Default 2010 Evo M.R. Touring

I just don't think that America is ready for an Evo that starts at over $40k, and hits over $50k if all the boxes are checked.

I think mitsubishi is starting to lose their perspective on who is in there demographic.

In the words of my foreign friend: Mistubishi has lost the plot!

I'd get a base, stripped Lancer and use the left over money for an S2000 CR. I'm not paying $50,000 for a souped up $15,000 car.

Wow, what a joke. Almost $50k?! That's even worse than Honda charging $30k for the Mugen Civic Si, lol.

Still a performer in the $40k class, no matter what you people have to complain about. It seems like a nice fit for those who want the performance of an Evo but slightly more refined.

i remember buying a brand new one back in 2003 for $27K, $50K with all the options is too much for the brand to ask.

*Slightly* more refined in this case meaning whoopty-doo. Heated seats, a sunroof and some more sound insulation in a Lancer isn't exactly going to install a teleporter in the nearby BMW dealerships.
