6 speed is only in the EVO MR, they will probably put the 6speed tranny in the EVO X MR

Super Active Yaw Control (SAYC) was never brought to the US, only in Japan, Europe and Australia did the Evo feature the electronic Yaw control.
The new Super Active Wheel Control (SAWC), uses Torque vectoring to send different amount of torque to any wheel at any given time.
The evo X i will judge when it comes out, i love the styling, but until the release the actual features on the car i wont say i like it or not. i just hope they dont make it as gay and expensive as i think they are. They are trying to make it compete with higher end european cars, they tried it once and the same demise will come to it as it did the eclipse, when they tried to make the eclipse compete with higher end cars.
The Evo wont pull them out of the hole, but the Lancer Ralliart should. It wont be the gay Lancer with some wheels and a spoiler and a special emblem. It will be the mitsu version of the WRX when released, featuring the 4g63T and AWD but obviously tuned down from the EVO.
