Just because your was a day later doesnt mean that much man, especially considering the content (vague PR bs) and source of your quote (Facebook). Even the article you posted says this..
Like I said, vague. Combine it with the source and its less informative than Gayu Eusegi interview.
And I think your missing a key part man... An interview with Gayu Eusegi (Mitsubishi's head of global product development) means ALOT more than some short vague two liner on Mitsubishi's facebook page. You say Facebook is straight from the source, when really Gayu Eusegi IS the source lol. If Gayu Eusegi said that in an interview its more than concrete, someone in his position doesnt make a claim like that if it isnt true. He even went as far as to say an electric Evo isnt even on the table right now (my main reason for showing that second article).
