Which color for your MR?
why does everyone think that mitsu is on this conspiracy to screw their customers outta the mr? that's the most ricockulous thing i've ever heard. mr = sti and spec c eater (or so mitsu hopes). next: try lookin at this whole supply/demnd limited blah blah in another light. HOW MANY EVOS WERE BROUGHT TO AMERICA? now take that number and compare it to HOW MANY WERE SOLD. i believe van nuys mitsubishi still has evos so that would make it... NOT ALL OF THEM WERE SOLD... YET. and people pay msrp or less on these bad bois so why would you even THINK that they can get 45k outta the mr? it does not matter how many they make, what matters is if you are gonna buy one. and if you are gonna buy one, don't get screwed for huge mark up, cuz there is NO REASON TO! if they make so few LESS PEOPLE WILL BUY THEM, it's not like evo's are flyin' off the shelves like hot cakes right now. plus there is a semi saturated market now (people that already have evos). it could be in a strange twist of fate that the current evo owners have made so many fans that when the mr drops they will all be sold out before they even hit the show rooms, but that would be quite a strange twist of fate wouldn't it?

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.)

Much like the ITR in the past they could only produced as fast as their hand porting could go. Evo's up to this point are the same way. Just show me a actual build higher than 13K over a 18 month period I would like to see it.

Low distribution = cars that are limited in the ability to be produced or purchased. Just like I said, by your definition if everyone started buying only Corolla's and Toyota could not keep up, it would become a limited production car... thats just silly. It would only mean that Toyota couldn't keep up with demand, not that there was now some limited production car.

In this day and age of uneducated hip hoppers, do you really hope to educate people on definitions of words in the english language.
Maybe you should try giving definition in ebonics, yo g hommie das riygghhhtttt!
As simple as it is, some will never get it.. :sigh:

Now many in auto sales have used the limited production ruse as a way to sell cars. Most of the time it is false. But for Evos the production is limited since they are build in 2-3 three lots in an 18 month period. Making twice as many would slow down the “Evolution” of this car. Production techniques that work for builds in the thousands, do not work well when the build in the tens of thousands.
Show me any evidence that they are going to build even 20k worldwide of any upcoming Lancer Evo?

You don't get it. Building based on demand is not limited production.
Limited production is saying we are building 5000. 5000 will be built, whether 2500 sell or 7500 people fight over those 5000. There is NO LIMITED PRODUCTION amount set my mitsubishi, if 10,000 flocked to delaership for an Evo, they would do everything to build them and sell them.

there's really not that many people that buy evos... it's a niche market... wrxs sell better i'd say, cuz they can semi fit in as an econmical sedan, and they have a wagon. evo is pure sport... pure niche market.

I know the Commodore 128D Personal Computer had an awesome SID chip, even if not used to it's full potential. and it comes with a built in 1571 Disk Drive and keyboard.

There only car officially on limited production for the year of 2005 is the MR
They will only be making 800 units and thats it
If sales do well that limit may not be limited in 2006
Oh yea the 2004 Evo's were limited because production of the 2005's are about to start
