I can't believe once again Mitsubishi has decided to keep the Lancer from entering America. They just announced the latest version, the Lancer Evolution VII:

http://www.mitsubishi-motors.co.jp/PDF-E/evo7.pdf

280 HP advertised (Japan's agreed apon limit on advertised hp. The last generation dyno tested at 310-320hp. Extrapolating out from the torque, this one is about 340hp or so)
283lb/ft of Torque
2900-3085 lbs
17x8" rims with 235/45ZR17 tires
Momo steering wheel
Recaro seats
High intensity Xenon headlights
Active center differential (multiplate clutch type) all wheel drive unit, selectable tarmac, gravel, and snow modes
Active yaw control
4 piston Brembo brakes front, 2 piston Brembo rear

Get this, the RS version (same hp rating) starts at just $21,159 in US dollars, and the GSR starts at $25,193. Ugh, that makes me sick. I want one. Badly.
