they I add the extras you can get aftermarket all of those and have 2 grand to add in Powerparts on a GSR. I just can see the SST worth that money.

The aftermarket will always be cheaper for additions, but usually not OEM quality. BMW charges $2,700 as a stand alone option for its SST/DCT transmission.

While I had hoped the MR would be priced a little lower, Mitsubishi stayed true to their word of $38-39K as reported by edmunds.com back in 12/07.

Nothing shocking there.

Some of you guys are still living in 1999 and are way off base about how cheap cars should be.

38k base and 41-42k w/ navi and destination is right where everybody thought it would come in.

The old MR's were 36k w/ no navi, bluetooth, or other tech upgrades.

Every other japanese car w/ 300 hp and all the goodies is 40k. Go look at an Infiniti G35 or an Acura TL Spec A.

Welcome to reality.

But you are comparing that to luxury cars. MR from my understanding is not. What about the dealer markups and such.

I don't think an Acura TL or an Infiniti G35 is a luxury car. Nice, but nothing special.

There's a certain amount of cheapness in any mid 30's price point Japanese car in the interior.

There's no AWD or Recaro seats in an 39k Acura TL w/ navigation. A twin clutch tranny is far more expensive to build than a regular automatic.

MR pricing is right where it should be.

You are also luxury is debatable, but they are fwd pieces of garbage in the performance department. Without a snowballs chance in hell of keeping up with an evo in a turn. The evo is made to preform not pamper your ***. This is actually less than I was expecting to pay so I'm happy!

Right where I expected it to be. I think I'm going to be a Ralliart owner.

Oh, I get it. Some accountant told the execs they need to recoup the cost on the first four cars sold so voila they added $6K to the price of the GSR. Seems like a good deal.

Mitsu is blowing it on the price.

wow, part of me was actually considering purchasing a MR... only because I might be moving to Philly and I don't wanna deal with shifting in traffic and in-city driving... but for that price, I'd rather spend my time shifting and having fun with the pedals than pay that premium...

are you serious? you paid 41k for a fully loaded GSR? damn man... I'm so glad the dealerships around me are dropping their prices... I can get a base GSR for only $30,000 and fully loaded, for like $33,000...
