To All That Bought a IX MR
i would have gotten an MR last 12/04 that I bought my GSR but my mind was set on the EBlue, so I got the one w/ SSL instead...now, if the MR only comes in EBlue too, that'll be a a no brainer for me

tiny wee bit of oversteer when pushed very hard (I have the Swift MR springs installed too FYI) nothing that cant be corrected. I HIGHLY suggest this piece for MR owners stock springs or Swift MR springs.

Hes right, its not exclusive anymore its a very common color now

I went into a dealership looking for a WW IX w/o SSL and they only had one with SSL. The only cars that didn't have SSL were Black, Red and GG. My mom has taken a liking to the GG but I didn't want it because I believe it to be a MR only color so it didn't feel rite to me. Call me a stubborn person but that's what i felt. White MR were there too but...yeah...back up car. 
If I can get it for invoice or lower I don't think I'll have a problem...but then again "hah! good luck!" rite?
BTW thanks for the replies. Very insightful. Even the OT convos lol

VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVAnd yet people still use it to define the Str8. Even tho the GSR has S-AYC in Japan many reffer to the US spec as a GSR.
The IX GT is minus the Mg Comp house, Ti-turbo (i think?), and Bilstein shox. But it's still the closest to the US spec model. So for the IX, at least, shouldn't it be called the Evolution IX GT? Just wondering.
