Those lucky leadfeet at AutoWeek got a chance to take Mitsubishi's 2005 addition to the Evo franchise, the MR, for a burn around Vancouver. The MR, ever-so-slightly more swank than the Evo RS or VIII rager, considering its relatively more forgiving Bilstein shocks and six-speed shifter. But the 276hp MR is no Fauntleroy, coming in faster than the RS on acceleration and showing more finesse in the corners. Some call it Mr. Evo; maybe Mr. Hyde would be more apt.
