eh. i swore not to buy another evo unless it were a full-spec one.... so whatever. though w/mivec and the improved turbo... i'd expect greater potential from this thing with less work. oh well. still hot as hell though.

It looks like I'll get the GSR.
I was going to paint the steering wheel black anyway.

with the black steering wheel it is identical to the one on the Lambo Murcs now, except for the Mits logo. Also i thought it was harder to tune cars with Mivec or alike heads because it is more of a hassel

no mention of the rear diffuser though, that's really dissapointing. Why can't they just give us what we want!

I think that our MR is the GSR of Japan, becuase the jdm gsr is the top of the line model now. They most likely wanted to keep the badge recognition in the US.

Hmmm...does the RS come with a spoiler now? If it's only a 500 premium, I'm going to go and haggle and see what I can get on an VIII and see if it can't be a better deal. I like the gurney flap though. I'm thinking a IX with gurney flap and front air dam.

Oh ya, now we know it's not throttle-by-wire. Does the IX RS come with ABS? It also says the curb wieght of an RS is only 44 lbs lighter than the GSR. So much for "stripped-down." Anyway, I'd like to see the RS options.

Very poor showing by Mitsu. IMHO, it's not deserving of the IX badge. Hopefully they still have something up their sleeve but I doubt it.

By the time Evo 15 comes out, it might have all the goodies but JDM models will probably have tons more.
I do like how they color match the interior a bit better than on the 03/04/05, new Enkeis are nice and new turbo is a +
MIVEC I'm not too crazy about since it's new
All in all, I'm still happy with my 03.
