Canadian EVO is longer lol


There it is, the first noted difference between US and Canadian Evolutions. Longer is probably because of the front bumper changes to pass the low speed impact test. I hope they are not making it look hideous!

This also will likely make it possible to import a US evolution, but only if you upgrade the bumper (and possibly the supports) to the Canadian EVO bumper. May be more trouble than it is worth.

Since they put in a note specific to Canada it leads me to believe that other than the length everything else will be the same. I hope it is not the same. I hope I can get the BBS wheels on the manual version in Canada.

From another thread:

Does anyone know when the official specs of the Evo X are supposed to come out? I thought they were coming out in the Tokyo Motor Show. I know the estimates are 295hp and 300tq but I was wondering if those are official yet and when all the other stuff like the curb weight and such are supposed to come out.

These specs were pre-Tokyo Auto Show, but the curb weight is listed at 3344 lb for the GSR and 3388 for the MR. I do not see how the weights could differ significantly from these as most everything is staying the same.

Maybe that is a good discussion point, what will be different between US and JDM spec Evo's? We already have an idea of that as well, because Chris already posted the standard and optional/package equipment for the GSR and MR.

I don't believe there will be any difference between US and JDM Evo's in terms of power and torque, but I wouldn't mind being wrong (if it is more power for North America).
