So I spoke to a local dealer. He states that:

" Mitsu has not released their pricing yet. They have not translated the yen sticker price to US dollars"

Can you read through that BS? This is downright ugly. I wondering if they are trying to predict currency exchange values within the next year. Anyway, looks like no pricing today.

If they just translated the Yen to USD (and to CDN) that would be fine, the USD will likely remain stable or slightly increase in value over the next year. But they don't do that. Each market is evaluated on its own terms. Limeys and Canucks are small markets so let's screw 'em!

Anyway, isn't official pricing supposed to be out today, KMXxBadboy???

It's like seige warfare. I got the runaround today on the web-meeting we had. I bitched moaned and complained. So they gave me another allotment of 12 Evo X's.

While it's nice to give me more cars, I really wanted pricing too, but they just were saying that they couldn't release it yet. They wouldn't give me an explanation as to why.

Dealer said its on the freaking boat, that's great, what the hell is the price? Am I the only one that's frustrated?

we all are.may they want subaru to release first then they will.the wait its taking too long but if it goes that far up then i will be buying a gt500kr or ss.

I've been frustrated for a while now. About 2-3 times a week I think I should get my deposit back and buy a sti... If the subaru dealer near me wasn't so incompetent I would have a deposit down already. All I have to say is that after waiting so long I expect to be rewarded for my patience with a price within my range or under, which probably won't happen. This sh** is so stressful.

Isn't everyone? I really would like to know the price right now, but since Mitsu is being uptight about their price, I geuss we'll just have to be patient.

I agree. Mitsu needs to get their shyt together. But its the holidays, I have other shyt to stress about.

Bah humbug. Gimme the price already.

I went to my local dealer last night to look at colors and such, and they're getting ONE evo, which will be an MR.


Then they proceeded to tell me "to forget paying MSRP for it". Ha!

"Don't worry, I won't be buying it here."

Dealers are gay The ones here in Denver are marking them up 10k just because they are AWD. I am not paying the 10k mark up I got the msrp price locked down by putting 10k down.

Does anynoe know why they dont produce larger production and think of selling more of them at a fair price instead of having giant mark up on the few that make it to the dealer. If Mitsubishi wants to make it big and they have a Great product that ppl wanna buy, why not mass produce it. I'M SURE IT CAN OUTSELL THE CAMRY IF THEY PRICE IT RIGHT:tmyk:

Yes, its called basic microeconomics - demand pricing. Mitsubishi, as a profit maximizing firm (all businesses are profit maximizing) looks at its target market, the demand curve, consumer perceived utility (utility curves), the price of alternative competitor offerings, the substitution rate, and price elasticity of demand (as the price goes up, how many customers will they lose?).

With all that data, they build a profit curve based on how many cars they think they will sell at each price point versus the cost of production and distribution (including marketing costs) for the volume of cars at that price point (and administrative overheads). The various curves intersect at a sweet spot were the profit margin is largest, and that's the price they will set for the car.

So what's the reason for the delay? Mitsubishi's production capabilities and target volume is to sell 4,000 Evos a month worldwide. According to Mitsubishi's own press releases, as reported in Auto Week, half those cars will be sold into Japan to what Mitsubishi knows to be a dedicated and loyal customer base (i.e., that customer base would never buy a substitution and as its their home market its easy for them to price to this market).

Why the delay for North America? Mainly, they don't have a price for their major substitution (the Subie STI), therefore making it difficult for them to determine how much profit they can gouge out of the American car consumer.

They are in a game of price chicken with Subaru. As in all games of chicken, someone is going to blink first.

Cheers,

Price of the STI has been release for some time in the US. Just not in Canada even though the STI has landed in Vancouver. Can someone confirm if we can Import the STI to Canada? Cause I have a feeling that Subaru canada will keep the STI MSRP around $48,000. If that is the case I'm going south to order one or wait to see what the EVO is priced at. I hate this waiting game.....

So much for having the price released on 12/14/07. I am starting to think they wont ever price it. My car is going to ship out on 01/18/08 so I hope they have a price by then.

I have been talking to a dealer in Colorado, and one in Wyoming.

The guy in Colorado told me base GSR price will be right at $30k, and that the MR will be about $6k more. I have dibs on a GSR there with the technology package, I was told to expect to pay around $34k.

The guy in Wyoming is telling me there will be no price, that they will be selling them to whoever is willing to pay the most...I call BS!!!

Little off topic, but I won't be around much in the next few days. Was involved in a fatal car accident tonight (I was a passenger) and I'm going to be at home resting up.

glad to hear you are ok, michael.

sorry to hear about that though, r.i.p to whoever passed away

That's the worst part. It was a customer of mine who just picked up his car and we were on our way to a Lancer meet out in PA.

That is terrible. Send our condolences to his family. RIP EVO ENTHUSIAST. Glad you are ok and rest up KMX.

sorry to hear that kmx,send my condolences and prayers to his family

Thanks, brothers. I know it might sound corny, but please everyone wear your seatbelt at all times. It saved my ass tonight.

wow, thats gotta b hard to live thru. that could be anyone of us. it sucks. its a split sec. decision to click it but MKX is right, that saved his ass and lived to tell bout it.......I'm glad the Evo X has 7 Airbags. all that extra weight starts to make some sense now, even if its slower 0-60!

Glad to hear you are going to be ok KMX rest up.

This is the biggest reason I am getting the EVO X is its safe. Last month I saw a drunk driver hit a car at 100mph and roll it 6 times that made me say "damn I need something with more safety and air bags."

Yes, safety is a welcome addition and worth a couple hundred pounds (I paid for extra side airbags in the Escape Hybrid). However, it would have been nice to keep the performance in line with the hp/lb of the IX. And it can be done, look at the UK's FQ series at 330bhp and 360bhp.

Ok Mitsu Subaru released US prices so lets see the EVO X price!!

Over a month ago now!!! Mitsubishi cannot be waiting to see what Subaru STI price is in Canada, can they???

Safety for me is #1. If I could weld a rollcage in the X without stripping the interior and keep the functionality of visors and rear passenger seats believe me, I would.
How much power I can squeeze out the engine in my safety bubble is secondary.

Wow. Almost at 40K loaded.

I think we are all frustrated. What kills me is GM has already released pricing for their G8. I can get a fully loaded G8 GT for 33K, that's the base model GSR's cost. Granted, two completely different platforms and the GT is rear wheel, but come on Mitsu! Get on with your pricing!

G8GT has about 361 HP, V8. It's in auto only, if it weren't for that I would seriously think about getting one........

it's embrassing to think that a guy with a G8 that will cost less, have leather, can beat you on a 0-60 contest with you having an Evo X.

True but it is still a GM!! I wouldn't buy one.

i see the g8 more as a chrysler 300 hemi competitor, not an evo / sti competitor

Yes, it's GM. First, I appreciate all cars and I am a general car enthusiast. I do prefer imports but that is not to say a Dodge Viper or a BMW isn't badass either.

I am venting my frustration because I feel Mitsu is insulting our intelligence. :uzi: What do they gain by holding back pricing? GM is already released the pricing for the G8 and it won't even come until March. Shit, fully loaded it's 33K and it should beat an IS350 no problem. And I can get a GM discount, and it actually does apply to the G8 as well. My Mitsu discount it seems does not:(

^ I dont get it, people say that the dodge caliber srt-4 is a peice of sh*t when it shares the same engine and chassis with the X does that mean the X is a peice of sh*t to? same goes for hyundai to but they were the lead builder on the 4b11 engine but people dont think they should be compared to mitsu.

Any car from an American automaker is a pos. The end.

My opinion has nothing to due with whether or not you like American cars. I just hate how Mitsu is going to business with the Evo X. Everyone, has there own tastes but hell, at least Subaru has released their STI pricing and so has GM with the G8, and that car will not be out till March!!!!Mitsu, wtf????

I think that we are all going nuts waiting for just the damn price.

Does anynoe know why they dont produce larger production and think of selling more of them at a fair price instead of having giant mark up on the few that make it to the dealer.

It will never outsell the Camry, and I wouldn't want it to. I understand your logic though, but they might only be able to turn them out so fast.

They'd sell more Nintendo Wiis if they could make them faster...they just can't.

That's the worst part. It was a customer of mine who just picked up his car and we were on our way to a Lancer meet out in PA.

Eek. Was it the guy who imported the X?

The more they wait the more I investigate other possible options. This weekend I almost convinced myself to get a 135i. If the pricing is released and it's a good price I will stop looking and anticipate my evo. Until that happens I'm going to shop. Get your shit together Mitsu.

I am in no way flaming the dealers or KMX, I think Mitsu corporate is crazy. I think we are all becoming crazy over this. I agree, go shopping, competition will help make the evo X competitive.

As a side note, I am glad KMX is ok, RIP to Lancer Enthusiast. Everyone should wear their seltbelt.

Any car from an American automaker is a pos. The end.

yes, tell that to the G8 drivers that are going to pass you by! LOL, and they paid less! And have leather! And have a 100,000 mile powertrain warranty! LOL:)

Well, FWIW, domestics have a price advantage because they don't have to pay import fees and such, but at the end of the day, they do that so you're more likely to buy american cars.

Good price for the car though.

Ironically, the G8 is being manufactured in Australia. So how import rules go I am not sure. I do know that I can get GM friends and family discount.

The G8 is not bad but the new S-AWD is what I am getting the Evo for. It would take alot of money to make the G8 even close to the Evo in handling.Its not that fast in a straght line in stock form but tell me of one generation Evo that you can't make faster.

They hold back pissing us off. It's a big decision...and they want to wring the most money out of us that they can without pricing themselves out of the market.

Just because the engine and chassis have similar ROOTS does not make that the same.

Two brothers can have the same "roots" but end up being completely different people.

Hell, the Ford Contour shared the same platform as a Jaguar...and the Mustang is based off of a Mercury Grand Marquis chassis (or something similar to that).

obviously mitsubishi is a piece of shit car company, and they have been dissappointing me for what seems like every week with the news of the evo x and its launch in the u.s

but i'm still buying one, lol.

The lack of pricing & release dates is worrisome. Subie has the STi prices, and as I undertsand, cars to deliver 1st hafl of Jan. BMW has prices on 135i and M3 set, as well as release dates. I can't see paying >$45K for an SST with Nav & Aero kit. If the SST is delayed beyond March then Mitsu is going to drive away a lot of customers.

So is there any word about the price? I am getting realy tired of this price game.

Nope, but I am checking tomorrow.......

No pricing yet?

no pricing yet but you can pre-order one

lol, this shit is funny.

The most I'm willing to pay for an EVO x:

$36K MR base
$33K GSR base

If the car accelerated like a ix you could add about $5K. But that doesn't seem to be the case.

$5K? That's nuts.

It will probably be able to accelerate the same for under $1K worth of mods.

true plus with 5k will get you more then just acceleration.

Anybody have any idea when or if Mitsubishi is going to release a price?

Soon. Mitsu is currently updating their website.

So maybe today wouldn't that be nice.

Monday maybe

apparently not soon enough.

I thought it would be today or tomorrow well let's see......
I'm getting impatient

Wonder what is taking them so long? They did mention that they want to be price below STI by around 1-2k, perhaps they are working on that?

Can't wait till Mitsubishi releases the prices!:godance:

Just got back from the corporate offices here in the North East Region. They are keeping mum about everything. The corporate offices, after the renovations, are huge, to say the least. They didn't allow me to take photos inside the building though.

Interesting tid-bit was that I swung by our Nissan dealership and they had gotten the info yesterday on 4 GT-Rs that are in-bound. They were all spoken for by the end of the Saturday business day. One signed contract that came back in noted the selling price of $40k over sticker. Some lucky salesperson at Nissan just made his month.

So much for it being half the cost of a 911.

Wow. I think it may end up being a while before I get my X if there are markups like that...

Hey Kerri,

It wasn't the X that was marked up 40K over sticker. It was my Nissan dealership's GT-R. Sorry about the confusion.

Yes, GT-R != GSR.

The dealers on this forum will be selling for MSRP or less, so we're in good shape. :)

who's selling for less than msrp?

Another Monday and still no price :wtfsign:.

Mitsubishi makes-u-bitchy

I assume its only for GSRs

good point^

I think they would release pricing for all trim levels and packages at once. Just because they have delayed one trim level doesn't mean they won't release pricing.

My Sources says that the Evo X price will be released in Canada in time for the Montreal Cars Show which I think is Jan 18th.

I got the same information from my source. The dealership's techs are getting trained as we speak.

I do hope KMX is right about this. Or else Im going to NJ and gunning him down. :jk:

So once we know the price, when is the GSR coming out in Feb?

Predictions on Canadian pricing? I keep hearing over $40K and usually at least $42-$44K.

Let me make a guess:
08 Evo X GSR MSRP = $41,998 plus $1,245 freight and $250 pdi for a total of $43,493

Comes with a free tube of lube!!! (they are gonna rape you, they just don't want you bleeding on the cloth seats)
