In Lancaster, CA, my local Mitsu Museum has plenty of X's on the lot. The dealer is not interested regarding the date of arrival for the 09's unless from concern as to where to park them.

Mitsu get your act together. Add a 6 Speed Manual (overdriven 6th) for decent engine speeds/mpg at 80 mph. 3800+ RPM in 5th at 80 mph!!

Good golly, WHY!

There is a Mitsu museum in SoCal? I might check that out. A six speed would be nice if they make it as strong or stronger than the 5 speed.

Things get better over time. If everyone constantly waited for the year, no one would buy anything.
True. But why wait till next year when the evo x concept has been out for years. The ideas were there. But I really dont think all those changes will happen, if it does then i will sell my x or just trade it.

More HP is always good, but I would like to see a 6th gear in the GSR and Octane Blue as an option on the MR. I don't understand why it's not offered on the MR!!

If there are major changes in the 09 I'll pick it up, but if not I'll just pick up an 08 and save money!

My family is from Acton, which isn't too far from there. I wonder if they will drop prices like mad when the 09's hit the lots.

with the 08's barely selling they would be smart to just carry over the 08's so that they can save money and gain more time to work on bigger and better updates for the 2010 models

Stopped by my Mitsu dealer yesterday, asked them about changes for 09 they said none.

Most 09's will be re-released 08's.

5) Upgraded seat materials

7) Additional color choice

I've heard these rumors enough that I backed off buying a loaded GSR two days ago and decided to wait a bit longer. I have a nice Subaru Legacy Turbo to play with for the moment. I'm committed to buying an Evo X, I just want to be miserable if the 2009 model has a significant improvement. If nothing else I'll have the 2009 model which will hold value a bit better.

If this turns out to be true, mitsu will have a sale from me!

And fix the bloody trunk - the battery does not need to be back there.
