haha that's pretty much what i said when he said 45k. "You can get a 335 for that." He seems to think that it's a popular car and there will be so few of them coming that they will be able to sell them even at that outrageous price.
you know, he could be bulls**ting but i can see how it could happen. Evo IX MR is $35814 (MSRP+destination). Evo X will be more expensive. Add (say) $2k MSRP difference, $5k dealer markup, and you're in 45k land.

Seriously, who's going to be Mitsubishi's guinea pig by buying the first batch and pay a markup to be one?
In time the hype will die down, the bugs will be worked out, and most likely will be improved upon.

I do like what I am reading and seeing with this car. I m hoping that it might be at some of the US auto shows. L.A is next month. 
I also want to see the new STi.

My palms are all sweaty awaiting the new STi. I love the looks of the hatchback and in the end I think it will be a more reliable vehicle over the Evo. I drove an Evo 9 and it was unbelievable in terms of handling but as already stated, the interior quality was so bad I just couldn't justify forking over the cash to buy one. It sounds like Mitsu bumped up the interior quality a bit on this new one though but I will have to wait and see for myself.
All I know is that buyers, muself included are going to have a hell of a time choosing between the 1 series bimmer, the Sti and the Evo.
PS..Sorry Honda, but you dropped the ball on the S2K

I'd like to test drive one myself, but we have a total of one pre-owned STi across three Subaru dealerships in S.D., and their salesmen are uncooperative.
I'm all torn now. I almost committed to buying a 330 ZHP and now I'm thinking that, if STi is anything like Evo, it's a lot more "raw"/energetic/fun to drive like my old S2K, and I can get a new one for about $3k more than a 3yo ZHP... Power seats or Recaro seats, that's the question...
