Mitsubishi is going to be selling the MR in this country.

 

when.

 

I'd guess sometime within the next 6 months. Mainstream brand dealerships usually don't take deposits on incoming cars further out than that. But CivicSiRacer would probably be able to give you a bit more precise info.

 

Video of MR FQ 320 vs. STi WR1

Keep in mind that the STi in that video is a UK-spec 2.0 liter model whereas we get a 2.5 liter engine.

 

should've gotten the blue evo :eek3:

 

They weren't measuring straight line performance though. I think even with the 2.5 US spec motor with the UK tweaks, the EVO MR FQ would still kick its ass.

UK also has plans for the EVO MR VFQ. Tweaked up to 400 bhp, lighter chassis aqquired by cf parts and lighter wheels. Limited run to about 30 only in the UK.

 

My friend just purchased the Evo RS for $27,000. Not too shabby.

He said he knows someone with the MR already. Even though I heard they would be available fall to late fall.

Cost is going to be around $33,000-35,000. And no ripping out of stuff like he said. Just a lighter roof which is essential since it's at the highest point of the car, so handling should improve alot.
