Rather have a strong notchy tranny than a weak nice shifting tranny

 

they need to change it, i loved the 9...not so much the 10

 

I heard from a Mitsubishi dealer in Minnesota that they will start taking orders in May for the '14 Evo X. The orders will be delivered in October through December. He said it's the exact same car, except the price may go up a bit - I dont think the price is confirmed yet.

 

Price going up slightly surprises me if nothing changes. Wonder if there are some GOV penalties or material cost that has gone up?

 

If the car does roll over into 2014 without any additions or changes, I would guess there would be a couple hundred dollar increase. The 2013 was a couple hundred dollars more than the 2012 and I believe they were the same vehicle without any changes.

 

they're milking this generation too much.

 

I do agree they are. But they obviously were way in the red after '08 (skipping a year is a huge sign on that). I'm sure they've been trying to recoup money since. I really wish a bumper or interior update would have been done at one point or another.

 

I bet you were either talking to Bobby or Richard to get that info.

 

BTW, I was at South Coast today. Got told the 14's are arriving in the next couple weeks.

 

can you take pics of the 14's and the spec sheet? thanks!

just checked the website and the 14's is not available anytime soon

Will do if I see them. The dealer is about an hour North from me. I just happened to be there yesterday looking at a '13 as I'm again considering the car. Inventory is low on whites & that brought the topic of waiting only a few weeks for the 2014's.

Not sure with Mitsu, but many dealers here had the 2013 MX-5's on the lots before Mazda had updated the website.

If I recall correctly, it was the same thing a year and a half ago with Mitsu. I was looking at the 2011's in November 2011 and there were 12's in the lot already. IIRC, the site still had 2011 only on it at the time.

 

I contacted South Coast right after I saw your post, and they told me what I heard was not true and that it would be here in a couple months.

Not sure why the inconsistent information that has been circling around, although couple months sounds more reasonable.

Last year the 13s hit around that time frame.

 

any ideas about the price range??

 

Maybe it was a misunderstanding. Like, when someone quickly says "couple of weeks" but means "lots of weeks" as in a couple of months. No worries.

Nonetheless, I'm interested in a 2013.

 

I know why you say that, but I really don't mind that the 2014 will basically be a continuation of the 2013.

I'm in the market for a second car, but I'm not sure if I'm going to get one this year or wait until next year.

If I have to wait until next year, I'd much rather buy the current Evo which has had seven years to get most of the bugs worked out instead of some new highly complex hybrid. You just know that the first year or two of the new Evo is going to suffer from some significant issues (as almost all new models do).
