I know I've seen people saying that they'll be in the US in spring of 2007, but he denied that it would be that early. Then he tried talking me into the IX MR on his lot. (Tempting!!!) I'm gonna wait though.

What I find really ironic is alot of these VWs are sold as "German made/engineered" and they are freakin made in Mexico(the Jetta/Beetle/etc)

I started this thread, but check this out!!
Get this!!
My dealer's trying very hard to move his 2006 IX MR. He gave me a great deal that I absolutely couldn't refuse. I wasn't trying to buy a IX, but he set me up on a 2006 IX MR. I just signed a 2 year lease with 0 down, option to buy at the end for $450/mth. My plan is to trade my Audi A3 in when the X is available, and get a X. The coolest thing is that my wife wants the IX when we get rid of the A3.
MAIN POINT:: GREAT TIME TO DEAL FOR 2006 IX's !!
BTW: For anyone who hasn't driven a DSG transmission, IT %$^@&* ROCKS. I just leased a manual and love it, but the DSG in my A3 is all that they say it is. The DSG version of the A3 and GTI is faster than the manuals.

Toyota Camry has almost 300hp.
Nowadays, 300hp is for family sedans.
Hey Mitsu wake up and put some good stuff like, VTG, V. intake manifold, 2.3L, variable intake and exhaust camshafts [timing and lift] etc...
370hp would be enough to start.

Soon Volkswagen won't be the only automaker with a dual-clutch transmission on the market. Word from British auto mag CAR is that Mitsubishi will fit its upcoming EVO X super sedan with a similar six-speed transmission that employs two clutches. The transmission simultaneously allows one clutch to engage and another to disengage making for faster and smoother shifts than normal sequential gear boxes. VW's Direct-Shift Gearbox (DSG) has been on the market since 2002 and some believed the automaker would hold a monopoly on this type of transmission for some time since it developed the technology completely in-house. Any rival gearbox will probably run the risk of stepping on a few of VW patents, but CAR reports that Mitsubishi likely tapped an outside supplier to develop its version. Mitsubishi's six-speed dual-clutch transmission will also need to be one beefy piece of hardware in order to handle the supposed 300+ horsepower the EVO X is expected to generate. A traditional six-speed transmission will also be offered with the car for traditionalists.
they have everything the evo X has except the HP, only 210.
