BULL****....it took them forever to get this car over here and make it legal in the US, and to end it after 6000 or so sales it won't mean they lost 100,000's in R&D.

Evo will be back next year, next time a salesman says that to you kick him in the sack....Salesman don't know anything about a Car that isn't on there lot.....2 yrs ago a Ford salesman denied the existance of the Focus SVT

Actually, it can't; Romans didn't put more than 3 of the same numeral after a numeral nor more than one before a numeral.

Edit: Thus,

I
II
III
IV
V
VI
VII
VIII
IX
X
XI
XII
XIII
XIV
XV
XVI
XVII
XVIII
XIX
XX
for 1-20.

VII and VIII would be the correct representations for 7 & 8.

I actually have a cheap wall clock that has Roman numerals, and it displays the number 9 as "VIIII"!

you seem to hate car salesmen alot, but Hay what the hell would you do with out us...who the hell are you going to buy a car from...the AIR.

anyway, we have already been told that there will probably still be EVO's next year.....still in limited amounts like this year, and probably still the EVO 8

I need an EVO for next year, only 20K left to go. The selling of my body may become more of a reality, 2 grand a night.

Believe it or not, this is considered an acceptable exception for Roman numerals. Look at any Roman numeral wall clock and the 9 will be VIIII. I can't remember the reason behind it, but I think it's asthetics.

Without car salesmen, the overall process of buying a car would be much more efficient....and it would probably be cheaper too since you wouldn't have to pay for his salary at purchase time.

I wouldn't really believe anything those dealers say. They are all full of horse ****. But you never know, the Galant VR4 was only here 2 years and we NEVER saw it on our shores again. So I guess you can say..expect the unexpected, hope for the best.
