If the X is similar in price to the outgoing IX, I'm in. If it does turn out to be a $3k to $4k bump for each level, that's a shame. That's a pretty considerable hike from one generation to the next. I think they'd need to keep production low to justify that price tag, even though it appears they may be making a move to boost sales.

I wonder where the STI's price is going to fit into this. Even though I'm not as impressed with it, I'd be more likely to buy a 6spd STI at $35k than the MR at $40k.

We'll see, I suppose.

We can thank the weak *** USD for the price hike more than anything.

Again, this is in Virginia, and one of the biggest Evo selling dealerships in the area. He is also taking pre-order deposits for $500.00.
Are you talking about Stohlman Mitsubishi?

$35-40k? Are you kidding me? I'm not buying an X if they price them that high. Like it's already been said, I'd rather get a BMW 335i for that kind of $$$.

They should have made it a hell of a lot faster for that price.

What does the price have anything to do with the development of a car?

+1. And tell me Is there any car on the market today that perform like EVO X or STi and cost about $40K ?? BMW 335i 4 door will be next close one, but BMW 335i sedan start at $42k and add option up to $50k !! Most of the 335i you find at BMW dealer will cost you around $45k. The 335i two door cost $3k more and very hard to find one now !! Thats how Mitsubishi and Subaru price their EVO and STi !! Who can touch them for price about $40K ?? If you are buying a car for performance, you will pay $40k for a EVO or STi, otherwise you can pick BMW 335i, Audi A4, Acura TL-S, Mercedes C350 ,Lexus IS350,Infiniti G37,Nissan 350Z. They all in that price range with $5k more or less !! People please don't said if EVO X cost $40K and you are going to get a GTR, The GTR are $65k and more, Totally different level of performance car ! The BMW M3, Mercedes C63,Audi RS4 and GTR are the same level, they all cost about $65k-$75k !

I am guessing the EVO X GSR will cost about $33K and MR will cost about $37K without option.

135i, Nismo 350z, S2000 CR should all match or beat the performance of a stock Evo X. They don't have four doors or awd, though.
