I believe that only Japan gets the RS version of the X. None for U.S. ....at least I think so. Correct me if I'm wrong.

they said that about the evo 8's at first also! so i wouldnt say they wont! there is always a niche for a base, race ready evo! just go to an auto x event or most of the shop evos that are customized.. they are usually RS's

When I first looked at the title I thought..."I see RSXs every day" .


But...I wouldn't say that we aren't getting them for sure. I think if there is enough interest and if sales get better (in Nor Cal at least), they may bring a small number of them over.

^And there never will be so long as the Lancer Ralliart assumes the $30k fully loaded spot.

Like everyone else is saying there not sending any our way

Why not just look at getting into a new lancer ralliart or a VIII or IX RS? Depends on what your plans are for the car, I drive an RS and I'll be honest there is no luxury at all with the car there isnt even an armrest so if you just wanna be wingless then take the wing off

its because of the ralliart. They dont want to cannibalize sales by havng too much overlap price wise

OEM Politics FTL! I think it would have been a good seller! As stated the EVO 8 and 9 did well.

it is a really sad news for me. I think the RS line holds the most value.
If they decide to bring it here i will have one for sure.
