Mitsubishi Evolution Unveiling
North America yet again screws with the fascia of an already decent looking car and makes it look like a Galant.
Mitsubishi marketers didn't expect the traffic they'll be getting. The sites jammed up pretty bad now. It's a good sign for the SCC scene though.

Mazda6's North American fascia isn't so far from the original, so it's cool.
Damn 5 mph bumper regulations. Makes North American cars look like they have swollen lips.

...from what I read in an article a while back, all the Japanese carmakers are going towards having a unique characteristic for each brand....
Mazda: squinted eye headlamps and pentagon grille
Honda: Huge H on grille and Wedge headlamps
Mitsubishi: Split grille and altezza...
... so I guess they're just following suit with that strategy, the Evo still looks nice.. though I'd favor the current Euro version over this one...
