Why is the new blue so hard to get??

Why is the new electric blue so damned hard to find. My dealer Obrien Mitsubishi said they are only getting one in. And that is the only dealership around my are that is getting one.

how many of the each of the other colors are they getting in? It may be that they're just not getting a lot of evo's in general...

saw a blue one in pensacola on friday and there's a blue one here at renner in milwaukee. i thought dealers can trade or switch cars. in '03 my dealer (renner) traded a white one for a silver one w/ a dealer in texas for me. now this was done before the cars were shipped from the port in california. i'm saying where there's a will.......

Go into the dealer and throw down a deposit and have him order you one. If you make yourself look serious and dedicated, they WILL get you what you want. This is what I did with the RS to guarantee a white, AC but no jungle package RS. You might have to wait a while (I waited 7 months) but if you want something in particular that bad, its worth the wait. And nothing beats getting "the call" and going to the dealer to see your car on display in the front or in the showroom with a big sign in the window that says "sold to ____(insert name)"

I had to order mine to get Electric Blue, the dealership had another one in blue, but not with the S/S/L package I wanted. I read somewhere its a limited edition color but they do exist. And no Electric Blue does not suck.

Right dude, that Blue is the only original color on any of the Evo's. Can't beat that awesome metallic shine.
