bump for updates

 

Good call on the bump.

Anyone else think it is weird that we have known details about the Evo longest out of the big three debuting (Evo, STI, 135) yet Mitsubishi is going to be the last to reveal pricing? I mean we didn't even know what the STI was going to look like officially until the Tokyo auto show while "official" pics of the Evo have been around since summer just about. I am on the list for a X at several dealers but I still don't know how much it is going to cost.

 

I'm totally making this up...but my guess on why they haven't released pricing yet is that it was much higher than the STI. When Mitsu saw the STI pricing they panicked and are trying to find ways to lower the cost. Problem is, at this point the costs of materials and labor are already set. So, they won't be able to lower the price too much. As I've been saying for 3 months, the pricing will be just short of $34K for base GSR, just short of $40K for base MR and close to $42K for loaded MR.

 

It keeps us all in suspense and checking the forums/web pages often. If we knew all the facts, there wouldn't be much anticipation and stir about their new car. It's all about marketing.
