:O
I hope that doesn't mean end of support for 2.4L aimed performance parts! Also glad I got my GTS when I did, I can't imagine driving around the new GT with a 2.0L engine Lancer which is going to cost as much as I paid for my GTS, lol.

OUCH.
Was that many things changed for the '10? i have yet to run into anyone with a '10..seems like everyone brought theirs '09. and i guess that was a wise choice.
I guarantee Mits Canada's RA sales are going to go WAY down with the 2011 model and on unless they really lower it or put Recaros and something like HIDs or something else in. Lower the MSRP around $1k and remove Recaros and HIDS
Subaru is gonna love this alot. WRX sales are gonna be alot higher.

What I REALLY want from the new Mitsu's is their FUSE system that adds better bluetooth system, usb port, ipod interface, etc. I hope to God that you can upgrade 2008 EVO's to use that system. I really want an iPod interface.

I think they already started cost-cutting before the official 2011 model release. At one of the previous east-side meets it was mentioned that some people bought Ralliarts and without any notice... when they went to pick up their car found out it had "normal lancer seats" instead of the Recaro's they initially ordered the car with. Now that sucks big time.
Atleast for 2011 Mitsubishi is openly declaring the changes now.

Is what I have, way better than any MMCS or FUSE or any other OEM system you can get in a car.

You're right... there are a lot of nice aftermarket radios out there... and the one you posted looks really nice too. I had a Pioneer head-unit in my old car... and loved the iPod interface... and the face that I could basically plug anything into the USB slot and play it.
The problem I have with EVO is... there are so many of the car's functions integrated into the MMCS... that I'm a bit worried about losing those functions with an aftermarket head-unit.

I drove the 2010 STi last week. It's too soft... and it looks like ***.
I will admit the Subie does have the following advantages:
- more torque at lower revs
- more cargo room because of the hatch back
- better quality interior
If anything... I think this move by Mitsu is to try and motivate more people to buy the EVO by creating a larger gap between the EVO and Ralliart.
