No Recaro's for the upcoming 2015 Evo X

Just read online that upcoming 2015 Evo X will not be sold with Recaro seats. Has anyone else heard this?! Rather interesting as I was thinking about picking up a 2015 model as a daily driver. Maybe this could work out in our favor as it could bring the price down. Me personally I would rather buy an Evo X with no recaros for less money and then add a set of real Recaro bucket seats after the fact.

No brembos either. They will call it the Lancer.

Really?! I've yet to hear/read that. Well thats just unfortunate. I could live without the Recaro's as picking up a set of Recaro Profi's aren't crazy expensive. But no Brembo's...that's a different story.

With these two key features removed from the car there "should" be a significant decrease in price over previous years.

But let's be honest, there wont be.

Car companies are not in the habit of decreasing prices.

I know but I think if roughly $5000 of stuff is going to be taken off for cheaper counterparts then the price should reflect that.

They will add something "new" to justify the same price plus a little extra inflation I'm sure.

I was joking; I honestly have no idea what they are doing for 2015. Though I can tell you, if I'm going to purchase an X it better have Recaros/brembos.

I heard about this awhile ago on another forum an the reason for no more recaros was because of "Safety Regulations" Which with the world we live in now i can believe it was for something stupid.
