Hey Damo, you sound like a bit of a Bogan yourself.

I mean prefering an EVO over an M3? A turbo lancer over a german engineering master piece?

You see if you actually get round to driving either, you’ll notice that the BMW is built like A BRICK SHIT house. The doors have a weight to them that is unmatched, the line up of all panels on the car etc is amazing.

The evo will not outperform it anyway. BUt try not to take the BOGAN aapproach of thinking faster = better – especially when its not faster?

I dont need to say anymore, if you have owned both of these cars at some point or at least driven them AND have a brain, you know the M3 is in a different league.

well obviously if they put the price up too much and no one buys it the price will come down… so not much to worry about. just have to wait ..

There dreaming !,
The yen has never been better. You have to go back to 1980 to see then yen like this.
i am about to buy one but if it is more than 62K for the SST then i am straight around to VW for the R32. This comes with a host of “options” not found in the Evo X with only slightly less performance.

First and foremost both GSR and Ralliart EVO X are earmarked for Australia. Secondly, they are going to be priced at or around current EVO 9 pricing, so I dont know where the rumors or pricing came from, but its not the indication given to us by MMAL.
Thirdly, we have already taken orders on the EVO X.

GSR will be at or around the 40K + ORC’s AUD mark, and the EVO X will be in the high 50’s PLUS ORC’s

First’s for EVO in Australia will be 7 airbags inccluding the new knee bag, 18″ wheels, bilsteins, eibachs, both manual and auto transmissions. Update’s on the AWD and stability system are in the mix too, as is an upmarket interior. The base donor car is 50% more rigid, and 56% stiffer than the pervious CH lancer, so it should be almost surgical in its handling characteristics. The car is 60mm longer and 65mm wider, with a wider track and the wheelbase is larger too. MIVEC 3 is also making its debut, and other cool features like blue tooth conectivity are earmarked for Australian shores.

As for its competition? Well, there isnt much that gets near it unless you spend 2-3 times more money.

Given the styling of the new impreza, I think this is Mitsubishi’s time in the spotlight, and add to that the 5 year 160,000 warranty, and 10 years on drivetrain, reliabililty wont be an issue either.

Wayne your a flipping BOGAN!!! Come on let’s listen to Wayna the VIB BAHAHHAHAHAHAH LOL LMAO Seriously, I would pay 80k for that sort of car because people pay that for an HSV GTS which is a far more unadvanced car and has a lesser warranty, worse interior and everything else. This is only speculation on the price and it is only expected to be 65k, if people don’t like that they can get a ralliart lancer or a crappy WRX DOG!!

Damo your an idiot remind me never to go car shopping with you if you had it your way you would probally petition Mitsubishi to put the price up.
I just think its stupid to let any supplier know that you would gladley pay 20k more for their next model.
Uh Duh Damo

Hi Capncrunch,

I agree with your comment on Car Salesmen, the dude I was dealing with wanted a 10% deposit on a car he wasn’t sure want the exact price or deliver date will be. He didn’t get it!!!

At least Subbie now have a spot on the website to pre order the WRX (As if we would). Hopefully Mitzi will do the same.

Cheers

Wraith the reason older Evo models cost so much is because they were restricted import or some such – about 100 a year? Evo 9 has no such restrictions, hence the lower price.

Regarding the dealership telling Eric that it was $70k well I’m surprised they even knew the Evo X was coming out. Dealerships and car salesmen know less than you or I do.

I have to agree with Lisa and say that 13LAZE your way off target with your presumptions about the pricing on the new upcoming R35 GTR (I asuume your talking about this variant and not a normal skyline)

It’ll be priced at well over 100k, as it will be a match and in direct competition with the 911 twin turbo AWD Porsche…

Remember past model Evo’s (Mk8 for eg.)have cost more than 70k, this new Mk10 will be way better than an 8.

Like I’ve stated before, if you do a comparison of other cars in the same performance bracket, except for the dog ugly wrx, what else is there for a similar price…

All things considered, the lower the price, of course the better, but even at 70k, I think it’s still worth every penny (ie comparatively speaking), if that means they’ll be less of them around, well for those who do get one, this is a good thing, both in terms of exclusivity and future re-sale value.
