It will be worth the wait, believe me I was waiting for an EVO for three years, and finally got mine and love it a little more everyday. In the process of my wait for an EVO, I was tempted to buy a 2002 Mercedes C32 AMG with 40k miles on it. I told the Mercedes dealer, that it was a nice car, but I think I'm just gonna get the Mitsubishi EVO IX. The Mercedes dealer told me, who in their right mind would choose a Mitsubishi product over a Mercedes AMG. I told him, normally your right, but the EVO is just BAD ***!!!

No regrets!!!

I would much rather have my EVO then a Mercedes, call me crazy but I agree with you.

Here are a few pics.






Also I wanted to give my .02 on the SSL package. The sunroof and HID's need no defense but the stereo had some pretty bad reviews from what I saw. I like the stereo very well for the type of music that I listen to at least. I usually listed to Rock/ Alternative type music and a little Rap but not much. The leather seats are also very nice, the package is well worth it IMHO.

Cheers!!
