========================
The Lancer Evolution X, Eusegi told me, will be the last Evo. “There is still a demand [for the car],” he said, “but we must stop.” Eyebrow up.
“Our influence now is EV technology,” Eusegi said, adding that the decision was a “policy change”.
It seems Mitsubishi, which is going to introduce eight full electric or hybrid cars by 2015, has decided its image is about lowering CO2, not making lurid replicas of rally cars that don’t go top-level rallying any more.
Eusegi said that customers would find it “easier to understand” what Mitsubishi was about if it was no longer in this motorsport-inspired market.
========================
Типа фирма меняет имидж на белый (то есть зеленый) и пушистый а Evo этот имидж испортит.
Конечно, фигни типа Приусов можно впарить в Штатах лохам и выпендрилам гораздо больше чем Эвиков.
