is the IX MR a limited edition because i read a lot of people reffering to it as a limited edition and im l

 

I dont thinks a "limited" edition.. its more or less a special edition.... maybe.......

 

No, the IX MR is not, but the VIII MR is...

 

Is that because they dont make the VIII MR anymore?

 

No, it's because there is no real IX MR. It's just a name Mitsu used in the US for marketing. The VIII MR is a limited edition that only had 1200 units made WORLDWIDE. 1000 of those were in the US. There is no real IX MR (no JDM version), so it is not considered a limited production vehicle. I do not know the # of IX MRs made, though.

 

When I went to purchase my EVO 9 MR at Gillman Mitsubishi, it had a window sticker stating a production of only 1500. So, I knew right there and then I would have to get one. LOL,ha, ha.....

 

There are way more 9 MRs in production than that the second the came out with the GG IX, the MR lost its "UNIQUE" look GG should be for the 2005 MR and thats it IMO!!!

 

All EVO IX in the world except the ones in the US have aluminum roofs and all the MR stuff are optional on the EVO IX's.

 

The MR just a trim level now. Like honda with their DX, LX, and EX's.

 

Where you getting this info? UK/IR/NZ/etc and JP only had 200 evo 8 MRs avail?

btw the MRs in the UK are a tad different then the USDM MRs.

 

I don't remember. Go search around on EvoMR. Not sure if the FQs count in that number or not.

 

So the rest of the world only gets 200 MR's? That isn't right. Every FQ model sold in the UK since 2005 was an MR.

 

There are no MR's for the UK for 2006 there maybe FQ's but they are not MR's. The MR designation was only for the year 2005. All the parts that made the EVO a MR is available as an option for 2006 and the aluminum roof is standard everywhere but the US.

 

i honestly think at least in the south florida area the MR is just as abundant as the regular gsr. i do recall looking for an MR just to check it out when i bought my gsr. and i couldnt find not one this was last year March. but the 9 Mr i see those ALL the time.

 

Man, I just said that I don't know if the FQs are included in that 1200 number that was published. Damn.
