And as far as the changes to the Evolutions themselves, you had Evo 1-2-3 in the 1st gen chassis. Then the Evo 4-5-6 in the 2nd gen chassis. Followed by the Evo 7-8-9 in the new chassis. None of them in their respective chassis look too dramatically different from each other. Remember, its the EVOLUTION, not REVOLUTION. The nose is different, the grill, the wheels, the rear bumper, and the wing is now hollowed out. So yes, while not drastic, the changes should help that little bit more and getting air to go where it works best. I think it looks great. Especially the open grille area and the new rear bumper with diffuser. Looks nice. And with the new engine tuning and MIVEC, should be that little bit better performer as well.
