Add to these Canadian MSRP/Wholesale prices any dealer mark-up (was listed as $3,000 at Vancouver Mitsu)! Really, if these are sitting in the showrooms as they appear to be doing, you have some room to play. You do have your work cut out for you as the dealers seem to look at these cars like meal tickets. Tell them you are considering an STI instead, and let them know the difference in equipment, and the amount the dealers are willing to take off the price (anywhere from $1,000 to $2,000 or more!). Also let them know that their GSR has less equipment but costs $10,000 more than in the US, and that if you wait you will probably be able to import a used Evo X next year when Canada harmonizes the bumper safety requirements with the US (they are already doing so for the immobilizers).

Just rediculous!
