I thought it was between 5000-7500

LoL 300,000 that's just crazy.............. They didn't even make that many regular Lancers....

4500 for the initial release.

As for the other number, Mitsu sold approximately 364,000 cars
in the U.S last year, up 7% from the prior year. (Or was it 346K?)

That's about how many Accords Honda sells, a little less actually.

I recall reading an article that claimed they plan on "ramping" up to about 10,000 for the US by the end of the year, but initially availability will be low (4500). But what do I know, I'm just a regular enthusiast waiting for an EVO to park in my garage.

it would be hard to bring 300,000 evo's in sold just over 300,000 cars and trucks last year. I hope they keep the production limited it will keep the resale value high and give an exclusive product.

he said they EXPECT to sell 4500ish...that normally means they will build and bring atleast that many but they will build more and bring more if their is a demand for them
