Farewell... 2015 Mitsubishi Evolution Final Edition
Japan-market only....
From Road & Track: "The tenth-generation Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution has been on sale in Japan since 2007, and in the U.S. since early 2008. That's a long time by auto industry standards. And while the Evo helped establish the genre of sneaky-fast turbo sedans (along with its longtime competitor from Subaru), it's time to bid the Evo X farewell. |

Always liked the Evos! They we're the sh!t back in the early 2000s when the pocket rocket craze was huge.

It's always sad to say farewell to a performance vehicle. Performance cars are the soul of an automaker.

The Evo XIII was my favorite. Like everything else in life, we all have an end.

Mitsubishi was saying never again, on more than one occasion, that's when I lost hope for the Evo to continue. It opened the door for Subaru to claim more sales for the STI though
