Obviously the new evo x design is appealing to a broader audience and not just enthusiasts. Some people didn't like that the new evo gained weight and matured but that was an important move for mitsubishi to increase their sales.

If 1 Evo is 100%, then 6 Evos is 600%. If there were 5 Evos sold in November of 07, there were 30 Evos sold in November of 08.

Actually, that's wrong too. Assuming for argument sake that they sold 600 units in Nov 2008, then they must have sold around 86 units in Nov 2007. An increase of 514 units or 600%.

Another reason for Evo sales to go up finally is that the recession has finally forced dealers to lower their outrageous initial pricing. Dealers here are just barely taking off the 4k markup on GSRs and 6.5k markup on MRs.

my point was not in his 600 units to my 1 unit = 600% as you think I meant, but that you cannot have 600% of zero that equals zero.
