Keep in mind, Ralliart did manufacture aftermarket parts for the older Evo's. So that could confuse people as well.

raliart brand had been butchered by the marketing idiots.
to me ralliart shouldve been the top of the line trim.
but somewhere down the line, they stuck ralliart badges on everything just to sell.
this was a huge let down for the brand. i think our lancer ralliart was "going out with a bang" from the ralliart performance dept before they shut down.

For you, it would be... Does it piss you off when someone just calls your Evo a Lancer?

People either know what it is or just stand there staring at it.

People who called it a Lancer would be just as correct as people calling it a Mitsubishi or an Evolution...lol.

While true, I would take it offensively if someone just called it a Lancer, without at least saying Evo or Evolution. If I had a high-end Lancer Evolution which costs about $20k more than the base model Lancer DE, I would say "no no, it's an Evo. Get it right."

I don't even bother telling people what I drive, anymore. I hate getting asked that question. There is no correct answer.
Girl (at bar): What do you drive?
Me: An Evo.
Girl: lol, a wut?
Me: It's a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution.
Girl: ......
Me: It was designed for Rally Racing. It is a "rally car" of sorts.
Girl: Rally racing? I think that I need another drink.
Me: This one is on me.

If you buy an Evolution with the expectation of impressing anyone (other than yourself), then you are in for a serious shock.
My Eclipse convertible was my girl car.
