Life itself is not long enough to pronounce the full name.

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X FQ-400.

Phew.

Mind you, I guess we should all get in practise for the new BMW naming policy!!

This is a car for track days not everyday and to try and charge as much as Nissan does for the GTR i mean are they saying its as good as that?. Know what think should be brought in as a government legislation all cars in different categories should have minimum range full tanks ie small cars 250mls, family cars  600mls,sports cars etc a minmum of 350mls, live to hear some comments on that suggestion, and no its not as daft as think, i wouldn't want to have to stop every two hours in my FQ400 to refuel not to mention the costs, i mean its like owning a supercar and its inherent costs in a car that going to lose have its value in two years, its just plain stupid to make a car that needs petrol every week just to goto Tesco! , in theory if you used it every day you could be filling it up every day! so unless your well minted its a no brainer buy something else for your thrills.
