To the people in the forum. Mitsubishi has been bailed out twice from bankruptcy by reishuing stock. They were just bailed out again for 4.5 BILLION dollars for the second time. Keep your eyes open and read the news. It is sad because they make a great car.

Funny things is, I heard the same thing from the service manager at my dealership. The bulk of the warranty costs are supposedly from the EVOs but I didn't hear the other stuff ... could be true, business guys are always doing a cost benefit analysis... its all a number game to them ....

Since they are not going to discontinue the Evo anytime soon, I hope someone builds a car that can compete with the production model. I am getting tired of seeing my car in all the magazines.
They got the awd 2.0L Outlander in Japan. If u know someone who can navigate the mitsu site in japanese u can get the details. Or u can just use a page decoder thing.

parts availability are the corner stone of any good street car

Take for instance the Getrag out of the 3000GT....good luck getting parts for it if it goes....hence fewer ive been seeing in the track (from what I am remebering 5yrs ago to now) On the flipside, look and Honda...they cross reference many parts and the parts chain is long and fruitfull. Just my opinion.......Oh well, I still love my Evo. [/QUOTE]


good thing we have the 4G63 and its been around for years
