Do I think the MR @ > $40k is overpriced? Sure. But if it's 41.5 vs. 40.5k will it deter people? Not the ones that are serious about it.
in canada, where i live, the mr is the same price as the 335xi. you see what i'm saying?

however mr. average joe 350Z luvin dude who isnt even thinkin about buying a mitsu for 40K that anybody hardly knows and gets less attention than other cars, will not buy it at 41 K either. or at 32k (GSR) for that matter.

i think its better, less of us around
Less is bad for a company trying to make money and build its dying brand.

Will the 09 in america have any of these updates?

Im in the market for an Evo now, but would rather wait for an 09 if it's going to get updated.

+1

Especially if the power numbers are going up, even if the increase is a slight as it is being reported here (295 hp, 311lb. torque). Every little bit is appreciated, especially for those considering to buy a 41K MR.

Bah...

- autowiper: I freaking hate these... wife had them on the last car and they come on at the most inopportune times
- autolights: meh, I wouldn't pay for them
- cup holder cover: I never close it on the cars I've had with it, so I cold care less. One less part to break.


You know what I miss the most about past cars?
- telescoping wheel
- seats that move up and down
- headlights that turn with the steering wheel
- autodimming rear mirror (with homelink)

With the pricing and financing available right now on the 08's, 0% apr for 5 year and my dealership has 3 grand off msrp too, you'd be crazy to wait for the 09. Go get an 08, they are just as good unless you really really really really want the very few editions.

If you are going to wait, wait for the 2010 models, usually every two years you get some really good stuff.

I could give a crap about a moonroof... Our roofs are aluminum. Putting glass up there would require steel and make the car even more top heavy. Also it could cut the headroom.

Leave the the suncracks for the canadians and british.
