How many people have ordered an MR

Hi all. I was just wondering how many of you have already ordered your MR. I only ask because I just ordered mine from a dealer in Iowa (at MSRP no less), and he said that I am only the third in the entire district. BTW, has anyone heard about production numbers or anything, because if they are only making 700 RS's then they'll make even fewer MR's. Right?

I didn't even know you could officially pre-order them! What's your ETA on delivery??

I would be very cautious putting down money on any car right now unless it was fully refundable.

figured mitsu had to mess up another Evolution... RR most likely will be the current model with acd installed and possibly a 6-speed

just a guess, i'll believe it all when i see it

I put $500, fully refundable, but I'm good friends with the dealer. He said that it was the MR, but hes kinda old so I dont know. He says that they should be here in November.

There's certain things you have to do if you want to get a limited edition vehicle. I understand his situation. I'm not saying I agree 100%, but I understand. It cannot be a lot different from the current 03 Evo, which one could testdrive now.

EVOMAN - Which dealership did you work with? I live in Iowa and none of the dealerhips that I have spoken with knew much about the MR. One would quote MSRP for an MR and one other one wanted a "market adjustment". I just laughed at the last dealership, but if they get an MR, they will probably find a sucker willing to pay the markup.

Um It's not stupid
You let them charge you on your cc and get it in writing as refundable
Now you're one of the first to get one if it arrives and if you don't like anything about it you get your money back
If they try any funny business just call your cc up and it's 100% taken care of

I'll wait till theres an official announcement though

Guess i'll wait till the electronic diffs and the specs are confirmed.

Larger oil cooler, aluminum roof, larger and titanium turbo, 6-speed, Front LSD, ACD, and maybe SAYC, better climate controls, MR suspention, and BBS forged wheels

Wow that's alot of goodies over my current ride
