Off topic a little bit... does anyone know if a IX SE is more limited than a MR? I believe the RS is the most least produced. But I'm not sure what's after that.

 

Unfortunately, we don't have this data. Like you said, the RS is the least common, followed by the SSL, then the IX (what we call the GSR on the forums), and then the MR as the most common IX. The SE/AP cars, sometimes referred to as the 9.5s, were very similar to what was offered in the rest of the world as the 2007 Evolution.

 

Officially, the model that you have is called the MR with the Appearance Package. People unofficially refer to it as the MR SE, since it has the visual upgrades that the non-MR SE has (i.e. Diamond Black BBS wheels, bigger front lip, red interior stitching). FJF is right in saying that no IX MR SE officially exists, but like I said, people refer to it as that and we all know what they're talking about, plus it's easier to just call it that than saying "MR with the Appearance Package" every time.

But like I said, people refer to the non-RS, non-MR, non-SE Evos as "GSRs," even though that term doesn't exist here officially either. But like before, it's sometimes easier so people can specify that it's an VIII or IX that is not an RS, MR, SE, etc. I refuse to refer to it as a GSR though, especially since the real GSRs (which were only labeled as such overseas) were actually a lot more like our MRs since they had the six-speed and aluminum roof.

No biggie though, we all obviously know what people are talking about when they say GSR or MR SE.

Someone has posted the official U.S. production numbers (though it doesn't isolate the SE models in the break down), and I thought that there were more MRs than regular IXs (non-RS and non-MR). I'll look for it later.

 

Looks good!

You should make it out to MOD in July!
