Guys,
Checking out the asian forums for news I found info and pictures of the lancer 9.... Apparently, artical was written on 12-24-04. It's in Jap so all you ppl who can read Jap, feel free to chime in on what it's saying... Just thought I'd share... [新聞] 三菱 Lancer EVOLUTION IX 速報 【三菱ランサーエボリューションIX プロトタイプ速報】狙いはシンプルな正常進化…河口まなぶ 2004年12月24日 狙いはシンプル。「前後外観を一新し、走りの性能はMRをベースに、MIVECターボエンジンを新たに搭載 し全域高性能を現。動力性能における走りの質感を向上した」というもの。まさにランエボらしい進化といえ る。 つまりコンセプトは不変ながらも、今回も確に性能を一歩前進させた、ということだ。開責任者である（乗 用車開本部 藤井氏）がまず強調したのは、見 た目における部分について。とくにリアまわりにしては、「今まであまり後ろを気にしていなかったが、今回 はアイデンティティとなるような造形を施しまし た」という。 これはつまり、リアのバンパーのことを指している。今回のランエボXIプロトタイプのリアビューは、確かに ブラックアウトされたディフューザーを備えたバンパーが特徴的だ。 同時に気を使ったのが、これまでも採用され高い評価を得てきたレカロシート。いわく「乗りみ時など、サイ ド部分が滑るのでここに本革を使い、メイン生地 にアルカンタラを使うことでより機能性を高めると同時に質感も向上させました」。高評価に甘えぬ、とても真 摯な姿勢が印象的だ。 ほかのエクステリアでは、フロントバンパーを新型とすることで、冷性向上、空力特性も考慮されている。ま たインテリアでは、黒内を基調としてカーボン 調パネルをあしらったほか、機能性を考慮して新たに滑りにくいアルミ製ペダルを与えるなどもした。もちろん ここには、スポーティで質感ある空間を演出する という狙いもある。 こうしてランエボIXプロトタイプでは、よりアグレッシブなエクステリア、機能性質感向上を狙ったインテリ アが構築されたのだ。（つづく） |

Does any of that Japanese writing admit the car is uglier than sin?
I swear, even hell would kick that car out. As kickass as it is I couldn't stand walking up to that in a parking lot everyday or seeing it in my garage...ugh..did I mention I think it's ugly? |

Material feeling of the running in power efficiency those which improved ". Just, you can call the evolution which ランエボ seems. In other words concept the unchangeability, this time definite? It means that the one step it advanced efficiency. Opening? It is the patsy, (car opening? Headquarters Fujii) what it emphasizes first is to see about the part in the eye. Especially, the @ doing around the rear, "until now excessively it did not designate rear as the air, but this time, it administers kind of modelling which becomes identity and increase it is" with says. This is plugged, points to the thing of the bumper the rear. As for rearview of the latest ランエボ XI prototype, is certainly the bumper which has the diffuser which blackout is done feature. レカロシート which obtains the appraisal to which it is adopted so far and is high that the air was used simultaneously. It is, the framework "riding? When and the like seeing, it meaning that the side part slides, when you use this leather here, by the fact that the alkane tare is used in main cloth you raise functionality to a greater extent, it improved also material feeling simultaneously ". It does not presume upon high appraisal, very true 摯 attitude is impressive. In the other exterior, by the fact that the front bumper is designated as new model, with respect to cold 0 propensity, also aerodynamic quality is considered. In addition with interior, inside black? Besides the fact that the carbon pitch panel was treated as a keynote, considering functionality, it did e.g., it gives the aluminum make pedal which it is difficult to slide anew. Of course, there is also the aim here of producing the space which is material feeling with スポーティ. In this way, with ランエボ IX prototype, a more aggressive exterior, the interior which aimed for functional material feeling improvement was constructed. (It continues)
