I own the '03 evo and me being 16 when i bought the car... i am grateful mitsu brought it here at all. i waited for 8 years for them to bring it on u.s. soil and it happened to be when i got my license. i anticipate the MR to come here also. it strives the older ones to make their car faster and/orbetter. it gives us compittion. i mean how many evo owners are excited as hell when they see an sti to mess around with. my friend is waiting for the MR to come and i am very happy for him.

even though the MR is great in every aspect, the car will still be a market opening for mitsu and subaru. every single evo has been sold in the u.s. that was around what???4500 of them. correct me im not even close. the MR is the booster for mitsu. the awd turbo window has been open for only 3 years and sales are very successful. BUT remember...... the evolutions is not what keeps the mitsu company alive. its the galant and the eclipses/spyders. evos came in 2nd throughout this year.

for all the haters out there....... theres nothing u can say or complain about to stop it from comming so y not just...... dont say a thing.
First I don't care what the car is named here in the US there will be newer versions of the Lancer Evo. They better come up with something new because I think the MR production run is about to finish up soon.


Although at first, the thought of you at eight worrying about the evolution being introduced in the US was funny to me. I'm 41 now. I thought back to when I was eight and how much I longed for a GT40 or a Cobra. So yes we are a couple of generations apart but both are car nuts.


Mitsu had sold 5700+ '03s as of a month ago. Pretty close to their targets. If the some of the dealers weren't so greedy early on, I think they would have sold out sooner.


They have already announced the end of Galant production. The last recovery plan that I saw said that they were refocusing on sports cars and trucks. It makes sense since this is where they really excell. The chance of Mitsubishi ever competing with the Accord and Camry market over the long haul is slim. I say accept your nitch and dominate it.


I can't imagine why they did not name the US car the VIII. Think of how easy an ad presenting the race history could have been. Instead they placed all there hopes on that stupid movie. To bad they have a good story to tell.

are you kidding dude??? are you actually sitting blaitently infront of your screen thinking "i know more then all these mother f*ckers" your taste and your opinion is your opinion but dont you DARE sit there trying to convince everyone that their taste in cars is a bad one. go for a drive, watch ****, lay out some cardboard and do some old school break dancing, just do something besides sitting there telling people their taste in cars is wrong.

bah, im done,

Just the attitude I'd expect. It's cool for everyone else to form an opinion as long as it doesn't disagree with what you think? Is this assumption right? You don't like what I have to say, too bad. Freedom of speech. You have the freedom to ignore me if you wish. I don't remember telling anyone that thier taste in cars is wrong...unless you can quote me on that specifically I think you're reading into this way too much.
The funniest thing about this is you guys have your panties so far up your *** about this post that I don't even bother getting upset about it. I just sit back with my cardboard, do some windmills, pop and lock a few times and laugh my *** off when I read your replies.
I am obviously a troll, I mean come on...all I do is post all day about how Evo's suck and Pinto's are the king of the road. I'm always bragging about the fact that I've driven most cars you guys have only seen in movies....(oh wait, I think this is the first time I mentioned that).
Shall I go on or would you like to further cement the fact that you can't stand that I have an opinion that differs from you? It's obviously the case since all you can come up with is "ban the chump".

[QUOTE=Cirrusly Evolvd]Ahh, finally after wading through the B.S. there were finally a few good posts to read.

For those of you calling B.S. on me driving a 6 speed Evo VII, where did I state that the car was stock? The car was a autocrosser in England with a built Dog Box trans. Like I said, I'd rather have the 5 speed any day. QUOTE]


Of course you would take the stock 5-speed. The dog boxs' are a race transmissions that people would never put on a public road. They don't even have syncros, insted they have billet gears that are straight cut. Wait until you drive a "factory" 6-speed then you can ***** and moan about it.

Don't ban him. I totally disagree with him in just about everything he has said so far, BTW.

I agree with you

Cirrus - I agree with many of your points. I did at the beginning and now at the end....but, your still a dick....none of us "has to" be civil, kind or respectful.....but things work better that way....

Just using my freedom of speech.

I have no problem with that, I didn't come here to make friends as I will most likey never meet any of you in person. I came to here to learn about our cars and post my opinion on related subjects. But there seems to be a lot of people here who get up in arms when they disagree with what I have to say.
You are all free to express your opinion, I do not repress your freedoms but there are those here who do.

and i love the fact that his signature is "i dont hate domestics, i dont hate ricers, ...we all love cars just the same so lets just all have great big hug" (grammer is cool you f*ckin hypocrite)

Cirrusly is way too f*cked up to be comming into this community and thinking just because hes never going to meet any of us in person that its okay to be a dick. if he was here to actually "learn" about cars and post his opinion on certian topics, then there is no WAY me nor at least 5 others would be pointing out how much of a dick he is, usually people here are pretty good about letting people have their opinions, but its obvious he's stating more then just that

Well why don't you educate me since your such a endearing specimin of grammatical correctness? Can't you find anything else to gripe about? I gave you plenty but you must've ran out of brain cells to come with anything better.

Why do I get to be bashed for being a dick? Since the first day I came to this forum that's all I see from most of the members. Hell you guys can't even let some 16 yr old kid talk about how much he loves his Evo without letting posts slide calling him a punk and a momma's boy because he has a nice car you couldn't afford at his age.

Quit preaching what you don't practice, who is the hypocrite now?

This thread will go nowhere. Just continuous flaming/bashing as well as going Off-Topic. Even after 'Speedlimit' edited/deleted a couple of posts, it still continued. I'm not keeping this thread alive.
