The color shown at the Det auto show... Burnt orange i guess?

 

18s. Not as wide as the X's though.

That'd help shove it right into GSR pricing territory.

 

Right, but what I'm telling you is that whatever he says is going to have next to no applicability for you anyhow. I paid a FORTUNE to insure my 4-door, 4-cylinder, 2.4L 150 HP DODGE STRATUS my first year out -- about 2x what I paid this year to insure my Buick at age 24. Believe me, that Stratus was neither turbo, nor showroom fresh like your RA would be, and it cost me a lot to insure -- expect similar treatment.

 

EvoX, do you know if the black they mentioned was the Phantom Black (found on the Evo GSR/MR), or the Tarmac Black (on the base models/GTS)?

 

I'm sure they'll keep it like that for production. So far, the MR is the only version to get the matching tire sills and hood vents.

 

Is this photoshopped?

 

yes its photoshopped. so far we've only seen orange, black, gray, red, and white.

 

actually if you look back to the detroit pics, the wheels are the same powder coated color. just the lighting makes it look brighter than it does in normal light. as more pics become available, this becomes more apparent.

I've just got a reply from a product manager from Mitsu Schweiz AG that in Switzerland new RA will be available in September

 

My personal guess is they won't release it untill Oct-Nov in the US. Just like they kept pushing the evo back for this year. There is not a single dealership in my area that even has a clue about what a RA is outside of the older models. Does anyone have more information on it yet. I saw another posting saying he got a Dealership packet but never posted it.

 

the further they push the release date, the better. it gives me more time to save a bigger down payment.

i think it might be black or burnt orange for me, but then again its so hard for me to decide on colors

 

They should have smaller brakes for gravel rims, something like the RS brakes in Japan.

 

I think I would actually choose the burnt orange over black. (they are just quick chops so dont get your panties in a twist)

 

I actually like them both but i think i might have to go with the White one this time can u chop the RA in white with those rims
