I know the ship dates for every Evo in 11 states and none of them is earlier than 2/10/03.

According to the Mitsu dealership in Lincoln, NE two evo's are arriving the first week of February. But dealer's are usually clueless...

I've had my deposit in since june.. I was #6 on list.. 1st allocations is 5 cars, 1 of each color i believe, 2 w/ sunroofs, all with big wing. luckily, some people ahead of me must have passed them up, b/c i got my color choice. I spoke to paul a bit last week when he called me by mistake, and they still didn't know much besides the allocations. I had to tell him what the official base msrp was. other from their lack of concrete knlowledge, they've been pretty straight up w/ me, no bull****ing, no making **** up when they dont know. They have the highest customer rating in the dc metro area, I dont think they'll try to screw you.
btw who, told you they were expected last week of jan? paul's been saying mid feb for the last couple of months.

HEY~!!! just got home after getting Paul's signature and the salesperson's signature on my friggin deposit receipt. Paul's asian~!!!! thats so cool...hahaha...i'm asian and my name is also paul...ok enough of that....hahahha

well anyways i spoke with PAUL personally myself(man, he looks/dresses like a millionare). He really got my hopes down because when i made my deposit(January 3rd) the salesperson told me that they will get 15 evos on their first wave and i was #12. well thats not the case anymore, Paul told me that they will get 5 in Feb and like 8 in march and so on and so forth.....all this time i thought that i will finally have my evo later this month....that just ruined my day.

anyways, after speaking with Paul, I spoke with the guy that handles all the orders and stuff...blah blah blah....bottom line: he told me that if demands are high enough (as if they're not already) then USA will get replenished with 5000 more units for the year of 2003.

Then i asked the silliest question of all:
"What will Mitsubishi do to counter the arrival of Subaru's STI?"
LOL~!!! you shouldve seen his facial expression. He looked like he just saw a ghost for a split second and just shook his head and said "i dunno..." hahahahhaha~!!!

i asked him about ralliart comin to the states, and he also had no clue about that...his response to that was "you should know, it sounds like you know more about this whole lancer evolution thing more than i do~!!" he had NO IDEA what Ralliart was...hahaha~!!

thats the impression I get.. they dont know as much as us lancerforum freaks.. but they dont pretend to know and feed us bull****.. they admit they dont know.. we should probably direct them onto here...

and yeah, paul does look pretty distinguished.
