Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution

Which model do you guys like more the one they have now or the one of the future

NOW- http://www.mitsubishicars.com/MMNA/jsp/evo/06/index.do?loc=en-us

FUTURE-http://www.mitsubishicars.com/MMNA/jsp/evo/08/index.do?loc=en-us

I like the one they have now the one of the future looks like a station wagon to me from the side view and i dont like its spoiler

The the headlights and the front around the radiator of the next generation Lancer look wrong. It looks like they got the designers for the Dodge Charger to help design the front.

Blech, neither. I’m not a fan of Mitsubishi cars. The older one’s better though…the '08 is trying too hard to look sleek. The way it slopes down makes it look awkward, and like John said, the front end looks funny.

Are you getting one?

'01 Mitsubishi Galant ftw!!

I agree with Alex…the newer one is trying too hard to look cool.

'01 Mazda MPV ftw!!

:sunglasses:

Seeing those pictures reminds me that I need to wash my car… :frowning:

Haha yeah…I’ve forgotten that my van can actually be shiny.

'90 Geo Metro FTW!

lol… hey, it’s what I drive and it works…

Definatly… The current one is better

It’s a wing, there’s quite a distinct difference

whats the differnce?
the shape?
does it effects the cars performance between them?

A spoiler is designed to generate vorticity in the flow to increase the air pressure behind the car to be closer to that at the front, thus decreasing drag. It improves acceleration, fuel economy and top speed. Spoilers can be as subtle as a very slight flick, of the order of a few millimetres, along the rear edge of the bootlid. They’re used almost universally in road cars, if you look carefull most modern cars have a slight lip at the rear-most edge of their bodywork. They also sometimes look something like this, which is mostly to make the car look good.

A wing is designed to generate downforce, in order to give the tyres more grip. It increases the speed that the car can turn corners at, but decreases acceleration, fuel economy and top speed as it increases drag force. Wings need to be outside the boundary layer to experience high-speed airflow so are usually mounted some distance from the body.

There is a third option - the sales gimmick. This is the category that most of those wing/spoilers you see on souped up novas fall in to, they offer no benefits except aesthetically.

And monkeyman, we should really keep all those grammar cartoons in a thread somewhere, that’s a good one.

It’s called google images. :slight_smile:

so does the old one have a spoiler or wing?

wing, if you look at the link you orignially posted and hover over the word aeordynamics by the rear wing it tells you about the downforce generation.

i still think the peugeot 206 WRC edition is the nicest looking rally car ever.

the old one in grey looks awesome as well though

While I like the new one better, it does have its downsides.

The front end looks like a Dodge Charger mixed with a VW/Audi.

Other than that, I thought it looked real nice. The current one, imho, looks cheap.
