Congrats on the purchase, and be careful. Red is a beautiful color for the MR. Probably my second favorite color.

We will post pics tomorrow as AJ(il2az) is gonna take some pictures.........on another note I am mad that us viii owners didnt get the nice interior that ix offers it is sooo much nicer and actually has more cushion than ours does..but i also think there are downfalls....ie dont like the wing bein painted on the inside rather have carbon fiber...

How's the suspension compared to the VIII? Is the ride substantially softer, or just a tid bit??

Good going on getting the MR for the girl/wifey!

Really? I could of sworn I read somewhere that it isn't CF anymore. Somebody on this forum said somewhere that mitsubishi was trying to cut down on CF, to cut cost or something like that. Correct me if I am wrong just something I read.
