After reading the Sports Compact Car article posted, i realised that there will be an Evo 9 MR. However, i went to check the offical press release out, and they said that the only versions would be the GT, RS and GSR. Anyone know whats going on? U guys have any offical releases from Mitsu stating that there will be an MR version of the Evo 9?

 

Well, US EVO 9 model will be RS, GSR, and MR ... its the same as RS, GT, and GSR in Japan.

 

So the GT version would be the MR in the US?

 

no. the gt version is the US version gsr, and the gsr is the US version mr

 

The way I understand it is... JDM - RS, GT, GSR
USDM - RS, GSR, MR

I could be way off, but that's what I understand.

 

Then whats the GSR version of the US? The RS version of Jap?

 

this is why most industries have standards... to avoid confusion. bah. I want an "Evo IX LKSEJFOSIDFOSNFLSKUEIFNWLFRN"

 

Yes, you're right.

 

GT version of Jap

 

japan rs = us rs
japan gt = us gsr
japan gsr = us mr

i think i got it right

 

 

USDM Evo IX trims- RS, straight IX and MR.

 

Wait so let me get this right again

JDM RS - USDM RS
JDM GT - USDM GSR ( Straight )
JDM GSR - USDM MR

?

 

Yes^^

 

correct
