EVO "Price and Build" on website?

Are we ever going to see something like a price an build option on the website? I don't see how if Mitsu is trying to appeal to a broad market, and the cars have BEEN released how they could overlook even putting it on their website.

Anyhow, I am in the market for something new with the next few months. Hopefully by then the ECU will have been cracked and some of the bugs will have been worked out.

Get it together Mitsubishi! How can you overlook the few thousaind dollars it costs to market your product on the website? I just don't get it. Some people are completely incompetant, but an entire company??

P.S. I test drove the new TT last weekend. A very nice car, but you can't get quattro and a 6 speed on the 2.0 liter, you have to pony up 6K more for the underwhelming 3.2

In my opinion, they're waiting until the MR comes out to put it up on their website.

(And it doesn't cost a few thousand dollars to market something on a website)

I know! It seems like the most important and most economical advertising you could hope for. Even to redesign and use a combination of flash/html etc etc it should be the first thing they spent money on! Sti has a page - a bad page but still a page.....

BS because there is no date for MR. Its to confuse customers between MSRPs and to sell at high price thats all

This is very unproffesional on Mitsu's account, I absolutely agree. Its the single most cost-effective and far reaching form of marketing they can deliver, yet they still cannot deliver. Unforgiveable i say. Glad their engineering dept is more capable than their marketing dept (at least in the US).

It is funny, I can build a BMW 1 series, preview a G8, even the BMW X6 is on their website, and nothing from Mitsubishi. If youare reading this, get your stuff together, or delete your website! ARR, what is the freaking point!

It's really telling that Edmund's lets you build and price better than the MMNA website. What a bunch of cornhole munchers...
