Nice post, Jackygor!

I agree with the testers' personal preferences for the GSR (as I have from the start when I just started learning about the Evo X) and they have proven the MR to eek out the best lap times. If I could live with a small sedan I would probably go with the Evo X GSR in Canada.

Sweet!

Nice find plus good news supposedly!

*The Evo MR rides more comfortably than its GSR stablemate, yet clicks off superior lap times. And it offers more equipment than an Office Depot at a price that is projected to undercut the STI.*

Great article but it's the first I've seen that anyone expects an Evo MR to come in at LESS than US $36k. Maybe Mitsu just got a big settlement from the transmission vendor for the delays and is lowering the price of the MR accordingly....:-D

Very interesting information about MR! They said it is more refined! So i guess the GSR is a bit more frantic?

MR seems to be having the same problem as it did with the previous GSR where it loses power up top, so I expect it to be around the same speed as the GSR when it is in production. I wonder why the MR is faster than the GSR in Best Motoring?

I wonder why the STI can launch so much harder than the evo...

Can you imagine what the MR could do after they work out the bugs.:rock:

No, I'd rather do it myself in the GSR. All I want are the MR wheels. :drive:

this makes me laugh, looking back a few months ago when all the haters said:

- the evo would be way more $ than the 9 (it only went up about $500)

- the evo would be way slower than the 9 (while it is slower a bit, nothing drastic)

- that the sti would loose weight and thus, annihilate the X

looks like the evo X is still a winner

maybe some of this info shuts up some people from the site.i'm sure later it will be getting better and better.

When TAS photos and pricing were posted on evom forums I've noticed most of the haters got stfu'ed. I love it.
Good thing this forum never really had that problem.

Don't forget that the MR has an extra gear, so that helps deliver more power to the ground.

Guys on Evo M love to hate.

That's because we're dedicated to the X, not previous evos. This is a MUCH better environment for X owners.

:amen:

 

[EzeE1o]

i would say im a fan of all evos...its just that im more of a "complete car" evo guy and not a "balls out performance" evo guy, and to me the X is a car more my style

 

[Kooldino]

I couldn't have put it better myself.

The problem with most of the evom guys is that they're so overly concerned with the .3 second quarter mile deficit that the X has that they can't look past it to see how the car is better in practically every other way.

They sound like a bunch of babies, it gets tiring listening to them whine in every single freakin' thread. Just because they have an opinion doesn't mean everyone needs to hear them. God, they are the biggest bunch of whining idiots!

feel better now :bowlol:

 

[cksdayoff]

i'm a big fan of STis and Evos. My dream car was an Evo 9 and that was what I was planning on getting, but my heart is set on the X.
