My dealer in DC-metro area got pushed back from mid feb to march 10... This is not good.. anybody else hear about this rumor about assembly line problems?? or maybe they held on to them to squeese and extra 29 HP to match the sti.. better yet, 30 hp more to top it by one.. that would be amusing.. any input on why the sudden dealy would be welcome

Maybe, they suddenly realized that they where blowing smoke when they brought the specs to us and Subaru kick them in the *****, so they are trying to see whether anything can get saved!

Nothing unusual about that. Like I said before, ship dates are not etched in stone.

It must be the same ones that come on these forums and babble on and on about how much better the STi is. They know who they are...

I haven't heard people babbling about the Sti being much better than the evo's on our forums . I mostly see spec comparison and wanting to see the real track results. However what i do see is people complaining about mitsubishi not bring over the full blown version.

Then again maybe some people assume people babble on and on about how much better teh STi is when they put the Sti spec besides the Evo's They probably know who these people are...

gtr, I wasn't talking about you. I know you're looking equally at both cars, as many of us are.

San Diego area

I HEARD that there are a couple of Evo VIII's already at a dealership in Carlsbad (San Diego, CA). I actually came on to find out if this was true. Anyone in San Diego know anything?

The earliest shipment is due on 2-10-03 in Tacoma, WA. I think it's the est. date it'll be shipped to your dealer. This came from a reputable source. Again this is estimated arrival date. Maybe give or take 5 days

We've also heard there were some demos in dealerships not for sale.

I've said it before but...

The earliest ship dates I have for ANY Evo's are 2/10/03 with the second batch shipping 3/13/03. These are the dates the cars are SCHEDULED to leave the port of entry on their way to the distribution network to get them out to the dealers. What these ARE NOT are the dates cars will be arriving in a store near you. Figure another few days to a few weeks for that to happen depending on location. These dates are also not etched in stone. They could wander around a bit.

I didn't word it properly, thanks. I meant to say it's the date it'll leave Tacoma, WA.

My dealer believes my EVO will be in on 02/20/03 at the latest.

I hope he is right!!
