Just curious, what dealership are you working with?

My 2012 MR has arrived, and I'll be picking it up tomorrow! I'll post some "evidence" shots tomorrow.

So jealous! When did you put the order in with the dealer? I put my order in in September but still no joy :-(

It's finally here! Ordered 1st week of Oct. Phone pics are crap, but it's too dark outside right now.

Some better pictures. Just de-badged the trunk, and added the MR logo that the Canadian cars don't get.

So how is the ride? I might just go ahead and break down and own an evo X 2012. Still debating between the GSR and the MR.

The ride is stiff, and you feel every crack in the road. BUT going over railroad tracks at speed isn't harsh, and it tracks dead straight if you hit a bump with only one side, which is good... Excellent road feedback.

The biggest DD difference for me, which is taking some time to get used too, is the MR trans will downshift engine brake a lot. I barely use my breaks, mostly just rest my foot on the brake pedal to notify drivers behind me.

Looks good! Yeah good choice in the MR badge! I did the same thing when I had mine too! Should also add the lip spoiler if you like the wingless look, it looks cleaner with it! We all want to see the ECO light! Can you take a pic of it when it's on?
