom of the page?There's already a pic of it on top of the article...Ceecookie 11:12, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

The Lancer Evolution X looks a lot meaner and angrier instead of a smile. Weird, yet it is the fast car and the best. Note: Help me with the Military time because I don't know how. Anything Else

[edit] Evolution V: weasel words

There is a mention of "reputable sources". Can anyone include references to those sources? --Unweasel 08:17, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Availability in Canada

In searching Google, I have found rumours that suggest that the X might be finally made available to Canada. Does anyone have any information regarding this? Confirm/deny?

IT IS COMING TO CANADA>>> I SPOKE WITH A MITSUBISHI REP. ITS COMING IN 2008

[edit] capitalization of "evo"

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)
