Since the X's are not selling like they should would this have a negative effect on the resale value of the car in years or months to come?

 

300 lbs is a big deal. Don't you remember the MR went so far as using an aluminum roof just to drop a little weight. When you drive on the track or auto X you can really feel the weight of the car and also works the tires harder If you are not into this kind of thing 300lbs or any weight would not matter.

Everyone has there opinons so why are some people here so sensitive? Back in the Evo VI days on this forum, we were upset that the evo went up from 2800lbs to 3200lbs. It seems like a different crowd now?

I'm just saying if offers more bang for $ sales would be better. Lets stop the debates are respect each other opinions.

 

I don't currently track or auto-x. I forsee myself getting into this though, (one of the reasons why I want an EVO to begin with). I have nothing against you, I was just curious to your reasoning.

And I think everyone would agree that if any car manufacturer offered more bang for the buck sales would be better.

 

This is proof that the X's are no where near the 9s or 8s i disdain the X so much >=(

 

I wouldn't really go that far and draw that type of conclusion from this sales data. The VIII and the IX sold at a very similar monthly sales rate over the past few years. But, the VIII did sell far better when it was first launched. So, the X is definitely a little slow coming out of the gates.

 

Yeah, because our economy hasn't taken a sh*t in the past year+ and the every other car manufacturer's sales aren't down

 

well for the 8s it was the first gen to launch in america so it had so much hype....

 

i dnt think its the hype SO MUCH as what macPSU said, the economys jus crap and NOONES really buying cept for hybrids n higher mpg cars

 

Is a bit of everything the economy is not doing good??? I dont know how, i really dont understand why people just stop buying but oh well. And oil prices are scaring everyone. Im sure people look at the price of the car combine with the MPG on the sticker and that it requires Premium fuel and some just dont know the real car, just look at those numbers.

I just bought mine today and couldn't be happier.

 

lol btw ur sig..............sounds a lot like rape to me lol

 

I was at the MOD (Mitsu Owners Day) Today and the turnout was less than last year. I have attended three years in a row. This time it was the least festive.

Rumors are flying about incentives coming for the Evo X. Again, these are just RUMORS. But that is the talk I heard at MOD.

Things are really bad when the announcer doing the raffle urges the crowd to tell the friends and family to go out and buy Mitsus.

Mitsu is in big trouble. The Lancer is NOT on par with other gas savers like the Fit, Corrolla, Civic, etc..., the Gallant is aged, few people want to buy CUVs and those who do will pick the RAV4, CRV, or Forester over the Outlander. Mitsu needs an EXCELLENT sub-compact car FAST.

 

They need to sell the "i" here. Excellent small car and sells in droves overseas.

 

I wonder what the July numbers will be.

I hate to see mitsu struggle I think a very smart idea for them would be to bring over the "i" or some other super small "euro" car, we dont have any and someone needs to man up and do it. I bet once people see a 50MPG sticker the word will spread....

 

Well, here in socal, it looks like incentives are OUT!!!!

3 year 2.9%
4 year 2.9%
5 year 4.9%

according to Southcoast Mitsubishi. Now add THAT to the GREAT price already... and you've got yourself a damn good price!

In addition, they just announced a LEASE for the EVO X... .thats a first.
