Wee Dougie Member 23 Member For: 19y 3m 25d Location: Palm Nth (NZ) Posted 08/11/05 09:03 AM Share Posted 08/11/05 09:03 AM I have an 05 XR6T which I am stoked with but cant wait till my lease runs out in 18 mths to get a Typhoon. All your comments make it sound a great car, noticed several people saying the new BF will be a bit more expensive, any confirmed prices?I also saw the new Mitsi Evo 10 due for release around the same time my lease expires in 07, will have to compare it with the Phoon, it looks alot more European and less boy racer which is about time.I know, I know, go the Phoon!

Taking into account the Premium Brembo option on my phoon of course.My guess is that EVO X would be loads more $$$ again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(personal opinion)I agree totally.As for "better", it's down to what you want/personal opinion once again. Full-size sedan was a given for me for example, even though I'll be the only one in it most of the time To each his own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will just have to drive the 2 and compare.Have tried to attach a pic of the Evo X, you must admit is alot nicer than the Evo 7, 8 & 9 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 08/11/05 08:54 PM Share Posted 08/11/05 08:54 PM I have had 2x XR6 Turbo's previously and was looking at getting a Typhoon but chose the EVO 9 over it. I tell you what I have no regrets. I have already placed a verbal order on the EVO 10 already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read on one car site the front will definately be redesigned as well as the interior and other details before production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is still going to be a nicer looking model than the 7,8s and 9s (in my opinion) Great to see some European styling coming through. Is the only way I can wrangle one as my company car!!
