The problem isn't with the front mount, it's with the A/C condenser, which becomes punctured and spills coolant. As I've spelled out many times before, the Canadian laws say that there can be "No major mechanical failure" which includes an A/C puncture. As far as child restraints, and DRLs, honestly, that's something that's a piece of ****ing cake. DRLs can be retrofitted, and child restraints are not a problem.
It's not about the rebar needing to be reinforced, it's about the bumper collapsing in and puncturing the A/C. As far as it coming this fall, your dealership is way ahead of itself if it's expecting it's First EVO then. Mine still has NO idea when the first one is coming in, and neither does the DPSM (District Parts and Service Manager). Ralliart will be coming within the next 60 days though (Ralliart products, not the Lancer). In short--until you start seeing ads, or hear me saying "it'll be here soon!" Don't be expecting an EVO anytime soon.
It will be coming. There's no question. You just have to wait for the IX. Oh, and for those of you who were hoping th MR would make it up here? No joy yet.
