When is Mitsu going to announce actual pricing?
 

I know they want to wait to see what subaru does but are they going to announce actual pricing anytime soon? No I'm not talking about everyone's rumored price range. I'm talking about down to the dollar and what are the costs of options.

Subaru has already announced pricing, so there is not a whole lot of point in holding off any longer. Maybe they don't even know what they want to sell it for? I won't be buying one for quite awhile, if ever, so I can't say I care too much. I want to see how it reacts to mods and see some official performance data before I even think of giving up my IX :D .

Damn it, MMNA should release the numbers already so that I can decided whether to trade in my 8 for the X, trade in my 8 for another car or keep and start modding it. I'm already disappointed with the STI's pricing I hope the X will come in at a reasonable price. Slight OT, looks like the STI camp got shafted with not just the price but also with the engine redline (looks like it only goes to 6700rpm!)

My one buddy is a real STI whore and he feels very betrayed. He was planning on getting the hatch STI (admitting that it was hideous, but didn't care), but then saw the pricing and said no way.

Subaru has gone soft IMO, at least the X is somewhat still hardcore although it could potentially be a porker.

39,999 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So what was the price for the new STI if anyone cares to share :)
(Like base price and fully loaded price)

Base is $35.6k including destination.

With BBS wheels + fog light package is $37.6k

With BBS wheels, fog lights, and navigation systems it is $39.4k

With this pricing I can see the base GSR coming in at $33.5, base MR coming in at $37.5 and the MR with Technology slighlty under $40.

Thanks guys :D

Man, these are big jumps in pricing for both cars considering when the 03 evo came out, it was MSRP'd at $28k and the STI was at $32k. It wasn't uncommon then to get a GSR for under $30k out the door. I think I may be keeping my 8 after all.

On the EVOxforums, a member wrote that He called the dealer and the seller told him that's the prices will be revealed monday morning...


Hope it's true and hope Mitsu Canada will follow in the next days...

i will have the answer to all your pricing questions within the next couple days or so. PM me if you have any questions. i just ordered my evo X inventory and im very sure that everyone here will be pleased with the packages that im ordering them in.

man this sucks...i thought my evo was way too much at 36k....i don't think i'll ever spend that much on a car again.....looks like they are gonna lose a lot of potential customers....gonna become just another rich man's car before too long like a porshe or a ferrari....just like the nissan gtr...i mean really the people that want these cars can't afford them

When are you guys getting the MRs? :D

im getting the MR's the same time i get the GSR.

Are you getting your GSR late for some reason? All Mitsu info points to later release of the MR versions..

LoL I just ordered yesterday still without concrete pricing...

im getting mr and gsr at the same time.

Ok, I was a Suby owner in the past, great cars, but I made the switch to Mitsubishi, greater car, in some areas. I can't see myself paying $40K for the Subi, or a Mitsubishi Evo X. I will keep my Evo8 maybe get an Evo9 becuase of the Mivec. But I've read about the mechanical specs of the new Evo X and I'm not happy. You can have the garbage auto sequential box, that's the only good thing about the car. In conclusion, I will keep my Evo 8, mod it and know that my CASTIRON block will handle the upgrades.

Yeah, you already said that. But are you getting MRs early or your GSR late? Mitsubishi have said the GSR will arrive first, then one or two months later the MR will start arriving..

i am getting 2 of each, at the same time

So there no delay on the MR like what we previously heard?

Its like pulling teeth. Surely, someone can tell us if the MR is arriving at the same time as the first shipment of GSRs..

I was just at the Los Angeles auto show to see the evo x and the mitsu reps said that the mr fully fully loaded would be 37-38k, i dunno though. But that phantom black looks bangin in person.

wtf?

Yea, I bought my IX for $31k out the door. But like everyone is speculating that the new one will be around $40k, then I'm not sure if I will pay that much for another evo.... :crap:

All I got to say if the x is 40k I will get a bmw 135i for 37k with the sport suspension package. Maybe do European delivery and get it for around 35k before tax etc I think it saves 5-7% of the retail price plus one free ticket to Europe through Lufthansa.

My folks did this summer when my pop's got his 335i and they took off 2800 or so on it and paid 40k before taxes etc and paid 1000 for his airline ticket for him and my mom and even got a discount on a hotel through bmw.

Heck with the extra cash it would pay for a good time in Europe I can spend 2k there doing whatever I want come back and then get a lsd and probably chip my car thru Vishnu tuning for maybe for 2500 that's a guess on a lsd plus install being 1500 and if that's correct it would be a wash.

That to me sounds like a better deal plus a vacation to boot and maintance for 4 years it adds up.

Now Im not a evo x hater or anything of the sort honestly if the evo x gsr comes in at say 32k or say even 34k I still would probably get it over the bmw but if it's over 34k Im walking to bmw and ordering European delivery and get a 135 for 35k and going to pick her up in Munich.

Yes I have driven the evo9 may times and the bmw i35 so I have a good idea of how these car's may differ the 135 being slightly more edgy than the 335 and the evo x being more refined than the 9 and I will drive both but if it is within 2k the bmw with 2 extra cylinders and a extra gear to me will be the winner plus it's a rwd car and that is just really fun and yes so is awd I had a 2003 wrx for 3 years and loved it. But if both cars are no more than a 2k variance lb for lb I think the bmw is more car for the buck which is unusual that a premium German car company could be a better overall value than a Japanese value conscious mass market manufacturer

Not sure how the European delivery works, but if they wan't to be paid in Euros you'll be in for a surprise.

The dollar is worth 9% less to the Euro than it was 6 months ago. It might knock out all the benefit of buying in Germany.

if pricing is retarded on the X...ill scoup a 9...u know ppl are trading em in like hotcakes. lol

^shhh!

lol i guess

Finally had time to talk to my local dealer about pre-ordering an X...and I was told that the base MR (no navi) would start at $39,9XX MSRP. He obviously said it was not official from Mitsu, but that the first two numbers are correct and there would be no dealer mark up. He also said the GSR base would be ~$35,9XX MSRP. I hope he was just setting me up for a worst case scenario...

I stopped into my stealership today (well, they're actually alright guys) to buy an oil filter and a bag of crush washers. My sales guy told me that they just ordered a couple X's and they should be in right around the new year. I asked him about pricing and he told me pretty much the same pricing as mentioned above and that it wasn't official yet. If this pricing is legit...ouch!

But, I guess that kinda makes sense. They added a lot of creature comforts which were going to add up. Look at the all-new base Lancer and a fully-optioned Lancer GTS. Much more expensive than the previous model. Only makes sense that the new Evo X would be a few grand more than the IX.

Damn I was hoping I was out to lunch...I guess I will wait for the economy to tank and pick one up in the third quarter of 08 at invoice...Jan delivery for the GSR and Feb delivery for the MR by the way.

Well, it's still not "official" yet...so I guess there is still some hope for the guys that want the X...

gsr 35,9XX where you got that dude? stop giving wrong info please if not sure

^ yea I agree 35k for a gsr no way

Straight from my dealer, not official (as in to the dollar) but where the pricing starts

Dealership never know what they're talking about. I have yet seen a dealership get inside info before us on the net.

I heard the identical pricing from my dealer today. Think about it. It kind of makes sense. Fully-optioned Evo IX MR was over $36K. Add in new goodies like an expensive auto tranny, new AWD system and some required safety additions (airbags are expensive and crash testing them is even more expensive) then throw in some new creature comforts and the new MR should sticker right around $40K and over that with all the options.

Another thing to consider...a fully-optioned 2008 Lancer GTS stickers for close to $23K!!! That's very expensive for a Lancer. In the past the Evo was somewhere between $12-$17K more expensive than the Lancer Ralliart. So, add that $12-$17K to the $23K for the new Lancer and you get a range of $35K-$40K for the Evo X.

I hope my dealer is wrong because that's awfully pricy for an Evo. But, Mitsu is targeting a more affluent customer with the Evo X so that MSRP range may not be an issue for them. So, who knows. I would assume if dealers are starting to tell pricing ranges that official numbers will be released soon. Probably before Thanksgiving since this coming weekend is a big car shopping weekend.

"So I've been calling dealerships around the country to get an EVO X for the new shop car and it seems that most, if not all, EVO X's coming into to dealerships between January and February all have some sort of extra packages on them and that each dealership will only be recieving one X in January and one in February and so on. So I called this Mitsubishi Dealership called Family Mitsubishi in Indianapolis, IN. I asked if they were still taking pre-orders and he (Dave, their EVO guy) said yes. So I asked if he had any idea on the pricing for a base 2008 EVO X GSR in black. He asked his manager and said they are not giving exact prices, but for a base 2008 EVO X GSR in black the msrp will be no less than $30,999 and no more than $31,999! So if you are seriously interested in buying a X I would recommend calling this place and ask for Dave (1-518-698-4736) if you want some solid pricing quotes on which trim levels you want for your X.

Happy shopping,

-Nick-"

Hope it's true so that way this would put down canadian MSRP too...hopefully!!!

Hmmm...not sure what you quoted is trustworthy...only reason I say that is because the GSR will not be available in black...only the MR...seems a little fishy.

But, hey, if that's the real MSRP than that's great news.

I'm gonna throw out a complete guesstimate of $33,775 + destination. :D

i need UPDATES!!!

bump for updates

Good call on the bump.

Anyone else think it is weird that we have known details about the Evo longest out of the big three debuting (Evo, STI, 135) yet Mitsubishi is going to be the last to reveal pricing? I mean we didn't even know what the STI was going to look like officially until the Tokyo auto show while "official" pics of the Evo have been around since summer just about. I am on the list for a X at several dealers but I still don't know how much it is going to cost.

I'm totally making this up...but my guess on why they haven't released pricing yet is that it was much higher than the STI. When Mitsu saw the STI pricing they panicked and are trying to find ways to lower the cost. Problem is, at this point the costs of materials and labor are already set. So, they won't be able to lower the price too much. As I've been saying for 3 months, the pricing will be just short of $34K for base GSR, just short of $40K for base MR and close to $42K for loaded MR.

It keeps us all in suspense and checking the forums/web pages often. If we knew all the facts, there wouldn't be much anticipation and stir about their new car. It's all about marketing.
