The A11 'luxury' package will include a 30GB HDD MMCS Navigation system, FAST key, bluetooth, cruise control, climate control, etc...

Depending on the actual true features, the final interior layout we get in the states, and the details on the warrenty I'd think that a EVO luxury package would be fair in the 36k - 44k range varied by markets and such. It it was quicker (duh, it should be) and just as, or more comfortable than the 6, I don't think we'd have a problem with it. The whole reason we didn't get an EVO when car shopping is the fact we both hated the design and overall comforts of the interior. I'll push for a local test drive when they come in.

That doesnt matter to me.. lol

I wouldnt ever buy a new car anyway so once it comes down in price I might be interested in it. Except prolly not, since that would be about 2 years from now, and by then the new 400hp M3's would be much lower in price.

14.5 gallon gas tank is all?
Doesn't seem to weigh all that much, about as much as a stock 2g.

I think the prices he has stated are a bit high. A IX MR retails at $37,000 though, so probably not a lot high since SST will be standard. Weight is not much more than the current Evo, 100 lbs max with a manual being 59 lbs more than a IX MR.

it looks like a skyline crossbread with a s70 volvo!

That video was awesome, thanks for the link, Scheides.

Am I the only one who thinks the evo front end looks like a vacuum cleaner?

Yes.

[ylimert01]

it looks like a big vacuum ready to suck up bugs..

[JET]

Maybe a shark ready to eat up slow Stratus'

[ylimert01]

would let it suck it up in a heart beat...

[hell0103]

Is an '06 EVO MR worth getting? I've been eyeing one with low miles, but the price is still high almost equivalent to a new EVO X ~ 32k.

Discuss.

[Super Bleeder!!]

the 6speeds give up the ghost when going for respectable power. So if you plan on going the bigger turbo route it would not be in your best interests.

Looks like they changed their mind, Evo X WILL be in WRC.

Wow leave it to Mitsu not to change a thing about color. But holy fog lights. hahaha Can not wait to see if the Evo X dominates WRC like the VI did.

[JET]

I don't think the X will do well, it has too much overhang and is just too big of a car. I think it will do well on the tarmac stages though, like the last Evo's. If nothing else this should speed up Evo X go fast parts.

[scheides]

Yay!!!!! Looks awesome!!!

Couple of badass videos from Japan!

Quote from that article...

The car will be allowed to run in national Japanese rallies throughout 2008, but international use must wait for the second half of 2008 or 2009.

Those videos sure answer a lot of questions on how well that transmission shifts.

[JET]

It will be homologated in mid 2008 for sure now.
