Well considering the MR is just another version of the evoVIII just like the cobra and the GT and the 7 looks like the 8 since in years before the 4-6 looked alike.

My nominee for most ignorant statement of the week

If you think the Evo is just a run of the mill lancer with a turbo slapped on you are sadly mistaken.

You're a dumbass. The Evo is almost an entirely different car. Stronger engine, better suspension, better brakes, AWD, better interior, ricey wing.

I'd have to drive both, but from what I've heard about the handling difference between the two I'd probably end up in the Evo. Well, that and the natural progression from one 4G63-powered car to another. Those flat fours do sound cooler, though.
