Mitsu has said time and again that they will make as many Evo's as there are buyers. There are no waiting lists for Evo's, you can get one if you want.

 

"Considered pretty limited" and "limited production" are two completely different things.

There is no limit on the production of Evo's. There is a limit on buyers, and Mitsu then produces the number of cars based on that. But that is FAR from a limited production run.

If you think I am wrong, I would just ask that you prove that Mitsu is limiting allocation of Evo's for the US market.

 

I want Lighting Yellow for My MR...

 

yes lightning yellow needs to be a choose!!!!!

 

How about that fact that all the lancer Evo models ever produced worldwide is equal to about 3 months of us civic production. The maximum number of any single model (VII) produced is 13K. For the VIII the US got the entire production run of LHD cars.

Evolutions are produced in small lots with many manual operation off the line in bays. Also Mitsubishi keeps the number small so that it is easier to make changes to the Evo and "evolve" the car.

 

I don't care about the semantics of this retarted argument... when I went to the dealer, they said, "This is a limited production car". Although, you're right, if the demand was high, they would keep building them. I personally like the fact that there are only a few in my area.

 

Actually no they won't just build more you would have to wait for the next generation. Your dealer may be scewing with you, I won't comment on that. In Australia they are excited that they are getting 100 cars.

You have violated the first rule of purchasing a car.

You actually believed something that a dealer told you.

Semantics are irrelevent. The Evo is NOT a limited production car, if you want to buy one, there will be one available.

Just because there are not that many of them does not mean it is a limited production car.

 

So what does limited production mean?

 

im gonna buy/steal one of each color

 

Limited production means that they are only going to produce a certain number of cars in a year.

A low production car would be like an Evo or a Viper or a NSX. They are not limited production cars.

 

Notice how Evo VIII RS-II LHDs do not exist? They built 11K VIIIs and that is it, 5700 for the US and rest in RHD for Japan and the UK. The rest of the EU got nothing.



The Evo VIIs were built in three lots for 13K total. They were sold for 18 months.



The early Evos II & III (5000 & 7000 car respectively) sold out in Japan in a couple of weeks, they never made more.



Only 2000 or so TME were built.

 

Mitsu is changing the current blue by you color to electric blue. Is the much difference?

 

I think Eletric blue is metallic.

 

I have been saying this for a while, but low distribution does not make something a limited production car.

I think you are also losing the focus here which is only on the USDM Evo. That is the only car I was talking about, the rest of them could be limited for all I know.

What I do know is that there may not be many USDM Evo produced, but they are not limited. They will sell as many as they can, there is no limit on the production of them outside of potential buyers. (I suppose that if enough people wanted them and they couldn't produce them first enough, they would become "limited" in supply but not production, but this could be true of any car. If everyone just started buying Corollas and only Corollas, Toyota would not be able to keep up with demand, but that would not make the Corolla a limited production car.)
