Evo VI is truly the best Evo. regardless of all the new technology in the new ones, I've always considered VI (don't even have to be TME) to be the best.


Here are some pics of an Evo VI that I spotted sitting in the parking lot of Mitsubishi HQ in Cypress, CA. I was just "jogging" in the vicinity, trying to locate some EVO VIIs (back in 2002 when VII just came out in Japan)

This this is absolutely stunning.

9 has more tech gadgets to get you planted on the ground. But some people prefer less electronic intrusion. the AWD system on the VI is already good. Of course, AYC and ACD on the VII+ are nice.
