Not to hijack, but whatever happen to Mitsu jumping model years to introduce changes in the Evo lineup? (08' then 10') I guess they want to try something new?

There will NOT be a 2011 model. Just like they skipped the 2009 model.
Instead they are realeasing the Special Edition in Sept 2010.

I recently ordered a 2011 MR, yes they will still have the touring, and FUSE will be included.

hahahaha that's hilarious. think how i felt when i switched from my '09 lancer GTS to my 2010 evo MR. i can't even go above 4000k RPM (by choice, breaking engine in still) and every time i get in it i get a raging hard on that rips through my pants so it makes it incredibly difficult to steer with my **** in the way. seriously i bought the MR and just went on a small road trip today and the seats are AWESOME! holy crap i love them. i'm not too concerned with the USB input as i'm a professional installer, so i'll be putting in my kenwood dnx 9140 soon enough here which does have one... but got damn it's awesome. i am in love with it already and i've only had it a week

Will there be a 2011 GSR model or just the SE and MR?

There will be 2011 GSR, MR, and SE. Only real changes are the addition of Fuse which is really nice if you want to keep a stock sound system.

there will be a base 2011 MR, almost the same as the SE except no heated seats and you will get the BBS wheels plus fuse. then you add the primium pakage (new for 2011) and you end up an MR just like 2010 model. Touring will be a pakage also. So base+primium+touring gets you the same touring as 2010 plus fuse.

Cool.. I'll call the dealer tomorrow on availability (any idea?).. I should assume all interior and ext style are the same for MR-Touring?
