mitsu delivered its allocation of MRs at the beginning of the '06 model year, just as it did with the '05 MRs. at many dealerships, the GSRs began arriving a few weeks later. this may (partially) explain why there's an inordinate amount of IX MRs on the street now.

Data is from a reliable source.
More MR's 'could' be made if demand is there, a lot of the parts are installed at the US port of entry (zero lift kit for example).

Having owned performance Mitsubishi cars for decades, I can tell you that anyone buying a Mitsubishi for resale value is sorely misguided. I personally bought a GG non-MR IX with SSL because I like a sunroof and I can make the car go a whole lot faster by spending the extra money on better than MR performance parts.
