The only mitsubishi's that come close to catching my attention is the evo and the eclipse (owned a 2g gst - first car). All other mitsubishi's look like i pooped it out. I liked the concept RA and sucks they never even released it.

What will you buy after your evo? FROM MITSU after the lack of compassion for the evo community?

wth the eclipses only come with sporttronic bulljob. guessing paddle shifter

-belay my last on the eclipses

 

Nothing!

 

Keeping my IX forever, hehe

 

I was going to say the same thing. Honestlly no mitsubishis besides the evo have done any thing for me since 99. :'(

 

ditto

 

wth is mitsubishi thinking if they end it. I was waiting for supposed 2013 release for the hybrid xi. I guess that may be annexed!

 

Gotta agree with you guys mitsubishi is going to lose a lot by discontinuing the evolution line. They got some feedback from the eclipse community but the majority of their feedback came from the evo followers. From the looks of it they are going to lose touch with their customer base and wit how poor their marketing team is I don't see them boosting any sales across their entire lineup.

 

btw, glad to see i'm not alone on my feelings towards mitsubishi over this. slap in the face to the evo. atleast subbies are moving forward.

 

I'm keeping my eyes on the FT86 concept which is a tandem subie/toyota fling. Its not AWD but if i need that i'll hunt a porsche or GTR for the next play toy.

 

Agreed, will definately step up to a gtr after this. I refuse to go to the subie side lol. Cobb in town swears by the gtr's and I'm pretty impressed with what they've done with theirs. Can't really justify the 911 turbo for the extra $50k on top of the gtr lol.

 

So explain to me how someone is going to go from a $20k-$30k car to an $80k car (gtr)?

If you had that kind of money you would have bought one in the 1st place or you going to wait 10yrs till they are down to the price of a used EVO?

 

Just started my engineering career this last year and got a side company started up in my off time. Fresh graduate lol.

 

time to start saving a gtr r34

 

I wouldn't say its quite that astonishing of a jump though special considerations for insurance need to be considered. If you wait for oh about 3-4years or so the GTR depreciates down into the 50kish range depending on millage. I figure if i wait a little longer it will be in the high 40's for a little older of a GTR.

 

But considering that the cost of ownership is no where near that of an EVO, I wouldn't be in a rush to own one unless you have a good job.

A used corvette or porsche offers as much enjoyment at a fraction of the cost. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to own one but I'm a little too practical. The idea of a year salary going to pay for the car seems too steep.
