How many evos will mitsu make or make every year?

Just wondering how many evos will make for this year or will make each year? Also is there a way to know how many have been sold so far?

5600 is the number for this year. Next year, may be slightly more, but it'll always be a limited production car. Last estimates I heard is that over 4000 units have been shipped already, most of which have been sold.

I suspect that the current model year will see the last Evo's arriving around August->September.

Just like they've done oversees? Yea, uh huh, sure.

It's always been a limited production car, and will continue to be. That's the reason that the Evo is in such high demand.

You are very wrong. Not only does Mitsu not make much money off the Evo, they also don't have the capability to mass produce them. All Evo's are made on a slowed assembly line. They will always be limited. Also, the Evo targets a pretty narrow market. I doubt they could sell many more than they are offering here in the US anyway.

Heard that the '04 won't show up until the same time next year as the '03's did this year. No major changes, as far as I heard.
