Probably some person won it. Definitely not one of our members. If it was one of our members, you'd see a thread "I WON I WON!!!"

I don't think Mitsu will ever post the name of the winner on any publications or web. You have to write to them to demand more info if you wish to find out. Think about it... Have you seen any sweeptakes winners announced via media or newspaper?
Just my 2 cents.

The fact that Mitsu wouldn't announce a winner is counter productive to the marketing involved with a contest. Companies give stuff away so that they can create press kits that include "Your Name here has just won a brand new Mitsu Evolution. The Evo is...blah blah blah" Otherwise there is no point in giving the car away. Then again the car that dealers have been charging 5000.00+ over MSRP on has been somewhat counter productive to their reputation anyway, so I guess it doesn't really matter.

Has the contest bits been removed from the website?

Guys, I read the fine print carefully on this one. The rules stated that the drawing would not be until March 31st. I thought most people knew this.

So keep your fingers crossed. It would be funny if someone who already owned an evo won it. I have to admit I am still very much hoping it'll be me!
