WSJ article
Does anybody have the article from the Wall Street Journal?
Look slike more and more Mitsubishi is going to milk the Evo in the U.S. since there is sooo many people in these forums who want them.
It sucks that it may come out as a luxury/sports car, competing again 30,000 to 40,000 $$$ cars...

This was in the daily auto news today:
Americans will soon be able to buy some high-performance Japanese cars that have not been previously sold outside the country, The Wall Street Journal reported.
Although Japanese auto makers have been building such limited production models for years, they didn't think there was enough demand in the U.S. to justify the expense of reconfiguring them to meet U.S. safety and emissions standards, the WSJ reported.
But the success of the 227-horsepower Subaru Impreza WRX, which went on sale in the U.S. a year ago at prices starting at about $24,000, has changed the thinking of some Japanese manufacturers.
Among the hot numbers on the way to the U.S.A, are the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, a rally-inspired sports sedan the company hasn't offered in the U.S.
Mitsubishi plans to introduce the Lancer Evolution VII in the U.S. next spring for what the company says will be "less than $30,000."
Also coming in the future are the 260-horsepower Subaru WRX STi, the rotary-engine-powered Mazda RX-8 and a new version of one of Japan's "most-legendary" sports cars, the Nissan Skyline GTR. The $40,000 GTR has never been sold in the U.S., the WSJ noted, but in Japan, it is as "well-known among car buffs as the Chevrolet Corvette is to American motor heads."
Japanese car makers have two goals in bringing these "hot rods" to the U.S., the WSJ said. First, to make money, but they also hope the models will give their overall brands a sportier image to attract young buyers.
