+1 ! You are so right! Damn it...They have low sales because they haven't put any development in a future Evo! The X hasn't changed since 2008! Yeah, they should...

 

With the production of the X ending, will this make it even more expensive to replace an ACD pump 2 or 3 years down the road?

Should I stock up on them now? Will ACD pumps become a new form of currency worth more than gold?

 

Ah come on, why does it have to always be a dick sucking contest with Subaru? The Evo has always been in front and just imagine what is all in store for us, mitsu is going to raise the bar so high that Subaru will be left in the dark ages.

Mitsubishi is like "hold this crown whilst I wind up this round house from hell...."

 

Wouldn't an S3 be a downgrade? I mean S4/S5 maaaayyybe... RS4 or better for sure!

 

Sad to see the Evolution go, but the X has been long overdue to end its cycle. 7 to 8 years is quite a long time for a platform. Its amazing how well its held up over the years.

If they do decide on a new platform and its a hybrid hippie rice rocket , I plan to stay away unless it has a turbo or two in there.

In the mean time, I will keep mine as long as reasonably possible and switch back to Subaru like I did several years ago if need be. Glad the X holds its resale value well. This should all be good news for those of us who plan to hold onto our cars a while longer. Personally I hope they end it at the 2014 model year and do not extend it into the 2015 model year.

 

Just more confirmation that the car world is heading into another dark ages like the 70's and 80's. Goin to look at getting a X here soon and not miss out like I did back in the day with the Supra.

 

what happened in the 70s and 80s?

 

Emissions (cat converters, egr, etc), and fuel injection becoming mainstream. It took car manufactures and aftermarket companies 2 decades to finally get them on par with carburetors.

Now fuel injection is light years ahead.

Just look at the Mustangs and Camaro specs of the late 70's and all of the 80's. I don't even think they broke 200hp. Plus the fact that big blocks went bye bye, and 305ci engines were standard.

 

yea well, another 20 years flew by and our cars arent even breaking 300hp stock

 

With one third of the displacement and infinitely more headroom (80 HP through tuning and minor bolt ons)? I'd call that serious progress.

 

Wow...I'm going to pay off my X, and go buy another IX.

Keep both my X and IX minty and let them collect rarity.

 

They just made it better every year. Like little fixes, cmc, fuel pump relay etc. As I learned lately.

 

Good luck finding a mint IX

 

Did it once, I can do it again.

 

I've actually seen a couple in the mileage threads. People stashing them away like a $100k car. I can only imagine the price tag. Some of us would pretty much never sell.
