I wonder what insurance will be like -

(Insurance on the Evo is my main deterrent right now)

And I can't wait for more "official" details on this 09 Ralliart!!

 

I hope it is close to the gts

 

Yes this is what I am hoping as well

I priced insurance for a WRX and it is "affordable"

 

what did the WRX come out to be around?

 

Personally, I think the brakes on the GTS are overdone for the car, but if you're planning on driving the RA flat-out on a track then you're going to want to buy custom brakes anyway. I'm guessing you'd need to change the tires as well as the brakes to get near to top speed.

If you're just driving on highways with the standard tires, even completely ignoring the limit (or maybe driving in Germany), the GTS wouldn't be that much slower, and I think it weighs about the same as the RA.

Probably not that expensive to change, if you just replace the discs and pads.

 

Not to be a jerk, but this isn't a relevent question. You're a young driver, just getting your license (I just read your other post), and premiums vary greatly from region to region anyhow. You will almost certainly pay more than whatever's quoted simply for being a new licensee.

 

maybe it's just the lighting but the color on the wheels looks more like dark gray powder coat instead of gunmetal. there's definitely not as much luster as real gunmetal. now the BBS wheels on the MR... THAT's gunmetal to die for

 

you mean like this



I got this tiny little baseball card at the edmonton car show there is specs on the back but nothing that we havent heard yet,Btw WW FTW!

 

Wait...is Canada getting a better warranty?!?

 

 

10/5/5 year warranty!!!!
wow, the GSR I saw at the dealer had just 5/5/5 years.

 

$25k for a 235hp/253tq AWD, turbocharged Mitsubishi with a detuned Evo engine but alot of its same characteristics and the best transmission out there? Please, this will be the steal of the century! I cannot wait

 

Yea - as the above poster said

Insurance varies a lot for many different reasons, let me just say I'm 22 still a young driver with no accidents either at fault or no fault. And the Evo's insurance was around 250+ bucks a month , about 1500+ for six months

While the WRX came out for me around a more reasonable 700 or so for 6 months

So I was just hoping that new cars don't get an increased insurance premium just because they are new, and the insurance companies aren't sure how to price them.

Here's to hoping the RA will be coming in a 5spd and in blue by you!

 

i would hope this RA is able to be reflashed seeing how the current one is like fort knox.

 

It should be doable, but not necessarily right away. For example, the 02-06 Lancers have the same ECUs as the Evo 8/9s, but it took awhile before they could flash due to having different locks/encryptions/whatever on the ECUs software.
