I think you're right on the money. Hopefully you won't have to get all the options in one bundle package.

A/c auto windows and all that will be stand

Press release made it sound like Bluetooth and FAST are standard.

I think EvoX326 or someone else was wondering about the colors on the Ralliart.

I took a stab at it over at the Photoshop Section.

In other subject, I am really excited about the new Ralliart. Granted it is going to get the "Little Evo" name stuck to it, but for people like me who can't (or dont want to) go all out on high performance I think the new RA is excellent. Specially if you would use it as a daily drive.

So the new Ralliart is just like the old 2G Eclipse GSX? Detuned Evo motor, detuned Evo AWD system, still has lots of performance, but not quite Evo quality.

Lets hope this doesnt spawn another talon I know they said it will have a suspension from the evo9. NE one think that the evo9 coilovers or struts will fit.

thanks for that, i was looking for one in white and it looks like that will have to be my next car, minus the front crome trim nose outline thingy.

pretty much, i wouldnt say detuned awd system seeing how its using the evo9 awd setup which i believe comes from the outlander

unfortunately thats usually the case, if you want one thing you get 15 other things you dont care about. when i bought my RA i just wanted a sunroof but i would of had to pay $850 since the sound system was part of that package.

well tein springs for 04-06 lancers work for 08 lancers so this is a possibility.

White seems like it will be popular, I like it too , but maybe with a red trim? Like the VW?




Excuse my poor photochoping...
I found my '08 Lancer Brochure so I will try to do those colors at the Photoshop section.

thats better than any photoshop ive done

my ideal ralliart would be pearl white with 5 speed + hids and recaros (but heated recaros!)

I know thay've said that they had "plans" for a M/T, but with the money on hand and a Ralliart at the dealership I don't know if I could wait. Thank fully I don't have the money on hand so I might HAVE to wait anyways.

My thought on the SST is now kinda of split:

On one hand from what I read it will be more difficult to tune/mod the SST Ralliart than a hypothetical 5-speed (or 6-speed, or whatever), but then again I have not made mods to cars anyways (so chances are I won't get to do it on this one either). When I owned an auto 04 RA, the MT guys were getting all the fun stuff (at least first), and I can now drive the MT... I would not want to miss out.

On the other hand (and more realistically) since I probably won't get a chance to tune my car (I mean I'm a IT guy not a mechanic, after all) I could take advantage of the stock power and stock comfort features. It is a 4-door sport sedan anyways... and during daily driving, letting the SST shift for me is easier. I do plan to keep my Eclipse Spyder so there is my fun controlled shifting experience right there!!


I have also now added new colors to the Photoshop section


Just my $0.02

White is now the favorite color in cars beating silver by a close margin.
