Sad day for the Evo brand
 

well it looks like the 2011 subaru softtop will take of now :whistle:

Dead, dead, the witch is dead, the wicked wicked witch is dead!

:yeah:

:getmecoat:

Haha above :)

Just when Subaru open a new factory to build the new generation of boxer engines

Makes my car worth more as residuals will go up :doubleup:

Yeah yeah yeah, blah blah blah!

Mitsubishi are running scared mate and you know it!

:wink:

Lets hope Subaru don't go the same route:sos:

They have mate with that gay top thing. It really is embarrassing :nod:
Let's hope the Toyota Subaru plan come's together. As that thing looks Fantastic.:twisted:

So the next 'evo' obviously branded something else, will be electricaly powered:doh:

No worries with the db levels for track days then:whistle:


Is such a shame, seem to have swallowed this global warming crap:cry:

End of an era

Mitsubishi will just blend in now with other car makers

I thought Mitsubishi had already confirmed the Evo XI would be a hybrid?

Its a shame to see another longstanding Japanese performance car disappear from the showrooms. Despite the various gripes with Subaru and their marketing decisions, I guess we should be thankful that the Impreza is living on...



...for now anyway!

But its not a Impreza anymore... Just Wrx STi

All joking aside, it is indeed sad to see the end of the Evo as we know it. :sadnod:

5's & 6's especially were just wonderful things, the Tommi's were lovely. In fairness, it was about then that Scoobies and Evo's were probably at their best. Real "drivers" cars.

As both makes got older, wider, heavier (like myself!) and more gizmo driven, they lost a little bit of what made them special.

So, indeed it will be a sad farewell to the Evo, lets just hope that the Cosworth invovement with the scooby breathes new life into it's old veins!

:ok:

Hey, I'm suppose to be the picky one round here! :D

Fair point though, what I should have said is that I suppose we should be glad the Impreza is living on in some form.

Chins up guys, The future is birght.........The future, is sideways!!!!!!

Coooool :cool:

Thats the FT-86 (the Toyota version of the coupe), isn't it? The last bit of info I read with regards to the 216A (the Subaru version of the coupe) is that it will have the same engine, but CVT - so sideways action may be limited!

It is indeed a sad day for the evo, its a real shame too because the evo has been the age old nemisis of the scooby for such a long time its not gonna be the same with out the whole "new scooby released new evo released" :-(

Didnt think too much of the end comment when they said:
“Yes. Maybe the world can change, and maybe someday we can do a motor race by electric vehicles,” said Eusegi. “Maybe then we can enter the market again.”

An electric evo? dosent really have the same ring to it tbh

Nige I hope everything goes to plan today..:ok:

and that nothing falls off.:nono:
