It's confirmed that it will come with ACD.

I agree if its priced above $32.5K, it'll just hurry my decision to buy an STI.

Why doesn't the evo's ACD have a manual mode so you could adjust the torque split manually like the STi?

aren't all the GSR '05's like $29,9 MSRP? I mean, the MR has several upgraded goodies, if you don't think that the roof, 6-speed, bilsteins, BBS rims, vortex, blah blah etc. isn't worth a couple/few extra thousand bucks then you should forget about the MR already and head over to whatever other choices you've set for yourself.

you would rather buy a slower Sti just because it's a few bucks cheaper? if price is your main consideration, why not buy a hundai or something?

i think most of us are willing to pay a little extra if the MR is as good as advertised.

the mitsubishi press release details do not metion the active yaw control for 2005. however that does not mean it will not be available for 2006. mitsubishi also said that the options or features were up to date at the time of the statement. Mitsubishi might need to fool Subaru into thinking it will not include ayc, but maybe they will. Only time will tell.

ACD allows you to adjust the bias to be neutral, front, or center. It doesn't have the sillineess of the STi, but go on NASIOC and other forums, and most drivers will tell you that they really don't play with the DCCD dial that much. It's really for track junkies.

It'd be nice to have the capability, but I'm not seeing it as a major minus.

Hate to burst your bubble, but as an Eclipse owner myself ('01 GT, loaded), good luck. The residual value on our cars is pretty bad. With under 30,000 miles on my car come September, I'd have an incredibly difficult time getting $9K for it on trade-in. And first year depreciation is always the worst... you better be sleeping with the dealership.

So can canyone confirm yet, if the MR come with adjustable rear headrests with the leather package?? and still no cruise control. :sigh: or SMT :sigh: :sigh:

And a big 2 word piece of paper you have to sign before taking delivery that says
"AS IS" since I'm sure the MR badge voids your warranty.. Just having the letter R from Mitsubishi Racing is enough these days.

Is anyone planning to pick up an MR and *NOT* enjoy it at road circuits? And if so, what is the motivation to throw a lot of money away on a depreciating toy?

Was leather in the MR confirmed as an option in the first place? As for SMT, I think you're kind of dreaming with that one. Not to mention the fact that the non-standard manual transmissions in other cars tend to only be able to handle their original power output and not much more.

Remember, at least you get the new, improved, ACD cupholders. Cupholder... cupholder... cupholder...

hes right, it is allllllllllllllllll about that larger cupholder. the only reason that we get the new CH is cause the water sprayer button wont be next to the cup holder anymore lol.

...i want an '05!
