like most of you guys, love that interior, its finally good to see mitsubishi address what has always been the weakest part of the car.

The rest of it looks plain gorgeus too. Love those wheels understated but so damn cool.

Btw does anyone know if this is the final finished article, if so Mitsubishi really have taken a bold step in keeping as faithful as possible to their concept.

i love it.

for all of you commenting on the interior -- the production car will not come with the alcantara-like dash inserts you can see on the dash and doors, it will be plastic (a higher quality plastic than we are used to seeing, though). still nice!

also, the production car will have 18" wheels rather than 20's you see in the concept photos.

though the DSG box can be set to an auto-shifting mode, it is not "an automatic".

to put it simply;
it has two gearsets and two clutches -- one gearset consisting of 1st, 3rd and 5th; the other of 2nd, 4th, and 6th.
while accelerating in say, 2nd gear and shifting to 3rd, the box simply "flicks" the drive to the other gearset which already has 3rd gear engaged.
this means a gearchange seems literally instant, F1 style, and really must be experienced to be believed.

the vw/audi-style 6 speed DSG box will shift faster than even the quickest of normal manual shifts. having driven DSG-equipped cars, it is truly an awesome piece of engineering, and personally, makes the Evo X infinitely more appealing.
