Mitsu dealer here said I could put a deposit down for the EVO so it must be coming. AWD Lancer for 07 then EVO for 08

 

No that's 08 AWD and 09 Evo

 

I am not holding my breath for Canada... one of these days I want to move back to Calgary, sooner than later... I have a feeling I'll be going to an Sti or something similar when I have to make the final move

 

STis a good car, if you're in Calgary there's a shop in Edmonton that imports skylines, MR2s, and pretty much any other 15 year old cars.

 

Not only it's way too cold up there, you're not allowed to drive a new Evo . Glad I didn't move to Canada when I was deciding where
Hope you guys get it eventually..

 

So could I move to Canada and bring my Evo with me? I heard them Canadian chicks were bangin'

 

No, you cannot bring your car to Canada unless you keep i registered in the US....

ambystom01 where is this shop, I'm heading home for Xmas so I might be up in Edmonton anyways and would like to see what they have there.

 

I think if you came here with a work visa and only stayed for like a year or so you could. Otherwise I'm not too sure.
I know it's off topic but here's some canadian chicks for you, I don't know whether its the weather, the hockey or the beer but we just produce hotties.

 

Here's a link to the shop, http://www.redlineimports.ca/index.htm.

 

A few sales pople in the Toronto are says that the X will be available in Canada in 2008

 

Not quite entirely true.....The legal EVO VIII's that are in canada were either brought across by private individuals and a couple of dealerships that purchased them in the states and imported them through RIV......and there were no games played with registering them as normal lancers, etc( the VIN #'s give it away)....at the time, RIV and transport canada did NOT know the difference between a lancer ES and an EVO (they thought it was a trim level) so 15 of them came across from the states before the mixup was realized. Once approved, the cars could not be removed from Canada. So, that leaves 15 EVO VIII's for us canadians to fight over (i know of a winnepeg EVO 8 that was for sale for 6 months as no one believed the seller that it was legal - that one now resides in Calgary and was bought for $33K canadian). After hearing about that car, i started digging. I got lucky and bought one from Saskatchewan this past March- right place at the right time i geuss.

That winnepeg seller had actually brought across 3 of them, sold two right away back in 2003 and kept one for himself (december 2003). In January 2004, being the lucrative businessman, he apparently bought 5 more in the states and tried to bring them across .......and he could not import them as the RIV/ Transport Canada added the EVO VIII to the infamous list by that time......

 

According to what the ceo's been saying yes. Evo X will be in canada I'm surprised nobody's seen these yet.

Big products in the pipeline
The introduction of an all-new Eclipse sport coupe last year, and its Spyder convertible counterpart this spring, are evidence of Mitsubishi's emotion-stirring products, adding a halo to the brand. And its ten-year warranty speaks to their rationality.

The addition of the Canadian-exclusive Lancer Sportback to the lineup this spring confirms Cummings' understanding of this market, and his ability to make things happen for its benefit. The same is true of pricing for the Spyder, which is based on what's right for this market, not just a currency conversion from U.S. prices.

It is the bread-and-butter vehicles that will arrive next year that will be the foundations of the brand, however. An all-new Outlander compact SUV, just revealed at the New York auto show, will be the first to arrive, early in the year, followed by an all-new Lancer compact in the spring.

Beyond just new, "they are truly significant vehicles," Cummings says. "Both hit the mark perfectly in segments that are expanding and they will present a real opportunity for us to tell our value story - especially the way we will spec them for Canada. They will let Mitsubishi stand on its own two feet."

Even more exciting, in terms of emotional appeal, the Evo X will arrive in Canada in late གྷ as an ང model. "It goes beyond halo," Cummings says. "It's a vehicle you can build a brand around. If there is a world-wide definition of Mitsubishi, it is Evo."

As for other products, he is cautious about importing the Raider pickup, which has not achieved great success in the U.S. "There is a market for pickups, but I'm not sure there is a market for a Mitsubishi pickup," he says.

A sub-compact is another matter. "Absolutely," he says. "It's very much on the front burner. That's where we see an opportunity to bring in new people." Japan is doing certification studies on the Colt, he acknowledges. "If this one is not on their radar screen for sure the next one will be." One benefit of reporting directly to Japan, is the chance to look at the company's whole global portfolio, he says, noting that Mitsubishi sees Canada as a growth opportunity.

 

Did you notice the "Evo X will arrive in Canada in late གྷ as an ང model." Ie they didn't fill in which year?

 

Man.... you have noooo clue.

 

I think if they can pass strict US DOT laws they will pass Canada.
