MasHD Autonews - Mitsubishi's Evolution to end after 2015

Mitsubishi has hit some rough ground over the past few years , but that might get even rougher as the company has confirmed its decision to send the Mitsubishi Evo to rest after 2015 (Markets outside the U.S have already said bye-bye to the brand since the beginning of the year)  . Mitsubishi , rather ironically has released black and white photos of the 2015 Mitsubishi Evo in a way to mourn the passing of the rally spec performance sedan . The 2015 model is said to come with the same 2.0 Liter turbocharged 291 horsepower engine as its predecessor and it will have the usual all wheel drive system onboard . The base version is said to include leather in the steering wheel, a 6 speaker sound system , Bluetooth control and a central dash with a 6.1" touchscreen display .18" wheels are standard and so as the usual Brembo brakes . Transmission comes with a 5 speed manual .You can get a sunroof ,  leather upholstery everywhere and heated seats if you order the premium  package . If you wan't more , you can spec for BBS rims , Xenon headlamps , Rockford fosgate sound system and a 6 speed dual-clutch transmission , Eibach springs with Bilstein shock absorbs with the MR variant . The price of the basic 2015 Evo is said to be close to that of its predecessor .

However it is , we are sure to miss the Evo as it left a permanent mark in the history of motorsport and street racing  The decision to end the "Evolution" was mostly in favor of introducing a newer hybrid/electric powertrain , the transmission and the powertrain might use a dual clutch / electric power system but so far ,the project is still in development .

HTC One to sell as TD 101 at China Mobile

HTC decided to invest in such a brand by launching the One series of smartphones last year, although the company was not able to impose its own product names to certain carriers. Then, just a few days ago, the company launched the HTC One, which is going to be the company’s only One-branded handset this year, a make-or-break kind of project for the Taiwanese Android maker that’s still having a tough time fighting against the competition, especially Samsung. We were under the impression that HTC will further invest in its One brand and not budge to carrier demands anymore when it comes to changing the name of the product – in the U.S., AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile are going to sell it as the HTC One. But it looks like things aren’t necessarily so, and no, it’s not Verizon that’s going to get its way selling the One as the Droid DNA Plus, as it was recently rumored. We’re looking at China Mobile this time around, which has announced the HTC One as the HTC TD 101. That’s certa...
