Evo x pricing from Edmunds
SCOTTSDALE, Arizona — Mitsubishi today announced pricing for the highly anticipated 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X. The estimated price for the base-level, five-speed manual-transmission-equipped Evo GSR is $34,000. The MR model outfitted with Mitsubishi's new six-speed dual-clutch transmission identified as the Twin Clutch-Sequential Sportshift Transmission (TC-SST), starts at $39,000.
Mitsubishi officials say this is a conservative estimate, and hope that final pricing will come in approximately $1,000 less for each model including delivery fees. The previous Lancer Evo IX sedan started at $28,679 for the base car, and $35,189 for the MR trim.
Mitsubishi says the Lancer Evo GSR will go on sale in February, but isn't as specific regarding the Evo MR's timeline, only saying the car would be available in the spring of 2008. The vagueness seems to be connected to delays in the advanced MR's tuning.
Also announced today were official EPA ratings for the Evo X. The GSR earned 16/22 mpg for city/highway, while the paddle-shifting MR did slightly better with 17/22 mpg.
The 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X made its worldwide debut in October at the 2007 Tokyo Auto Show.

OUCH!!! Especially the MR. A fully-optioned MR will be over $40K. Damn...
BTW, that's the exact pricing my dealer told me nearly a month ago. Looks like my dealer finally got something right...
The delays are also troubling...especially for the MR...looks like the initial reports of problems with SST are pushing back the arrival date...

EPA re-did all the stats for 2008. Most every car manufactuer lost 2 MPG compared to 2007 models. http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/findacar.htm
The old 6 speed car was rated 18/24 back in 2006. Had this same car been rated today, it would have 16/22 on the window sticker.
Do some research before you start to complain.
