I hope the MR makes it to the US. We've been negelected for too long by the Japanese manufacturers - saving all the special edition cars for themselves and Europe.
If the MR makes it here, I'm expecting all the suspension upgrades, lighter body, nicer wheels, better looking lights, a front diff and maybe, just maybe the six speed. A flatter torque curve would be nice too. Hopefully
would give us all of those and price it between the STi and the Evo 
Highly doubt any new Evos would make it to the US with Super AYC and ACD - electronic diffs suck anyways

That is the most gorgeous Evo I have ever seen!!! 
VERY nice color. i hope they don't bring it over cause then i'll be looking down on my car.
the only thing i would want is the AYC and the ACD... the other stuff i can get later (and most likely better then the stuff they put on there). and um, yeah... i guess if they retune the engine i would like that as well.

I noticed that as well. I think that it is a new full carbon fiber wing, sides as well as the middle section.

The US Evo VIII has a full carbon wing also. It's just that the side pieces are painted carbon. Look very closely at the paint surface. You can see the weave texture of the cf.
