should I say manufacturing cost.
But thats not true.. it's the japanese MSRP... which should already including
mark-ups.

Well, he said "yen or not"...

D - It will be all new most likely, it will be a 4G just not a 4G63
E - As with previous evo's, an RS package would likely be offered
All in all though, no one person or group can tell you any definitive answer other than Mitsu themselves so treat the Evo X news you hear as half rumors.

No, I assumed it was MSRP, but you mentioned "mark up", which I interpreted as strictly dealer profit, which is definitely not the case. A little mix up, but I understood what you were saying. I just wanted to make sure everyone else did too.

They should have a true sequential as an option. It should be made by someone other than Mitsubishi like BMW did. If they put a huge order in with Xtrac, Ricardo, Getrag or some other experienced sequential manufacturer they would get a good price and exactly what they desire.
Some will not like it so they can go with the standard H.
I know what you are talking about Johnny I have a size 13 and heel toe is not possible unless you are driving a full size truck.

Mitsu lover from your grammar and English it seems as if you are a well educated young man. I am 17 and, well, you write very good for 14. I agree with your complaint about the new Evolution X, but I am in the market for a IX MR (no help from daddy or mommy so please don't go there). I have always been a big DSM fan, infact the car I learned to drive in was a 5 speed 95 Eclipse GS-T. I have owned an S2000 and SRT-4, both very exciting cars. But if I do end up getting an MR I believe that in 10-15 years the VIII and IX resale will sky rocket, as the Supras is now, because I think from the X on it will be more luxury, and fuel saving, and not race track oriented.
