The Ultimate 2009 Ralliart Thread mega merge

I finally walked into the local dealership, here in Ottawa, Canada, he is expecting 3 Ralliarts in August and wanted me to put a deposit. I asked for the colours that would be available but didn't know..

i've talked to two dealerships in ontario. both don't have any ideas when the car's being released.
as for a deposit, the one dealership i asked told me to wait for more information before putting a deposit down.

Im pretty sure that the whole deposit thing has nothing to do with the cars release considering I went to a dealership here in San Antonio and they didnt know anything about the RA and they asked if I wanted to put a deposit down on it

Just make sure there's a sunset clause -- mine's at the end of November. Nothing beats a deposit for making sure you get the first one on the lot, and in a small market like mine, there are perhaps only going to be one or two Ralliarts coming in total (I'm hoping there will be more, but no matter what, I get the first one here if they're out by November 30 :-)
[as for potential problems with the car, you're also right about that, but life's too short to take no risks]

Exactly -- when I put my deposit down, almost everything the dealer knew about the car, they knew through me -- their regional manager confirmed it was coming out this year (which was good enough to take a deposit), but other than that they knew nothing official at that time. Putting down a deposit doesn't have anything to do with pricing, specs, or availability, unless you want it to (at the time I put down the deposit, I knew the specs, and that it would cost less than an Evo MR, but that was about it).

might as well wait for the 5 speed..
SST is like manual without the clutch anyway.. plus heavier...
just shifts faster..
if it comes with a 5 speed, the Ralliart may arguably be better than the EVO X when it comes to drag.
Mainly the longer ratios that will accompany it.
That's the case with Subarus and their WRX's at least...
Correct me if im wrong...
