Their sales suck because dealers are charging insane markups. I think its Mitsu's fault and hope they learn.
On the flip side Im glad when my X gets here there wont be too many others on the road. I have yet to spot my first X and I drive a little over 2 hours a day.

1. MItsu brans sucks in public perception
2. Economy is bad
3. EVO is priced to high hence there are more "respected brands" stealing sales folks who can afford a car over 35K are looking at BMW, infinity, etc
4. Many tuners were expecting a bigger performance jump for 9 to 10...
5. EVO looks to much like the econo box lancer which is seen as a POS
6. As the rich get richer and the poor get poorer cars like the EVO have a harder time selling themselves to the shrinking middle class.

My local Mitsubishi Museum (in Lancaster, CA) has 5 Evo X's for your viewing pleasure. So far, I think they've sold one.
It didn't help that the dealership closed about two years ago and has recently re-opened.

Mitsubishi Museum - That is brilliant! Same here in Knoxville, Tennessee. They are completely content to let you come in the showroom, look at them, admire the 3-4k worth of meaningless post-MSRP dealer fees, then let you walk right back out the door. And I'm a previous customer who bought a new 2003 Evo 8 from them. They weren't even remotely interested in talking with me. It's beyond stupid.

not to be off-topic or anything but could you please tell me what "tuners" are you referring too that has actually worked with the 10 that expected more of a jump between it and the 9

I am doctor and purchased an evo X. I ditched bmw,infinity etc, because they are too many on the road. Evo is unique and agile like none other. if you drive it you know what it is?

They said they get a ton more interest in the ralliart which they don't know anything about....
Next time I go in there I'm going to ask about a test drive LOL, should go over well.
