Dang 08!!!

Well its not the car it self but some of the demand for it! Why do i say this is because i orded my car the 2nd week of MAY! Well called yesterday to find out completion date!!!!! Well saddly to say i have to wait tell end of JULY!!! maybe even longer! why why??? All i want is my blue gts 5 speed with sun and sound! Grrrr o well my venting is done

Anyways found out that mitsu made most of the gts 08's with the nav system and more CVT then manual. Why i say WHY there was only 1 5 speed in the 5 states that surround me (maybe its that i live in ND) bah anyways. So my question for all those that own a 08 would you wait 3 months knowing what you have now?

ok ok now im done just sucks having to wait for such a nice looking car

I don't own an 08, but waiting 3 months is by far too long if they promised you earlier otherwise.

Shouldn't you have asked about this before the purchase?

i waited a month for mine, but not because they were building it, my dealership just couldnt find the one i wanted, and didnt want to order me one. i wanted a blue cvt with sun and sound and no navi, and when i went there to try and buy one, the one i wanted was sold the day before, and my salesman kept callin tryin to get me one, and anytime someone had one i wanted, it was sold before he could get it. i ended up going to look at a red one with everything, and loved the color, and thats what i ended up with, i love the red over the blue now!

Maybe I'm crazy but I think that's a good sign, for once mitsubishi is making a car that is actually selling out.

Is that what they said? I can't find anything in regards to a strike.

Does anyone have any information in regards to the strike?

I ordered on April 13th and I won't be getting it till early July.

I'll bet that was a load of crap your dealership made up... I would call mitsu's customer relations dept. and see if you can get something taken care of that way...

The dealers here in chicago are sitting on so many they dont know what to do with them. Their lots are full.
