If you understand how carbon credits work you will understand why companies are all going green.. to offset their total credits.
I think everyone forgets that electricity has less lagg
It is not like a traditional evo platform but i guess it is the future.
Everyone complained about the Evo X when it came out.. oh its 150kg heavier than a IX... blah blah blah.. I sold my IX and went to a X MR. Yes it is heavier but... lets compare
HID
X MR = YES
IX = NO
DVD NAVIGATION
X MR = YES
IX = NO
RECARO
X MR = PROPER JDM SEATS + HEATING & AIRBAG
IX = CRAPPY SEAT BOLSTERS NON JDM. NO HEATING. NO AIRBAG
AIR BAGS
X MR = 9 AIR BAGS
IX = 3 AIR BAGS
WHEELS
X MR = 18" BBS
IX = 17" BBS (IF YOU BOUGHT THE PERFORMANCE PACK)
SUSPENSION
X MR = YELLOW BILSTEIN
IX = YELLOW BILSTEIN (IF YOU BOUGHT PERFORMANCE PACK)
RAIN WIPERS
X MR = STANDARD (IN ALL EVOS)
IX = NO
BREMBO
X MR = LARGER AND 2 PIECE SYSTEM
IX = YES SINGLE PIECE
SOUND SYSTEM
X MR = ROCKFORD FOSGATE
IX = OKAY SPEAKERS FOUND IN LANCER
KEYLESS ENTRY
X MR = YES
IX = NO
DIGITAL EUROPEAN INFO METER
X MR = YES
IX = NO
MIVEC

IX = INTAKE ONLY
KW
X MR = 217KW
IX = 206KW
HANDLING
X MR = S-AWC
IX = ACD
There was a tuner that says the 4B11 is a much better race engine. 4G63 was solid but it was never up to the level of 4B11. 4G block has been around since Cordia and Starion. Mitsubishi did what they should have done ages ago, which was to turn the engine the other way round. Things also like the automatic turbo timer on the X MR is also a cool feature.
Overall it is a more solid car.
So going back on topic, maybe the new Evolution will be another jump above 4B11.
My 2 cents from my experience going from IX to X MR
