). And im sure the IX is coming to america, just not the same version we see in those videos. There was that site, www.channel4.com, and they quoted, "Mitsubishi is hoping that the Evo IX will revive its flagging fortunes in the USA in particular, taking on the popular Subaru Impreza WRX" so it seems very likely they would bring the IX here. so i think i'll wait a tad bit until more info on the IX comes out, which it prob will. 
thanks for your help

there is no reason for you to wait for the IX. Like people have said there isnt even a exact date on when it is going to come out. Dont take your chances on waiting, buy one when you can and enjoy it!
The IX might not come with everything that everyone is saying it will have. Look at the MR we got here. In the begining everyone said how we were getting everything, when it got here they didn't even have the MR interior or extra power. If you might have problems getting it later get it now.
If nobody has a clue on when the 9'll be out, that would indicate to me that it will be a HELL of a long time. MUCH longer than 8 months. Japan will get it at least 1 model year before us and so will europe and europe just got the FQ-400. So i would go with the 8 if i were you.
i meant to get mine this april, but when i visited the dealer and offered me invoice for 05 gsr w/ ssl package, took it home, it's now sitting in garage and i have a big smile on my face, so go do it, get ur dream car now!!!

I could possibly get the VIII really soon (as in this or next month) or wait til the IX comes out. but the only thing with waiting for the IX is that i dunno how my financial status will be by then when it comes out in fall of 2005. (UNLESS it comes out in spring, which i really doubt). (if i can get the evo now, i will be able to maintain it) and i dont want to miss the opportunity to get the evo. Cuz 8 months is a LONG time to wait. but i dunno . any help would be nice

I think you do not have to make a choice right this second, I believe you should take some time to think things through. This does not mean you have to wait 8 months, but atleast wait till some more reliable hard facts come out about the EVO IX. Somebody made a good point about the EVO MR, and I too was fooled into believing it would be more than it turned out to be. While I do believe the EVO IX will be an all around better than the EVO VIII sold in the USA, I would wait for more information to substantate mine's and other's hunches.
Strap on a set and buy an 05!
I think people lose more from indecision than from bad decision. As far as I am concerned, the Evo 9 will be out in 2007. Mitsu just upgraded the EVO 8 so I think it needs two model years before the next big thing comes in. I feel next year Japan and Europe will get the 9, then it will be watered down and brought here.
