What was really funny in that rediff page was the first line

"Japanese automobile company Mitsubishi Motors is gearing up to enter the luxury sedan category with Lancer Evolution X"

Yeah right thats what I am looking for the the Evo 10.. a Luxury Sedan..
Heated seats, rain sensitive wipers, climate control.

"Mister salesman - what other features does this have?? How is the leg room in the back seat? Comfortable?"

!! Pifff !!!

with our wonderful import duty rates and looking at US/UK et all prices, I agree that it would be in 30L range.

Also, EVO and VFM are rarely used in the same sentence.
I agree but the Subaru WRX is quite on par. Dont think GM would bring it after the forester failure.

Its exactly for this reason I dont believe that the car will be launched here in India with 280 odd bhp? It will come with the Evo X design with some lame 2L engine with 135bhp (just lil more powerful than the Cedia)

When I hear more official news I will believe it.
