Tried googling and looking here, and mitsu's site doesn't let you build the X.


All I know that the MR has different is :

13lbs sound deadening
the SST tranny (sketchhy at best - 8k non servicable ? Ugh)



What else and do we have any idea of the base price? I'm trying to figure out if i should pick up a GSR or wait...

 

2 piece rotors, nicer BBS forged rims, Chrome accent around grille, leather Recaros, leather trim, HIDs, some other things I can't think of.
Price: Probably around $37k, nothing officially released yet (I based it off of estimated pricing for GSR at 35k, which dropped to 33k; MR estimated was 39k, so knock 2k off = 37k).

 

Oh, & fast key is standard & so is the huge wing.

 

Eibach Springs and Bilstein struts
2 piece brake rotors
BBS forged alloy rims
larger rear spoiler
chrome accents

 

Its alcantra and leather trim

Stuff mentioned in the last post + fast key, blue tooth, and subtle differences in interior trims

 

MR Adds:

• Twin Clutch Sportronic Shift Transmission (TC-SST) with magnesium steering wheel shifter paddles
• BBS forged alloy wheels
• Bilstein shock absorbers and Eibach springs
• Two-piece brake rotors
• Hands-free Bluetooth cellular phone interface system with voice recognition
• HID headlamps
• Large type rear wing
• Steering wheel audio controls

MR Technology Package adds: Rockford-Fosgate audio system with subwoofer and SIRIUS Satellite Radio with six-month service subscription; 30-gigabyte hard disk drive (HDD) navigation system with 7.5-inch touch screen and music server function; Mitsubishi Multi-Communication System, and the FAST Key™ entry system.

 

Is the Technology Package going to retail for $2,000? I think I remember seeing the GSR's window sticker showing it was this amount. I assume it's going to be the same for the MR. Seems fairly reasonable when comparing to competing brands out there. Nav systems alone typically set you back this much let alone an upgraded audio system, etc.

 

I want my MR.....

 

^ We all do

 

HEATED seats even

 

Interesting that Mitsu does not offer the "go fast" parts (2 piece rotors, bilsteins and eibach springs) on the "hard core" GSR 5 speed? Interesting marketing strategy. I guess we could just buy these parts and retrofit them to the GSR.

 

^ The MR is suppose to be the "cream of the crop," which makes sense for it to get all of the upgrades.

 

Wow, non-servicable? So no matter what happens it's an immediate replacement?

 

When they decide to give us an MR with a regular manual transmission, count me in. I'd prefer a strong 6-speed, but the 5-speed would do. I'd like to see a nice tall OD to keep the R's down on the freeway.

 

i would love to have heated seats in an evo, just my opinion lol
