SCOTTSDALE, Arizona — Mitsubishi today announced pricing for the highly anticipated 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X. The estimated price for the base-level, five-speed manual-transmission-equipped Evo GSR is $34,000. The MR model outfitted with Mitsubishi's new six-speed dual-clutch transmission identified as the Twin Clutch-Sequential Sportshift Transmission (TC-SST), starts at $39,000.

Mitsubishi officials say this is a conservative estimate, and hope that final pricing will come in approximately $1,000 less for each model including delivery fees. The previous Lancer Evo IX sedan started at $28,679 for the base car, and $35,189 for the MR trim.

Mitsubishi says the Lancer Evo GSR will go on sale in February, but isn't as specific regarding the Evo MR's timeline, only saying the car would be available in the spring of 2008. The vagueness seems to be connected to delays in the advanced MR's tuning.

Also announced today were official EPA ratings for the Evo X. The GSR earned 16/22 mpg for city/highway, while the paddle-shifting MR did slightly better with 17/22 mpg.

The 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X made its worldwide debut in October at the 2007 Tokyo Auto Show.

What this means to you: You're going to pay a small premium for experiencing the Evo X's new advanced technology. — Kelly Toepke, News Editor

So, $33K expected for the US GSR. But fine, make it $34K. Canada has been reported as being $43K plus freight and PDI for the CDN GSR. With duty (6.1%) and exchange (say 2%, gotta buy US dollars from the bank) the US GSR would be about $36.8K CDN. Thank you Mitsubishi for screwing the Canadian consumer once again!!! We don't mind paying a $7,000+ premium, we are stupid Canucks!!!

I've been dealing with this last six months and it's not as easy as that?
There's alot more logistics behind there final MSRP.

I used to be in the industry with BMW/MINI. BMW loves Canada and supplies cars to Canada in excess of what they supply to the USA on a per capita basis. Why? Because they make more profit per vehicle. Always have. Always will? Maybe this will change. Doubt it.

Also, I work for a company that is a Canadian distributor of many US products. Our costs are not appreciably different than similar distributors in the US, only the price we pay for the products is sometimes different (if the manufacturer sells in CDN$ they typically hedge the exchange so that they are protected if there is a swing in exchange rates in the short term).

What else does Mitsubishi Canada and their dealers have in expenses compared to Mitsubishi America and their dealers? 30+ million people is not a small market. Our newspaper, radio and tv ad costs are not different than in the US. Our transportation costs are not different. I already accounted for duty, yet there is still a huge disparity. When the dollar was at $0.65 nobody noticed, but now that the dollar has increased in value by more than 50% but the price have dropped less than 5% we have a right to question and a right to get answers and lower prices.

Today you can pay cash for a 2008 Acura MDX in Canada and receive a $7,000 factory rebate. This would not exist unless the dollar was so high and pressure from consumers buying from the US existed. So will Mitsubishi follow suit? Announce an MSRP of $44K then offer a rebate down the road if sales are soft? I do not appreciate this approach.

No shocker there. Of course now we need option pricing.

1. Putting every piece of literature on/in the car in english/french
2. Not de-valuing every Mitsu sold here in the last 5yrs
3. Crash Standards ie: more expensive bumpers
4. Immobilizer Systems
5. RIV letters ($350.00) from Mitsu

Also there's not a good percentage of canadians that have $40-50K laying around to pay CASH to receive a $7K rebate. If you finance, you pay msrp. Go to your bank you'll pay that interest.
I'm tending not to blame Manufacter's so much and am putting the onus on the Canadian Goverenment. Call your MLA before you call Mitsu.

Sure, there are lots of arguments to be made one way or the other.

What does the government have to do with this? Requiring certain bumper tests and immobilizers? The cars have immobilizers on both sides of the border, they have bumpers on both sides. You want to talk about a government putting extra requirements on car companies, CALIFORNIA!?!, and cars in CALIFORNIA only cost a bit more than in the rest of the USA, if there is any difference at all.

De-valuing previously sold cars, well, the currency exchange market did that, not the manufacturers or the governments. Too bad, I do see the problem with the outstanding leases and used cars on the lot and I sympathize. But Canadian dealers are buying in US used cars as much or more than Canadian consumers are, so the values are being pushed down already. The manufacturers need to reduce MSRPs now.

I agree, I think it sucks that your only get the Acura MDX rebate when paying cash, but they are offering very low lease and finance rates as well. Screw them all, either buy in the US or do not buy at all! Moratorium on new cars purchases in Canada!!!

No shocker there. Of course now we need option pricing.

MR with the Tech package could be well over 40K, I assume.

That sucks. :(

The MR seems overpriced. If the GSR comes in at 32-33K, and at about 35K well equipped, that's one thing...but the MR just seems like it's pricing itself out of the market.

even for a base the number is high.

i think considering the added ayc, sawc, cruisecontrol and the stiffer structure, it seems pretty reasonable...remember that the 9 gsr started at about $32500 if i remember correctly

with these #'s posted tho, i think i will just go the Ralliart route

Hell at over 40k out the door with the options I'd want, why not spend another $28k and just get a Nissan GT-R?

1-availability
2-dealer markup

Haha, I see the GT-R reference on every forum.

you can get a 335i for the roughly thr price of the MR... does anyone else think something's not right?

i agree with dino, the MR is priced out of its market.

This makes my choices tougher. I was thinking the BMW 135i was going to be much more expensive than the new Evo... now that I know that their base price is almost the same it makes it a tough choice!

+ 1 but I may not be able to wait that long, I may need the car by April/May time frame

If I have to buy a car sooner than later I will probably go with an STI from the USA, or lease a WRX in Canada. Right now the rates are not great but maybe they will be next Spring.

If the Ralliart is a sportback I think I may just have to wait, but it is looking to be a sedan like the regular Lancer.

Has Subaru ever come out with a modified WRX? Like a tuner version. something under the STI? I don't mind the power, AWD and transmission too much, but the look and suspension need some work.

my guess is the sedan version of the ralliart will come first (since prototypes have been spotted) and the hatch version a few months later

as for a "tuned wrx" in between the wrx and sti, nope, nothing in the (USDM) past

Then it is up to the 2008 WRX buyer to do their own upgrades. I suppose that there will be significant after-market support for the 2008 WRX despite the huge hoards of offended masses (was that redundant?). Suspension upgrades should be easily obtainable. Also, I would get the sport mesh grill as a first step mod.

also, the engine is pretty much a carryover (or at least from the legacy gt) so power mods are pretty much there

jesus fing christ.

this is the worst news ive heard in a while.

39k, 17/22 city highway mileage, when i first thought it was 22/25

wtf.

^ +1
Now i'm really dissapointed.
I have to say i'm going to be exploring other options if the price point doesn't come down at least 2 grand for the MR. I mean we are looking at 43K+ USD after TTL. That is outrageous.

jesus fing christ.

this is the worst news ive heard in a while.

39k, 17/22 city highway mileage, when i first thought it was 22/25

wtf.

Apparently the mileage standard has been changed. The 9 was rated with the old system.

http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/findacar.htm

the more i think about, i realize this is just an educated guess. yes edmunds might have gotten it from a Mitsubishi worker, but until i see an offical Mitsubishi press release, this is nothing more than gossip.

It was also mentioned in the video that Jackygor posted.

I agree ibn. "Mitsubishi today announced pricing for the highly anticipated 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X," ok cool I've been waiting for the price forever. "The estimated price for the base-level..." Wait, WTF!! I thought you just said "Mitsubishi today announced pricing..." That is not announcing the freaking price that is estimating what the announced price will be! Edmunds go suck a yule log.

Good old Eddie, stirring up the shit pot.

Yes until you see a window sticker these all just rumors.,

Yeah I love when articles dont quote their sources. I checked the Mitsubishi website and there is no information about the pricing. There were no press releases today on the website. I call bogus or lack of sources on this one. I laughed pretty good when I saw the "ESTIMATED" comment as well.

2 more days people until official pricing is releaseddddddd

Agreed, who ANNOUNCES an ESTIMATED price???

RE-GOD-DAMN-DICULOUS!

But I bet it's about right.

i hope these are rumors...... a 40k Mitsubishi thats crazy

Ha ha, we Canucks have no problem dropping 40 G's on a souped up Lancer. Our base GSR's will cost more than your MR.

mitsu is taking so long with the pricing i feel it could only get worse!

wow its already bad on all the rumors either way i really hope its not what they have posted all over the net.

Ahh, seems that the edmunds peeps watched the autospies.com video to determine their ESTIMATED pricing. GENIUS!

Yeah, now I see where they got their numbers. And i'm somewhat relieved.
I'm still hoping for 32K GSR and 36K MR.

I don't see why people are moaning about a 43K MR. That is maxed out in options. You cannot compare that to a 335i. Optioned out its over 50K.

There is no equivalent STi to the MR and when Subi goes DSG it will be just as expensive.

Unless you are simply badge conscious there is no justification to complain about a Mitsu over $40K. Why not? The hardware is there. Maybe its a bit slow but that can be fixed. History says fixed pretty easily.

A good friend of mine has a 335i that was maxed out. He paid 65k for it.

THE EVO IS NOT COMPARABLE TO THE 335i

2 more days people until official pricing is releaseddddddd
Are we sure that they are going to release the pricing tomorrow? I am so sick of waiting!!

A good friend of mine has a 335i that was maxed out. He paid 65k for it.

However It is more comparable to the new 135i which starts at 35k

Are we sure that they are going to release the pricing tomorrow? I am so sick of waiting!!

Nobody's sure, but everyone is hoping!!! You guys have pricing for the STI already, and Mitsu is determining how to position themselves against that, but in Canada neither Subaru nor Mitsubishi are willing to show their hand yet. I think STI's will arrive to Canada before Evo's given the recent delays, so we should have STI prices before Evo prices.

i feel bad for u Canadians.................... but i think mitsu is sayin 34k and 39k so when they really release the prices we all feel better.... its like when u call a company and they tell u 45 min wait and they pick up in 15 u get happy.... hopefully it turns out that way

Or they could be softening you up for a higher number, to reduce, if at all possible, the squeals of outrage!

Don't feel bad for us Canuckle heads, we are schmucks for laying down to the car manufacturers for so long!!!

Another autoblog post about the estimated pricing, making it sound like it is the actual announced pricing!
http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/13/mitsubishi-prices-lancer-evo-x-gsr-from-34-000/

And Motor Trend has announced the announcement of preliminary estimated pricing! No one wants to be left out of the reporting of non-news!
http://blogs.motortrend.com/6224098/car-news/mitsubishi-releases-evo-x-epa-ratings-preliminary-pricing/index.html

Um...seems official.

But they are still announcing the pricing as 'preliminary' and 'estimated' and 'could be $1,000 lower' so these unofficial prices are now official? Sure, I'd buy that for $34,000. If the price was listed as $XX,995, it would be more believable! :)

"The five-speed manual equipped Evo X GSR will cost around $34,000..." That doesn't sound like an official price to me.

Pricing for the sti looks much more official:
Base Price: $34,995
Plus BBS Package: $36,995 ($2,000)
Plus Navigation Package: $38,795 ($1,800)
Plus Destination and Delivery: $39,440 ($645)

I'll wait for exact pricing to be released instead of pseudo auto-journalists releasing garbage.

Hm? around 30K to 40k?

Not bad...

But you know about FQ series that's ben released by UK in the past Evos right?

Will it happen to EvoX too? I don't want to modifying my cars greatly, so that kind of tuning works better for me...

The MR seems overpriced. If the GSR comes in at 32-33K, and at about 35K well equipped, that's one thing...but the MR just seems like it's pricing itself out of the market.

Don't feel too badly, as I've stated in the other thread we in Aust. cop it worst of all I think in terms of being screwed on car pricing....

Here info so far suggests you'll have to cough up $80,000AUD to get an Evo 10 MR on road (our dollar is almost on par with the U.S dollar these days)...

For that much I wish I lived in the States and I'd buy myself a GT-R.

40K for the MR...that fcking transmission better be bullet proof.

i am hoping and praying that 17/22 bs is just bs. I expect it to be around atleast 20/25...but who am I kidding, I will be disappointed again.

Well if it makes you feel any better the fuel ratings for 2008 changed and the Evo 9 would be only slightly better than the X on the new one. www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/findacar.htm (http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/findacar.htm)

Found that link on EvoM somwhere

Man! The X is very overpriced in my country (Indonesia)

The base price is right almost 40K. If you look at stocks market transfer rate for US $1 equals to Rp. 9300 to 9500. In my place, the price is at 735 million rupiahs to 750 million rupiahs

So that's it...looks like I'm having difficulties already with my dad's budget. The price for sports car (more or less with 2000CC) is almost 100%. Basically it's like...55K to 70K

Suck, yeah? That's why I always jealous when other people around the world, can get their dream car, with no problem:(

I hear you R E X.

When I go to Singapore and help setup Evos at Sepang the guys driving them are usually really wealthy. But then again, these are the guys who can afford my professional services.

I think STI's will arrive to Canada before Evo's given the recent delays, so we should have STI prices before Evo prices.

Well I'm not sure if you guys know... The 08 STI has been on the Docks now for about 5 days in Vancouver, BC Canada.

Spoke with the Subie dealer in Vancouver they say their dealership has 9 coming in the first batch when they finally release them from the docks

It's sad that 08 STIs are here but Subaru Canada won't released their pricing. In my mind they are looking for the best way to screw us Canadian in pricing. I have both STI and Evo X on deposit and might have to go with the STI since god knows when the Evo X is coming. I sold my car and it sucks being carless! But I will refuse to pay anything more than $45,000 cdn. I have a feeling they are going to be closer to $48,000-$50,000 since they know we can't import the STI from the states any more. Canadians taking up the ARSE again.

I would prefer the Evo X but I'm 5th on the list and the dealer gets 2 cars in Jan. Then another 2 in Feb. So I don't know if I have the patience to wait that long.

Ready for the ass plug? :)

Looks like Mitsubishi has Subaru second-guessing themselves again. It's funny that Subaru has always waited for Mitsubishi to come out with pricing and then strategically align themselves just south of pricing to get that 'cheaper than you' edge. I was expecting Evo pricing to be released tomorrow, but with Subaru biting their nails and holding their balls in their hand, I don't forsee Mitsubishi releasing pricing until Subaru has coughed up their hand. In this instance, Subaru, who has been doing poorly sales-wise in the US, cannot afford to wait much longer while Mitsubishi, on the continued success of the Lancer and Outlander vehicles, is well in the black and can afford to wait until Fuji Heavy Industries drops it's drawers.

Haha, apparently 1 STI has landed on Vancouver, but Subaru is still haven't released the pricing yet!

I think Mitsubishi has more time than Subbie since the Evo is expected to be released on feb while STI are arriving to dealerships already...

KMX you are absolutely right about this one. When asking the Mitsu Sales manager what the EVO X is going to priced at, their response what from what he hears from up top it's going to be priced below the STI. They want to go hard at the STI and steal their market share in Canada. He mention something about launch pricing for the first year and might go up the Second year.

Comon subaru! set your price lower!!

lmao...suddenly we are are all advocates of subaru's strategic pricing plan...

Down down down...subie take it down...

So how about that pricing release?

have alook at lancerregister about prices, they are thesame as evo ix

http://www.lancerregister.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=181332

Wow, nice selection for the UK, but damned high prices!!!

In the US Subaru already set their prices, at the same time the car debuted in LA. Only in Canada we are still waiting on Subaru pricing. I expect Subaru pricing before Mitsu because the Evo is still delayed.

HRC, where are you getting your information? I want to see one ASAP!!! Which Subie dealer is getting their STIs first?

So how about that pricing release?

Anyone heard anything on pricing today?? KMX?

I've been refreshing the evo press release page all day...nothing yet.

If you don't have it bookmarked already here it is:

Check out cars101.com and see what the latest news is. AFAICT, you will be able to import one (Transport Canada was said to be softening the immobilizer regulation), but the dealers may not want to sell one to you after Jan. 3, 2008. They are not being penalized, but they are being discouraged from selling to Canada. Joe (the guy at cars101.com) will probably sell you one if he has some extras. They sell a LOT of Subarus. If this works I would probably buy the base version and do my own wheel and suspension upgrades. The Canadian version comes with everything, including Nav and leather, and I do not need all those bells and whistles (although they would be nice, I think the price will be more than I think it is worth).

Update: http://canadagazette.gc.ca/partI/2007/20071201/html/regle14-e.html


This proposed amendment modifies section 12, "Importation of a Vehicle Purchased in the United States," of the Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations (MVSR), to clarify the vehicle theft immobilization requirements for vehicles imported into Canada that are sold at the retail level in the United States. This proposed amendment clarifies that vehicles sold at the retail level in the United States, that are equipped at the time of manufacture with an electronic immobilization system, may be imported into Canada and that those vehicles that do not have an electronic immobilization system may be imported if the vehicle can be safely fitted with an aftermarket immobilization system.


If it already has an anti-theft immobilizer import it! If it doesn't, you could have one installed, but the manufacturer must certify that it will be safe with an after-market immobilizer, so they will probably not do it. So only look to import US cars that already come standard (or include as a factory option) an anti-theft immobilizer.

So lets see, THEY made the EVO heavier, slower, and the EPA is in the 10's........but they raised the prices about $5,000!!!!!!!
wtf!!
This car has been on my wish list for months and months and they're killing me one dart at a time:confused:!! I couln't care for the STI, but I hear the Lancer Ralliart will have about 230HP, its sad that i'm considering a downgrade!! But the Evo is slower 0-60 than a base WRX!!!
The majority of ppl will have to wait bout 6 months to get one anyways since most dealers are only gettin 1 or 2 at a time

So lets see, THEY made the EVO heavier, slower, and the EPA is in the 10's........but they raised the prices about $5,000!!!!!!!
wtf!!

misleading....the 9 RS trim started at about 30$k...there is no comparable X RS trim, so 9gsr to Xgsr, the price increase is about $1,500

Not to add fuel to the fire and I am sure someone will flame me, but I have an associate that has a direct contact with a Mitsu rep (corporate). MSRP will be around 34.9K. Again, nothing is concrete until official MSRP is supposed to be released but that's the word.....

It is very evident that Mitsubishi has broadened their range with the release of the X. There are more safety, performance, and creature comfort features available on this vehicle than ever before. They are no longer after the 16 year old ricer kids, they are after the mid 20s to 30 somethings crowd that have the money to spend. So what of the price? Its gone up but so has the quality of the vehicle. If you dont care for the performance numbers good luck finding anything else in the same price range that you "care for". Go buy something that you can afford. Lets face it if you are crying over 5 grand you shouldn't be looking at 30k cars anyways. The taxes alone on this car will be 2400+ Availability is not an issue if you have money to spend.

exact pricing has not been released but I do have very close estimate numbers that I have received

2008 Evo GSR

MSRP $32,XXX
if you add on the SSS package that gives you the larger MR spoiler,HID's and the 650 watt rockfordfosgate sound system that puts you around $35,XXX


2008 Evo MR


MSRP $36,XXX- $37,XXX

and yet nothing here.

Still waiting...

But the Evo is slower 0-60 than a base WRX!!!

Where do you have the performance tests to show this? What I have seen for the 2008 WRX is that is it 6+ seconds and the Evo is closer to 5.

UK Evo X costs more than the UK STI. Wondering how US is going to pan out......

The Evo X will not be more expensive than the STI in the US. The UK is a totally different market; although MMC-UK is a subsidiary of MMC, Colt Car Co has 51% ownership and they have typically sold Evos for about twice the price of US equivilants.

Plus a Mitsu US Rep stated that the GSR will be under $34,000 base.

While were on the subject of Colt Car Co; even though the UK gets FQ's they do pay a big price; other UK car dealers were importing Evo's to the UK and were selling the base Evo less then Colt Cars base Evo, so Colt Cars took them all to court and made them sign an aggreement to not sell newer Evo's. Japan Evo's can still be imported to the UK, but the buyer would have to do all the legwork; it would still be less expensive than buying an Evo from Colt Cars/MMC-UK. How sad is that? We really do have it better in the US.
