Wait a minute somebody must have miss clicked it says somebody is actually waiting for one of these? If so why would you get one of these over the 2015's still out there?

 

The lack Recaros really kills it for me.

 

I think I am able to get one but at my 2nd color choice. The only issue now is, what is the MSRP? If it's in the 40's that would be close enough to consider the Focus RS, M2, RS3, or Golf R 400.

I'm thinking $37k as my best guess. If I do buy one this will be my first Evo X since I had the Evo 8, Evo 8.5, and Evo 9. After so many cars the evo is one of my favorite cars.

 

I got a build date 9/15. Anyone else?

If it's actually cost more than anticipated I may go BMW M2. We will see.

 

Does it still not have Recaros??

 

I hear the US version does not. You may consider order a Final Edition from Canada though, which comes with Recaros. Then you can import it to the US.

 

Dealership near me is getting 10 of them and another order of them after that.

 

The Final Edition Evo X already came out it's called the 2015 Subaru WRX STi. lol jk

 

I have nothing against them, except that I think in this age when everything goes after big horsepower, Subaru would be better off offering an STI with 450~500 hp with an improved engine.

 

I think if they bring over the S207 with 350hp to compete against the Focus RS would be interesting.

I like the evo's build quality "powertrain" wise and Forged Aluminum arm and etc. My previous Special Edition STI I got rid that that thing fast. Steel arms, steel hood. and many cut cost parts and an engine that floats in RPM under WOT JUNK and bad factory tuning!!

 

Special Editions, or "Final Edition" are typically parts bin editions, a way for a manufacture to dump off various assembly line spare and repair parts bins into a final run of a particular model. Honda does a good job of it with Accords, Toyota does, Subaru has done it, and it looks like it's the same here, with a few MR bits here, GSR bits there, and add some "custom" color or interior stitching and you have yourself a marketing gimmick that sells.

I work in an industry that does this all the time we upgrade or move onto a new model, "Block" or "dash", take what's left over and what most likely be obsolete, and piece a final edition together.

 

I wish they'd save those parts for people that already have an evo and need a stock part

 

True, but he sodium valves are brand new. They probably ran out of BBS wheels from the 1000 JDM version. I wanted a manual with bilisteins and now i have a chance. I'm thinking this, Golf R, Focus RS or maybe GLA45 as my winter ride .

 

There would be no reason to get the final edition X over the other 3 you mentioned. It's too far behind now.

 

Their is actually one big reason. It is steering "feel". All the EPS does not have feel and the best one so far is from Porsche.
