he special edition EVO with a 6-speed manual
A Mitsubishi source told Motoring.com that when it phases out the six-speed TC-SST automatic transmission in March 2015, the 2015 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution limited edition model will be offered in Japan with a 6-speed manual gearbox. There’s no word on whether this new transmission will be coming to the U.S. market. Stay tuned.

The 6 speed is the only thing this car is missing. People complain about the crappy gas mileage, but what do you expect when you have to rev at almost 4k at normal freeway speeds?
Ok, it is missing more than just the 6 speed, but you get my point....

I meant ANY, as I'm pretty sure the X MR was also just shy of the X GSR in the mpg department, though not by much.

I always suspected that the TC-SST was probably sapping 5-10% of fuel mileage off the top compared to a conventional manual transmission -- just based on its design with three shafts instead of two, and with a wet clutch instead of a dry clutch, etc. I have no data point for that, but it made sense from an engineering basis...

I would note that my X MR got pretty poor fuel mileage. Worse than my VIII. (Although my VIII was tuned, and got better fuel mileage after the tune.)
