  Unpopular opinion: People buying SUVs is what killed rally homologation cars in the the automobile industry.

  The saddest part is Mitsubishi is still trying to use their history for marketing, trying to use the Ralliart name to push suv’s and crossovers that would barely touch “performance” especially compared to what came before. Hopefully with a growing sport car market they might change their tune

  I’m from Japan.<br>My father,grandfather worked for Mitsubishi Corporation (NOT motors)<br>So Usually, my home cars were only Mitsubishis and I hated that.<br>Because you can support the whole Mitsubishi group and can have some discount too.<br>I remember the first time my dad bought was Mazda Savanna Rx-7, then Toyota Prius.I ask my dad<br>“where did your loyalty for Mitsubishi go?”<br>He said “If there’s a choice in Mitsubishi lineup in sports car or hybrid genre I would’ve bought them, but Mitsubishi motors doesn’t .They are not acquit one&apos;s obligation as a family car developer.”<br><br>I recognize Mitsubishi motors was done

  Seriously. Thank you all for listening to my stories. I appreciate each and every one of you. <br><br>As a kid, among my friends I was the storyteller. Ranting and waving my hands, telling the latest tale of our drifting escapades, or how we went ghost hunting in the forest. Those are my favorite times, sitting around and telling a few people something and entertaining them. <br><br>This is just a bigger campfire, and I am so glad you are all here. &lt;3

  4G63T is a legendary engine... I was proud to own an Evo 9 MRSE but during the financial collapse of 2008.. everyone lost their jobs that time including mine so it forced me to sell my beloved Evo.. &nbsp;Always knew it&apos;ll be a collectors car one day and now, I terribly regret letting it go. &nbsp;Always going to be a fan of EVOs. &nbsp;Mitsu really need to bring it back.

  James May of Grand Tour literally slammed the side of his EVO into the end of a tunnel doing around 80 MPH, then took it to a shop and get it running again, only to later have it fall through the ice on a lake later in the same special, he then proceeded to pull it out and get it running AGAIN

  Imagine being so good that the only reason you didn’t remain competitive was because everyone else held you back afraid you’d kick their ass. Mitsubishi fucking rocks!

  The Evo IV 8 and 9 will always be my favorites. I truly respect Mistubishi for going their own way. As mechanically difficult as they were the 3000GT was absolutely beautiful and waaaay ahead of its time. Cars now have features that only the 3000gt had at the time. And going back to the Evo, Its still beastly af and timeless. You show up anywhere to a car meet in an evo and people are going to take notice. Take the same car at the same meet but modified and people are going to hide their pink slips.

  I&apos;m a subaru boi and I&apos;ve got to pay my respects to the fallen titan that was Evo. I like the (hopefully) jokey rivalry between the fans and it&apos;s fun to play up the beef sometimes, but god dammit I admire them freaking lancers, they are amazing cars. From blue evil, you red devils absolutely rock.<br>I don&apos;t hold out hope to see Evo badge done justice again, but if it were to happen, it would be a sight to behold.
