    man i just realized how expensive cars are in the UK considering the exchange rate

    a basic IS250 with zero options is 24 thousand pounds... which converts to over 50 thousand dollars american... that is soooooo much money for a basic IS250 lol

    I've recently had the misfortune of driving a new base-model Mitsubishi Lancer ES and was disappointed to discover that the materials and fit and finish inside have barely improved over the last generation model. The base Lancer is an inexpensive economy car, however, while the Lancer Evolution is its more mature and expensive big brother. How expensive? Well Mitsubishi has announced that it will be pricing the latest iteration of the Lancer Evolution from $34,000, which will get you the GSR model with a five-speed manual. The top-o-da-line Lancer Evo MR that comes equipped with Mitsu's new six-speed dual clutch cog swapper will base at... gulp... $39,000. Inside Line reminds us that the previous Lancer Evo IX started at $28,679, which is a long way away from the new model's base price. Hopefully all that extra cash goes into making the Evo's interior better than the base Lancer's. Keep in mind, this is preliminary pricing, and Mitsubishi says that it hopes to reduce the price of each model by around $1,000 before they go on sale.

    Speaking of which, Mitsubishi also announced that the GSR model will be available to purchase next February, while the MR should arrive before the summer. Finally, the EVO has also received its official EPA ratings for fuel economy, which are 16/22 for the GSR and 17/22 for the MR.


    34 thousand isnt too bad imo... not considering all the technology on this new evo. i suppose the canadian pricing will be about 47 thousand, but i dont think mitsubishi has the same stringent rules on canadians buying from their US dealers.

    The GSR is my favorite. The car and you, nothing in between.

    lol except with this new GSR there are like 15 different traction/yaw/steering/differential control systems between you and the car

    blargh that is a seriously good looking car. I'm loving the lines of the side profile, this car is probably going to awesome in person... fast too if they drop in a 2.0L turbo

    i still feel like they must have used an IS for inspiration though, it looks so similar.
