No pics yet. I just got the call today.. I hope to be rockin by the end of the week!

Nice! Which dealership is the car at?

aw snap!

God, why is mine not here yet?! Atlanta is a major city, we should have them by now. West coast has had them for like 2 weeks+ now, WTF? The wait is killing me! I can't tell you how many times the date has been pushed back already. If it happens again I'm gonna be pissed. Congrats on your's, though. I'm jealous.

No pics yet. I just got the call today.. I hope to be rockin by the end of the week!

I just got a call as well - I'm gonna go take a look at it after work... only have my Iphone Camera that takes crap pictures... but it's PB... and I really want to see what the hype about it is all about :) I'll post pics later :)

They have phantom black??

Ohhh, you better get a pic of the PB!

There is a PB GSR in Vancouver, didn't take pictures. It looked more black than I expected in the lights of the showroom. Not like some of the early pictures that looked more grey, like Graphite Grey. This was black, but a good black! :) There appeared to be some gold in the metallic flake. I was told it is available for sale.

They have phantom black??

Yup, and don't worry - I'll take pics... the dealer's on the way to work, so I'll probably grab my gf's D40 to take some nice pics... and hopefully capture the colour that everyone's raving about :)

They have PB at my dealer-Markham Mitsubishi, and I am supposed to be getting the first one but they didn't call me. Dixie Mitsu called me about them getting a white one in. So maybe thats not mine. If not, I might pull the deposit and go elsewhere..

Dude!! White one at Dixie! Done! I'm there!!!

well PB is a MR ONly color so how do yall have MR's already we only have gsr so far (Dallas TX) but the dealer ship i go to has like 5 gsr's, lol but i want octane blue (gsr ONLY color), i have wet dreams about it.......:tumbleweed:

PB is no longer an MR only color.

Dixie only called to let me know that they have one if I want to see it. My deposit is w Markham Mitsu for the PB GSR. I am at work right now so I sent Nikki up there to find out what is going on w my order and to check them out for herself.
They said mine is in Vancouver and is still two weeks away. :( The PB GSR they have already is sold to someone else, as is the GG one they have. Nikki liked the GG one a lot in person but they both looked good from what she could see through all the plastic.
Both cars are in the back shop, not on display yet.

FWIW, she said the rear bumper doesn't look anywhere near as bad as it does in photos. She asked them why its different just to get them to give an official response and they didn't understand or didn't want to understand her question so after they kept trying to tell her some crap about how the rear diffuser is for the higher hp or something while she was plainly asking about the upper piece, she finally gave up asking. Haha!

EVOR, the white one is in Dixie's showroom apparently..

Oh, and they confirmed the MR is delayed to September/October due to transmission difficulties. They just got informed..

^^ dee deet d dee deet BREAKING NEWS . . . BREAKING NEWS . . . MR DELAYED AGAIN!!!

How many times will they keep doing this to us!!!!!

Oh, and they confirmed the MR is delayed to September/October due to transmission difficulties. They just got informed..

M*ther fu*cker

So I went to Markham Mitsubishi to check out the Evo's. Like LowUFO said, they're at the back and not in the show room. I managed to snap some pictures of one of them. Contrary to what LowUFO said, they both appear to be GG to me. Maybe it's the dirty glass they have there. Anyway, here are some of the crappy phone pictures:

I spoke to the Sales Mgr, myself, and he said one black, one GG. And they took Nikki into teh shop and let her sit in the black one.

Hey Guys, Just returned from a long trip from two dealerships.... saw one in PB.... it's NICE... just imagine a very dark GG with a lot of fine metallic specs..... didn't take pics because the car is dirty and grimey.... and it was kinda dark so I don't think the colour would've stood out. The salesman let me sit in it.... the Recaros are a dream come true!

Interestingly enough, the car looks aggressive because of the fender flares... and not the crazy hood/front end.... I'm sure the areo kit will accentuate that more though.

Thanks LowUFO... I did go to Dixie... the white's a really beautiful colour and the rims look great on it.... they cleaned that one up, so I took pictures... the guys at Dixie are pretty cool too :) I'll post those pics shortly....

Oh... and lastly, I noticed that all Canadian GSRs come with Fogs... and the driver side foglight bracket actually blocks most of that airduct (short of four small holes at the top).

Oh, and they confirmed the MR is delayed to September/October due to transmission difficulties. They just got informed..

wait a minute, i hope it is only Canada with the MR delays.

the MRs for the U.S are still on track to be released in March/April RIGHT? RIGHT?

^ I'm gonna say that IF the delay is true, then it would affect all markets..

Oh, and they confirmed the MR is delayed to September/October due to transmission difficulties. They just got informed..

Say it isnt so. Can anyone else confirm this?

man that would absolutely blow cheetah cock, but if there is a positive to this, i can save up a little bit more to put into my deposit.

i'll believe it when i see it in some sort of official announcement.

I might as well preorder an 09 Nissan GTR.

^ I'm gonna say that IF the delay is true, then it would affect all markets..

except Japan apparently.

At double the MSRP????

Oh, and they confirmed the MR is delayed to September/October due to transmission difficulties. They just got informed..

Wonder if this translates to RallyArt delays as well since they'll share transmition?

In some ways I would think not, because the Ralliart engine has less power so the SST problems should be less. I think overheating is one of the main problems Mitsubishi is dealing with, and with lower power overheating should be less of a problem.

And understeered less! How to fix that?

I heard USDM STI has crappy tires, so once those are change it should understeer less.

I don't understand Mitsubishi, I will be more than happy if they just throw in the 5MT in the MR. The people who REALLY wants the SST can wait for it :bowlol:

Well, just came back from dinner at some friends' house. Before that...I was at a dealer that has the following two cars...

Here is the kicker..They have agreed to sell me the black one early next week after i get my deposit back from Markham Mitsu. They said as long as they have one car for their showroom, they are willing to sell me the other. So it should be parked in my underground by this time next week...


http://i30.tinypic.com/s5b674.jpg

http://i32.tinypic.com/20j24i0.jpg

And no, I won't be driving it until the temperature goes above 10 degrees here..

Asked about the MR?

PB is the best colour! FTW!

Chitty that we don't get the SSS package. Looks kinda like a lancer to the untrained eye. Black or white FTW!

Yeah, looks too much like the GTS. Then again, I think the new STI looks too much like the regular Impreza wagon, at least from the rear.

I think it is just about equal in terms of the similarity btwn WRX vs STI and Lancer GTS and Evo X. I saw my first 08 STI around 2 weeks ago from up front, I only recognized it because of that little STI badge on the front grill. lol

What I want to know is any of the PB GSR a preorder ?
Here in the US we just had the option to order the PB like 3 weeks ago.

Awesome news!! :) You mind if I ask which dealer? I wouldn't mind taking a look at the blue Evo :)

Jackygor, yeah they confirm the delay on the MR.

Evor, its in Ajax. I like the blue one. but I don't like the unwanted attention that bright colored cars brings..

And no, I won't be driving it until the temperature goes above 10 degrees here..
Yah have fun in the snow the stock tires suck so bad in the snow. Snow tires are a must and they are about $1000 US.

Well, fortunately, the gf has her Mazda 3 til June and I put winters on that. So the EVO can stay tucked up until the weather turns.

Octane Blue is amzeing, i want that color the most its so bad.

Has anyone actually taken possession of the Evo X in Toronto? Does anyone know the lease/finance rates that they are offering and residual??

Nobody has one yet. Most dealers aren't releasing them til after the Canadian Int'l Auto Show. Thats when Mitsu is rolling out their program. But the dealer where I am buying mine from is letting me have the car early and the rate is high..7.9%

Yup, however, most dealerships has AT LEAST one on the showroom, for promotional purpose. But I think most has at least another in stock, even the small dealership I ordered from has 2 in stock.

But the dealer where I am buying mine from is letting me have the car early and the rate is high..7.9%

Not only are they screwing us on price, but on rate as well.

I can't wait to sell my LegacyGt so I can finally order my 335i. With this kind of rate, the 335i is cost less even though the price is higher. I wanted the EVO, but I won't pay Bimmer money for a turbo Lancer. Thumbs down to Mitsu.

So this rate isn't a mitsubishi rate, but probably a rate from another leasing company?

So this rate isn't a mitsubishi rate, but probably a rate from another leasing company?

Oh yeah, probably,didn't think about that. :p

If Mitsu wants to move some cars I have a feeling they will have to offer very good incentives. The GSR is under-equiped, is 10k$ more than the same car in the US. other than the hardcore EVO lovers, I don't see who will spend that kind of money for this car. :wallbash:

I guess time will tell.

Yeah, I believe its supposed to be a Mitsu rate, but maybe because they haven't rolled out a program yet, he's approximating or maybe they'll go elsewhere to get me in the car early. They'll hope to use the fact that its a rare car as a way of getting more coin. And I'll go for it. But if they try to go a point over 8%, I'm off to Lexus for an is350.

Under-equipped-For sure. I sat in the one I'm buying and it was the first thing I noticed. It just feels like there's nothing in it. But, I'll worry about that later. If I wanted a well equipped car, I'd not be buying it. I can re-visit that later after I work on the performance, and wheel/tire/suspension issues.

One thing I noticed as well, is that the stock wheels and tires don't look as bad in person. Which is good, because I'll not be able to afford to replace them until September. But for now, I'll buy 12mm H and R spacers and extended studs if necessary, and prolly some lowering springs to help counter the excessive body roll.

I called my local dealer and he said that the rate was 8.75%:wtfsign:
I'm hoping he's just quoting a leasing company lease rate, and not the mitsubishi leasing program rate. I still think they'll be competetive to the STI rates at 5.9%. But again, we won't know until closer to the Toronto Autoshow.

I had a good price on a IS350. But I didn't like the auto-tranny. So I'm now buying a BMW 3 series. I haven't yet decided between the 328 and 335. Performance wise, sure the 335 beats the crap out of the 328. But for the price, the 328 offers a nice blend of power, handling and luxuries. I will probably go for the 335 anyway.

I am still kinda wishing Mitsu gets a rabbit out of their hat. I was really decided on the EVO. But Mitsu is really doing everything it can to make me buy something else. Especially if the rumour about the MR is true. Up until I finally sell my LegacyGt and buy a 335i I will wish that the MR comes to Canada and can be bought for 45kcan$ or less. If not, too bad, a 335i it will be.

8.75! Ouch! And I was told by Markham Mitsu that they expect 6.1% or so but they're not sure. Pickering Mitsu told me it could be as high as 8%. This could be a deal killer. Haha!

Are these lease or finance rates being quoted? I know you can get 6.89% finance rate on an auto loan through the Canadian banks at the dealers, or negotiate your own bank loan before you go to the dealer. A non-manufacturers leasing company lease is not a good idea right now. Anyway, make sure your lease is closed ended (e.g., Westminster Savings credit union does OPEN ENDED leases only), especially in this volatile used car market! You do not want to be left holding the bag for negative equity on your leased vehicle at lease end.

I'm not leasing. Finance over four years for sure.

Well, its not looking like a deal for me.

Car +freight, pdi, paint surcharge=$44,002

Taxes=$5,720.26

Total=$49,722.26

Interest rate 10.25%= payments over four years of $1139.65
payments over five years of $955.73
payments over six years of $834.17

Bollocks to that! I'll go buy a 2007 G35 for $35k and slum it for a while..

Jackygor, yeah they confirm the delay on the MR.

Evor, its in Ajax. I like the blue one. but I don't like the unwanted attention that bright colored cars brings..

Ajax eh?! Maybe I should check it out.... I guess I'll have to see the blue.... but my Civic is similar to that colour (I'm guessing) and it doesn't really solicit any attention :)

Heh, and here I thought I was the only one thinking that :| At least now I know I'm not that far off the mark. But yeah, I feel exactly the same way, great car... but not with this kind of pricing. At the same time, I do REALLY want an Evo... (the USDM one that is... with options :))

Interest rate 10.25%= payments over four years of $1139.65


Is that Mitsu's rate or your bank's?

Mitsu's rate!!

^ WTF!!??

Just when I thought Mitsu couldn't get any more ridiculous with their pricing.

Well done Mitsu.

evo's are great but overchargeing them is NOt the way to make money.

10.25%:wtfsign: Might as well put it on a business visa card. You can seriously get a better rate walking into any bank for a loan.
I hope the lease rates aren't as ridiculous.

Shop around for a better rate!!!

Shop around for a better rate!!!

werd:+1:
dont stick around just in one place because they have the cars.

Lots ofo dealers have the EVO X now. THey're all calling us saying they have the car if we want one. But they all use TD Bank to finance it. And I don't want a lease as it doesn't do anything to help build credit rating.

TD Bank? And you were quoted 10.25%? The dealer is trying to make some serious coin off of you. Ask the dealer point blank to see the rate sheet they have been given by the bank. There is a rate, the lowest, at which the dealer makes $0. Anything more than that and the dealer makes more money. It can mean a few hundred extra dollars to the dealer, and a couple thousand dollars cost to you in extra financing costs. My auto loan is with the TD Bank and it was 6.89%. Since the Bank of Canada rate has gone down recently the lowest offered rates may even come down more. Subaru's rate on the STI is even better, 5.9%, and only 2.9% for the Legacy, but I took bank financing to take advantage of the non-stackable cash rebate.

Looks like they finally got around to adding the evolution to the canadian website. Finance rate is posted at 8.25%. Doesn't look like they are going to be selling accessories for any of the trim levels this year. Hopefully parts like the MR rear wing will be readily available in the US.

Looks like Canadians get 5 year bumper to bumper and 10 year drivestrain for the evo as well. 59k+tax for MR premium...:whipping::freak:

edit: I have a feeling that we are getting the MR before the states, since we can even build on the site now.

It's 51,500 for the MR premium. Which is still crazy money. Almost as crazy as the default 5-7 year financing when you click on the payment estimator :p

I'm back from the dealer where I saw a red GSR on display. Nice car for sure.

But he told me no leases on the EVOX. :wtfsign:

Mitsu, you ARE A BUNCH OF MORONS! I need to lease. My daily driver is paid by my company, a lease is MUCH LESS of a pain to dedeuct from taxes than a finance (and more favorable too).

Right after I went to my Subie dealer. They gave me 2000$ off right off the bat! The car is LOADED with everything. On a 48/mth lease it ends up at 760$ taxes IN!

If anyone at Mitsubishi is reading this PLEASE, GO DO YOUR FUCKIN HOMEWORK! Every car you're trying to compete with cost less (payment/mth) even if they are more expensive (MSRP). Every car has a lease option. I don't know what you're smoking, but it is REALLY good.

My car (LegacyGT) is for sale. Even though I REALLY wanted an EVO, because of all this, it is now dead last on my short list. That now reads like this:
-BMW 335i
-STi
-BMW 328i
-IS350
-EVO

I predict a very short life expectancy of the EVO in Canada. ESPECIALLY if Transport Canada removes the stupid bumper rule. I feel mad because the car I really wanted to buy has been made even harder to obtain by Mitsubishi. :mad:

I feel your pain brother...! I really really wanted to get an Evo X as well. After the pricing was released I narrowed it down to a 335i and 08 STI. It was tough choosing between the two but I ended up getting a 08 STI.

I'm so jealous of all the I've got an EVOX today below MSRP thread, SSS package etc threads that is posted by peeps in the US.

Way to go Mistu for screwing up launching the EVO X in Canada. I can just see it now when Mitsu drops the price next year and screws the early adoptors.

Are you sure about the warranty?? I think is 3yrs BtoB / 5yrs Powertrain.

Looks like Canadians get 5 year bumper to bumper and 10 year drivestrain for the evo as well. 59k+tax for MR premium...:whipping::freak:

edit: I have a feeling that we are getting the MR before the states, since we can even build on the site now.

Different story at every Mitsu dealer. Pickering are saying that they will lease me an EVO if I wanted to go that route. Others are saying no leases.

Arthur, you considering an EVO?

The warranty is 5 year powertrain, 3 year ltd warranty and 3 year roadside assistance.

Yeah i was thinking about giving up this whole winter beater summer car crap and just go with something new. The MR really had me interested, but from the looks of things Mitsu is asking too much for the car. I'm still considering a GSR but without the MR tranny it's alot less interesting.

its about 35,000 36,000 dollars for a BASIC GSR with the SSS aero package.........good deal or not?

The warranty is 5 year powertrain, 3 year ltd warranty and 3 year roadside assistance.

Not sure, here is the thing I got off comparing the STI with the evo x...

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a92/jackyhung1234/evo-x-2.gif

here is the proof! :thumbup:

Anyone hear anything about the lease rates and residuals??

Sorry to say that is not proof. lotz of the specs are wrong. Anyways I'm pretty sure that I saw on the mitsu site that is 3yr/5yr warranty. If it was 10year powertrain I could justify paying a the extra Cdn $$$ for an Evo.

True, however, I haven't been able to find, on the Canadian site anyways, anything saying 3 year bumper to bumper and 5 year drive strain warranty for the evo.

This is based on Mitsu's regular 10/5/5 warranty for all their other vehicles.

toosteeley is correct, its right on the window sticker of the Evo.

So is it true, there is no lease program for the EvoX here in Canada??

I've been really interested in getting one of these but after going down to the dealer here in Abbotsford, BC last week I have given up on that.
What a rip off the Canadian pricing is!! :mad:
They can shove it.
I imported a 911 last fall from Dallas and it was no problem.
I can import a 2yr. old V8 Cayenne or a BMW 5 Series for the same money.
Too bad they felt they could hose us. Good luck.
:bsflag:

sry bout that man, mitsu is preatty gay lately with the price.....its so stupid

I went to my dealer last week and the manager kinda tried to convinced me that the 10,000$ mitsu charges over the US price was worth it. His reasonning is that you can't import a US Evo. Yeah I know, but Mitsu still screws us.

Just so you know, I almost, almost ordered a BMW 335i today. I am this >< close to order a Bimmer.

Thumbs down to Mitsu. But for some obscure reason, I keep on coming to this forum daily. I think deep inside I am wishing that Mitsu is gonna do something about the pricing. Ah well, I love the car, but I won't be ripped off buying it. That's for sure.

All you Canadians should get together a petition to send through to MMC, that pricing is a disgrace.

No need... I'm sure most of us, like me will petition by buying another car!

Just went Stage 2 on my 08 STI and the thing is a beast! I would rather be posting about Mods done to an EVO X. Nice work Mitsu on Evo introduction in Canada!

Still waiting for a post about a Canadian buying the Evo. If Mitsu doesn't do something about the pricing in Canada soon most of you guys will own other cars as well.

stage 2 already?

Had money down on a x as well... was really interested in a MR. first deal breaker was the 3 year warranty, the announced CDN price for the MR was next, then the delays, not to mention the list of people wanting a MR instead of a gsr (in Cowgary anyways).

long story short, bought a STI instead, looked at it when they unloaded it on the 20th, picked it up on the 26 of January. I would have liked the MR but didn't feel it was worth the wait , premium or the obscene interest rate mitsu wanted to charge. Subaru only charged 5.9% and i can pay it out no penalty after the first payment. with the sticker price of $45k fully loaded, i can spend the difference on upgrades to the subie. see ya at the track!

Buz , can't blame you buddy. It looks like ALOT of people pulled their deposits. I could have sworn "500 already are presold" yet I only know of 5 or 6 that are actually on the roads in all of Canada, lol!

So after Mitsu tried to bend me over and lube for penetration, I yanked my deposit and went and bought this..

http://i27.tinypic.com/jt88dv.jpg

It cost me less w way more features, and way more luxury. Ok, I lose in the performance arena, but I win in the finance dept..

I'll add an exhaust, intake, and a reflash. I'll lower it on some H&R springs, and tint the windows then just drive it til I can trade it in on something way faster...

Nice... I would of done the same thing if the A.3 2.0t came in quattro. Yes definitely get a APR chip on it and be done.


I think I'll start a thread on Canadians getting other cars since Mitsu decide to shaft us on the pricing and options department.

Very nice car. 2.0T? DSG? Looks like S-line?

Interesting situation developing with Mitsu. marketing in Canada.
At least 4 people or more on this board have changed their minds.
How long before Mitsu. lowers the price or will they just refuse and look at them on the lot.

Yeah, I got the 2.0T 6spd w S-Line, Tech pkg, cold weather pkg, pearl paint, iPod, upgraded 18" wheels, and power driver seat for under $40k plus 5.9% financing and 4yr/80k warranty. I really wanted an A4 w quattro and S-Line, but the price was a bit more and I really liked this when I saw it.

It definitely needs APR or GIAC reflash, but it will be fun.

Nice choice! I've been considering an Audi myself. An 06-08 A4 2.0T Quat. preferably. Less money and more features compared to the Evo.. Ugh, this going back and forth is killer.

Good price.

yeah, price was decent. I really would have preferred an A4 as I can't really see myself as a hatch driver. But the price was right, so without going to a used car, this seemed like a good choice.

Congrats on the new car!

I'm sure Mitsu won't be changing anything unless they have trouble selling in the summer. I want them to do well for bringing the car here, but i want them to do poorly so they price it more inline with the US.. can't win em all I guess.

Thx Art. Yeah, they need to get that 8.25% interest rate down to a competitive 5.9% like the STi and bring the price down to $38k cdn base price and they'd have a winner..

Sorry if i'm off topic, but can someone tell me if the MR is coming anytime soon.
