Sweet, I like those rims on that car along with the new front bumper.

 

Alright, time for the dreaded question....when do you think it'll get here?

 

as long as it takes for them to strip off all the "cool" features of the it then sell it here

 

Probably Sep-Oct same as the MR last year.

 

How much you think their going to offer it for? Are they going to stop selling the 8 after the 9 is released? Cant want much more than the mr...

 

i like the looks of the suspension level.... all USA Evo's to date have that huge fender gap in the front... that picture doesn't have the horrible gap.. wheels are lighter than the MR wheels too.... that is nice!

 

As soon as it gets here, I'm picking up a black one.

 

ha ha... true dat! I do hope the bumpers are interchangeable with the VIII...

 

Uh oh, now the body kit places are going to have to start figuring out how to make this kit for the regular lancers!!!! Sorry, I'm an ***.

 

Looks like they are. I wonder how much more it'll cost than the 8 considering all the stuff it'll have...I know they will most likely take alot off, but things like the new seats, the wheels, etc.. should add quite some dollar . And look...they even have a short antenna standard now .

 

wonder how long it will take for the bumper to be available in japan? I have a friend there who can probably get one for me. One question though. Will the jdm evo 8 rear bumper fit the US evo 8? has anyone tried it?

 

My guess is that the GT version without the AYC will be the replacement for our evo VIII version. That keeps the same 5 speed and mostly everything else we have now, only adding the turbo upgrades and the MIVEC. I would expect it to stay right around the current pricing.

 

If all the US MRs have been sold (with a ~36k sticker price) Mitsu knows that there is a market for a more "up-scale" version of the Evo. Also given the poor performance of the $ you can bet there's going to be some kind of price hike. I wouldn't be surprised if they make leather standard on the GSR and adopt the 6 speed etc. and drive the price up to around $35k for the "standard" US Evo.

 

Well I hope there will be a power increase to match the price increase. I want 320hp version to be standard here in the states.
