My Local Mitsu Salesman said "No changes in RA in next 2 years"?!?!

Is this true?
I asked him if I should wait for the next year's Ralliart to come out and he abruptly said that there will be no differences/changes in the next 2 years of the RA, just like the evo.
IS THAT TRUE?!?!

Mitsubishi hasn't announced anything about changes to either the Ralliart or the Evo X. Doesn't really surprise me, the car just came out. Might be tiny trim changes, or small changes to fix functional issues, but don't expect anything major.

All you have to do is give it 30 seconds of rational thought. The Ralliart just came out this year and there's no reason for Mitsu to do any major revisions until the car has been out for a couple years.

Most likely sunroof, but definitively better interior bits like the new 2010 MR Touring and 2010 Ralliart Sportback

search, plenty of threads about supposed upgrades for the ralliart in 2011 and 2012, including a small bump in HP, larger tire width, and a manual transmission.... makes sense mitsu wants any chance of catching up to the WRX

Well, yeah. Plus, when I worked for them, they didn't announce any changes to any cars until right before they came out, especially the Evo with its "eyes only" press embargo status. The Ra may not be as tightly guarded, but I doubt he'd know this far out.

Nope... that's all false information and it has not been confirmed by Mitsubishi at any point;

Those assumptions are someone's dreams of a future Ralliart
