Hey guys, im in the market for an Evolution. Was wondering if it would be wiser to wait for the 2012 model, and how long of a wait that might be. Also, any upcoming changes would be appreciated as well.

Also, if I do end up waiting, and there aren't any significant changes, what kind of price drops might we expect for 2011 GSRs still on lot?

 

i heard that the 2011's are gonna be the last evo model. And then there gonna make hybrid evos? idk haha

 

Supposedly the current body will continue till 2013, but this can be discussed in the "Future/New Evo Section"

and new models for the next year general come out during the last quarter of the year... so after october.

 

Buy now price will only go up, infact buy 2 and stick one in a garage. I predict there price will hold like supra when they are stopped

 

This could be very true depending on the future evo model. If the evo XI is a total bust from a performance standpoint, then the evo X's will def become the new supra.

If it turns out the new evo is is truely an evo, but with 300 lbs of torque available at zero rpm with s-awc and infinity mpg, then you can expect the evo X to devalue just as much as previous evo's. Maybe even more.

i highly doubt the new evo will suck that bad though. Its hard to make an ill performing car when it has S-awc. The second most advanced awd system in the world, next to nissan's ATTESA

 

One way to go about this is... buy a 2011 in the next couple of months before the 2012 hits the lots. You will be able to negotiate a pretty good price as they will want to push them to make room for the 2012s.

 

If Mitsu changes the name (word on the street is that they are planning a new name) is all that we need for the Evo to hold its value and then creep up slowly in a few years

 

I strongly believe it will

 

^ pipe dreams guys ^ call every dealer in your area and get pricing on the car/options. tell them x dealer said this and that. then go down and work some more. Not a lot of room to move on a car that just hit the lot. They are motivated to sell old stock since they borrowed $ on those cars and are paying interest on a car sitting on the lot.

 

I read they were doing away with the evo completely and hadn't released if there would be a "hybrid" version. Has this changed? I know they said something about having a full line of hybrids by 2014?

 

LOL, I'd buy two... only if I had that kind of cash. But then again, I wouldn't mind waiting to see what the hybrids will look and feel like behind the wheel.

 

Did you hear what the new name might be?

 

i agree, i think these evo 10"s are only going to go up in value, whos going to want a hybrid evo unless really can perform just aas well if not better. the hole reason i finally man-ed up and decided to spend the money on the car is cause i kno this car will be an investment one day, supras sell for double the value they were brand new. im hoping the same happens with these evos.

 

supras sell for 20-30... slightly less than new. I have yet to see any stock supras sell for 60k lol. Keep the dream alive though...

 

no idea... it was Road & Track... but I don't know whether to believe their BS
