Less structural bracing. Less hardcore rear diff. Smaller wheels. Smaller intercooler. Not sure it will be heavier.

 

I dont mind driving one. 237hp is not bad, considering its only 3hp shy from the speculated 240-ish hp. I do hope they offer it in MT as well.

 

I had a good suspicion they would bundle the Recaros, HIDs, and Rockford System in one package and force it on you. I'm guessing this option will be $2500. The GSR SSS package is $2000 and I'm sure the Recaros are more expensive than the big spoiler. So with an educated guess it sounds like a RA with it's own SSS package (Sight, Sound, Seat) will come in at around $28k sticker. Not bad at all.

 

any clue what the warranty is? i doubt it'll be 10 yr drivetrain because of the standard SST but if it is...

i can see myself in this car with just a piggyback and it would be everything that i'd ever want for a reliable daily driver... AWD, HID, SST, recaro, turbo, etc.

the $10k saved by buying this car over the MR can be used to get parts that i actually want and will use. i'm a city slicker. far, far away from mountain roads and race tracks. not that i wouldn't love to drive in those places, it'd be a dream, but i'm realistic. i won't need AYC, the extra stiff bracing, extra wide track, etc. that the evo has over the RA. i want AWD for the snow we get in NY, the HID's for the visibility, SST for the bumper to bumper traffic, etc. the only thing that the evo has that i'd really, really want is the brembos. but that can be easily fixed

 

i think he means ACD...there is no ASC on the RA...navi is an option by itself

 

Any ideas on the MSRP?

 

Prices please

 

Great specs. Cant wait.

Also, dont be surprised if that orange color ends up on other models......

 

Ah, could be. Can you clarify whats in the doc pack? ASC and ACD? 'ACS' doesnt exist, and either you typo'd the D as an S, or you had a dyslexic moment Inquiring minds want to know! (But I think your right, DM)

 

We wont have an idea of MSRP until the first one shows up, but my manager has been saying a base model will go around $25K.

I will see if I can scan these pages into the forum, but at the moment I have no access, thats why I typed it out. It has the options for the regular lancer also. The GTS now comes with a 168 hp 2.4 L DOHC.
The new colors sound cool too. Octane Blue Metallic and Rotor Glow Orange Metallic.
Also the GTS now comes with a High-Contrast Meter Gauge, whatever that is. It just says new next to it.
The ES has an optional Sport Package: Large rear spoiler, Front and side airdams, fog lamps, chrome exhaust tip, and leather wrap steering wheel.

Oh yeah, and to the person that didn't know what ASC was "Active Stability Control"

 

great info. I'd really love for this to come in a manual

 

+1, this will be a selling point for me.

 

I can confirm that target base price is around 25 or "mid 20's" and this includes SST. There will be no manual option right now. Nothing has been released about this option for the future

 

it will be around 25k

 

do you think non recaro package model will have heated seats?
