Thanks I appreciate the vote of confidence.
As a Mitsu Dealer( aka the dumb guy) I am more than on top of everything. The 2013 are the same and I have already ordered a couple . the order turn around is 3+ months.

Mitsu normally runs on 5-7 years before major changes.
08-13 Lancer
94-99 eclipse
07-12 outlander

Nissan works the same way

What exactly do you expect?

Looking at other cars:

The STi has remained mostly the same since 2008, besides of course fixing the mistake that was the 2008 model.

The c63 has been the same car since 2008, as has the M3, as has the 135i, as has a lot (all?) mini cooper models. The mustang received a few changes, but it has been the same body style (kind of) since 2005.

I would say for 2013 as an end year, the Evo is right on the mark.. sure it is nice to see a special model at the end, but this is still a mitsubishi product, so I won't hold my breath.

So do you have to put down some kind of deposit when you order them? What if somethin happens between when you order and it comes that causes you not to be able to get it? Is there some kind of penalty or anything, just wondering cuz I've never bought a new car before. Also, how long do you think the 2013's will last and how long will you be able to order them? Cuz i won't be able to get one for awhile and don't wanna end up missing out.

I was able to put a deposit/preorder on a 2013 GSR this week at my local dealership. I was also told they'd be coming in July/August but I read here that's when they will take preorders? If that's true a few extra months will be nice for a bigger down payment lol.

do you drive a vw. The x will do 0-60 faster then 6.

So there is going to be a 2013 X for sure? When is the rumored XI supposed to be released? 2014? 2015?

Gee, you are so funny. Expect something other than softer arm rests after 5 years? How naive of me. And, your Mustang analogy doesn't ring true. There are upgrades both in drivetrain and body. Just open your eyes and you will see.

What does he expect? Ohhh, i don't know, maybe you've never heard of the Evo 1-9? Doing 2008 through 2013 would be TWICE as long as any other Evo iteration.

I think you both completely missed the point.

The X may be the longest running model of the Evo series, compared to toher cars, not so much. Not sure how the first post even came off as funny, but ok.

i apologize if i made any mistake, I own an evo 9 so I dont really know how fast X can do, what cars.com tells me is 5.8 on GSR and 5.7 on MR, as long as I think 5.7 can be counted as ALMOST 6, can I?

The car mag numbers I've seen run 4.8-5.2, so call it 5 flat. And that, of course, is totally stock.
