Is $8,000 difference enough? No?

 

i dont' think they will have problems. One is meant to be a daily driver... one isn't. The differences between them for the $8k is small.

 

Ask them what it would cost to insure a 2008 WRX- very similar specs (and sold to the same market) so the costs should be similar.

 

i was at my dealership yesterday and my rep told me that he'd be getting information about the ra in august and that i won't be able to pick one up until january '09.

 

Sucks if true, I'm ready for a new car like now.

 

yeah, i think mitsu is loosing a hellavalot of sales by delaying this, only die hard mitsu fans are holding out, and even some of them are converting now

 

i know i am losing interest in this car...first the SST only, mitsu not releasing any info, then the little issues cropping up with the Evo...

i may just wait beyond the RA for the rwd Nissan 240sx successor

 

When will this happen?

 

mistu is dropping the ball on this one for me i want info ...

i read rumors that it may be turbo, but this suggest also a hybrid powertrain

 

oh you mean the now rumored to be hybrid-rwd nissan 240sx successor?

 

New car announcements are always like this -- they announce really far in advance of shipping, because they can't exactly be like Apple and hide their new products until they're on the verge of shipping -- unless they start selling cars that haven't been properly road-tested...

However, I do think they could at least humour us all with periodic announcements about side-issue features: colours? wheel offset? folding seats? brakes? warranty? newer photos? possible upgrades with Evo parts? mileage? etc. -- we shouldn't have to pick over corporate business statements to figure out what the car weighs and we shouldn't have to pore over auto-show photos to figure out the likely warranty.

If Mitsubishi had more sense, they would have an official pre-ordering process for new cars, to lock in purchases and nudge the business end along faster by showing large numbers of advance sales.

 

I'm also looking forward to Toyota's/Subaru's sport cars. They sound awesome too. Lightweight, RWD (maybe AWD), with a boxer engine (2.0l or 2.5l) that will possibly be turbocharged. That will rock. I hope they will have a TC-SST type of transmission.

 

What's wrong with hybrid? I hope you're not assuming that it's going to be slow just because it's a hybrid. Hybrid does not necessarily mean slow.

 

I hope they don't list it above 25k or i may have to look into another car.

Subaru WRX
Mazda Speed 3
Chevy Cobalt SS


All under 25k, if the Ralliart Lancer was 23k i would buy it for sure. 26k and i may have to look at another car.


Lancer has the best design, i like the hand grip to unlock the doors with fast key and i like the interior.

Ralliart is #1 in my book, hopefully #1 in my bank account as well
