So there must be some logic in excluding the Evo you mentioned. Perhaps the fact that its availability was limited? I believe someone mentioned that it was never available in the States. I never remember it landing here.
The question is...is the Evo FQ-400 truly a factory car? It certainly doesn't come off the factory assembly line as a FQ-400. In fact New Zealand-based WRC Developments is responsible for the final tuning of the car, not Mitsubishi. The FQ-400 is also a UK market car, with only 28 units total. To call it a factory Evo is a big stretch, which is why it is ignored when publications claim the CLA45 to be the most powerful 4-cylinder produced.
