EVO sales number from Mitsu Corp

You believed STi is a limited production vehicle?? If a car is available as demand is still there, that should not be considered as a limited production model. Limited production model should be something like a Carrera GT, Enzo, 959, GT3, etc.

By the way, here is the sales number from Mitsu Corp up to July 04.

SOA claims they sold 7500 2004 MY STi's. I can believe it as I see maybe 1 EVO in a months time that I haven't seen before.

With the 2005 STi comming early in the year again, they might sell 7,500 again although it looks like production is more limited at the 05 launch.

All depends on where you live, and really just because you happend to see 3 STIs in one day and no EVOs, doesn't automatically mean STI sell better. This thread is complete BS, you want to know which one sells better, visit both of the manufactuers sites and get your answers there.

In Colorado, AKA the Subaru capital of the world, I see 2 or 3 STIs every day. I see an Evo about once a week.

BTW, whether you are on a waiting list or not has absolutely nothing to do with the absolute number produced or if it is a limited production, but instead the number produced in relation to demand.

Wah huh? I wanna live in Ann Arbor. I think I've seen, or know most evo's round me. Only about five or six I know of here.

STI's, I see at least one or two a day on the freeway, WRX's everywhere all the time.

Evo's are pretty rare in Washington, but STI's I see on a daily basis. WRX's definately flood the streets though. My opinion is that there where many more STI sold than EVO. All the EVO's are in Florida I think.

Both EVO's and STi's are classified on paper as "limited production vehicles." I think more 03 EVO's were made than 04 STI's. I don't have anything on sales figures though.

numbers are numbers. you right, we can alwayz track the amount of cars sold. but

hearing other people experience in their own town is not a BS. if you don't have

somethin to add to the thread, don't say anything.

I don't know if this will help or not. I got this information from Automotive news. If you are in the automotive industry you read automotive news. I went on their web site and used a password to get in. They state that through July Mitsu has sold 30,618 Lancers and Subaru has sold 18, 284 Impreza's. They didn't give an actual number of Evo's or Sti in those numbers. I understand also that the lancer is less expensive than an Impreza and will probably have higher sales just based on cost.

Evo sales figures vs. STi figures

I don't know how ture the numbers are but this is what my understanding is.
See http://media.mitsubishicars.com/deta...57691&mime=ASC for the Mitsu sales numbers..

Knee-jerk observation is that the Evo is selling about the same as the STi, if 2300 units is accurate from the NASIOC boards. Personal observation - I see LOTS more STis around here in the SF Bay Area than Evos..

Local dealership here has way more leather-recaroed Evos in stock than normal cloth.. blech.
