This is nonsense. Its an EVO, the aftermarket will be right there to support it. SRT-4's have the turbo in the back, Audi's are no treat to work on, etc. but they all have very strong aftermarket support. A 5 (or 6) speed manual transmission will be available and I'm sure it will be a better design than the current EVO tranny (better shifting, stronger, etc.). I am sure Mitsu is well aware of who their market is and what they want, they won't make the same mistake they made with the Eclipse (financially, they can't afford to).
