The GSR trim level is offered in a lineup of five body colors designed to strongly project a functionally aesthetic image and including a vividly sporty Red Metallic and a new classy and deep-hue Phantom Black Pearl. RS is offered in two body colors, including White Solid which is exclusive to this trim level.
damn...that kinda sucks doesn't it? I was hoping for a WW MR
btw, let's compare brembos on the two trim levels, GSR and MR
GSR gets these:
MR gets these babies:

So the X RS is almost 100lbs lighter than the IX RS? Sounds like Mitsu is trying to please the hardcore fans there. Weight difference vs MR is almost 270lbs!! Should be huge performance deltas there...
Curb Weight IX: 3,263 lbs (EV0) 3,219 lbs (EVO RS) 3,285 lbs (EVO MR)
Curb Weight:
1. RS 5M/T 1420kg (3131lb)
2. GSR 5M/T 1520kg (3351lb)
3. GSR TC-SST 1540kg (3395lb)

Christ's sake people, get your farkin' $heeit straight before throwing around a bunch of mis-information.
To many bells and witsles on this car and it does not convince me at all.. the thing is that I am not the only one not impressed.
What is that about the RS rims? are the 16", where did the Brembo brake went?
The RS looks like a regular Lancer. And what is all that about the RS not having the Super AYC?
. I put my money on the Evo IX for now.

So from that standpoint the RS makes perfect sense: No ABS, brakes that will clear a 15" wheel and no AYC or any of the other "Super All Wheel Control" stuff that is useless on gravel and is added weight, complexity and expense, not to mention a serviceability and durability nightmare.
I just can't wait till the 4B11 cnt touch the milestones the 4G63 has.. It seems pretty good for stock, but despite the changes and advantages it doesn't seem like its going to be a match.. I say this engine is very limited but very nice for factory..
Still the so called X looks nothing like an EVO but its okay.. at the end of the day.. iys still ugly.. IMHO.. hahahha
