2005 Rs?????

Well i went to the mitsubishi dealership today to find out pricing on a new evo. Well it turns out they dont take them out on sunday's and when i asked the salesman about an RS he goes "they arnt making them for 2005." I go "are you sure because i think they are." Then he says that he is not 100% percent sure but this is what he has been told. Can anyone back me up on this or was this salesman correct. Going into there i was 100% sure that they were going to make them for 2005. Thanks in advance

yeah, they are definitely making them for 2005. dealerships can be stupid, one of the dealerships i talked to a month ago while shopping around for mine told me that there weren't gonna be ANY evo's for 2005. hadn't even heard of the MR.

He probably thought you meant Rallisport. Maybe being more specific would help out.

They are making the RS. I have seen them with my very own eyes at Beaverton Mitsubishi in Oregon.

Whenever a salesperson says "well that's what I was told" you can translate that to "I am feeding you this BS because I want to sell you what is on our lot and/or easily attainable so I can make my money as quickly as possible".

You can always tell when they are bull****ting you because their lips are moving.

And just to be sure:

http://www.mitsucars.com/lancerevol...ive_models.html

That link actually has the exact string you're looking for -- "2005 Lancer Evolution RS".
