In the first and last time I put my hands on this beast I didn´t lose my time looking to the ugly interior… This car is the best! On the “not always perfect” roads and streets we face daily, there´s no single car that can handle like this one.

awesome, sure its not quite as quick as the old one but its much more refined and a better all around car. I would love to have one of these, I can see it being a lot of fun in the winter with a nice set of snow tires…

^My wifes car has a nice interior. I still want a Evo9 RS more then this or an STI.
Anyone else going to Oregon Trail Rally this weekend?

Um, why the drive maybe the best under $45k, the interior remains the worst as well. Some people will give up the interior for driving dynamics, and all the power to those people, I just won’t. I can get a new ‘08 R32 for $28k at the dealer I bought my GTI from, I think I’d much rather have that – and $14k in the pocket.

Sti and Evo are two totally different Breeds now.. derived from what used to be the similar. both took polar opposite approaches to the new body styles.. still would be crazy to buy the new Sti over this. new Sti is poo. + .3 on a 0-60 don’t mean ****. learn the car before you worry about how quick it is. There is a point where you would not be able to get the most out of this Sedan. If your skill aren’t to par, don’t worry about +/- .3 haha. if you want a super car buy one. or just drop a third stage tune on this and enjoy happiness. Otherwise. 5.3 is damn quick Not to mention you got 4 wheels throwing you. not 2…

Power TRIP. essentially MITSUBISHI is laying out a car capable of Handling an additional +200 Hp.

BTW, Mitsubishi…PLEASE bump up the power a bit! 315-330hp would be nice. It’s kind of pathetic knowing the guy that just pulled up next to you at the light with his bright yellow Hyundai Genesis is pumping out 306HP. Really.

Having owned an ‘06 IX MR Edition in the past, I am interested in getting another one in the next couple months. Would love to get another MR, but only if they offered it in a “REAL” manual. A sequential gearbox might be useful and almost essential for the track, but on the street it is b-o-r-i-n-g.

Rumor though is that a 2010 will be announced in 2 months with some nice minor updates.

Would really love to have another one in my garage.

Cool transmission but i’m surprised they made the new MR not as hardcore as the last. I couldn’t say this last time but i’d now take a new STi over this. They got the killer looks dead on but it’s way too heavy! 5.3 to 60? This car should have been under 5!
