starting to think myself to just get the GSR if I want one, I got a great price on an 05 STI tho...

 

IMO, the only EVO worth trading an 03 in for is the MR.

 

Just do it then

 

hehe.. I'm more money conscious than some people here and don't think the trade-in is worth the money. The EVO IX is going to incorporate all the features of the MR anyway and add a few more probably. You can't always have the latest and greatest unless you have really deep pockets. I'm happy w/ my 03.

 

when is the 9 really due in US and how much will we get shafted?

 

you know, both 4 and 9 are unlucky numbers in Japan because they are related to death. 8 on the other hand is a very lucky number in chinese (and maybe japanese too), so you're better off getting an Evo 8
