Whats in the MR?
Tried googling and looking here, and mitsu's site doesn't let you build the X.
All I know that the MR has different is :
13lbs sound deadening
the SST tranny (sketchhy at best - 8k non servicable ? Ugh)
What else and do we have any idea of the base price? I'm trying to figure out if i should pick up a GSR or wait...

2 piece rotors, nicer BBS forged rims, Chrome accent around grille, leather Recaros, leather trim, HIDs, some other things I can't think of.
Price: Probably around $37k, nothing officially released yet (I based it off of estimated pricing for GSR at 35k, which dropped to 33k; MR estimated was 39k, so knock 2k off = 37k).

Is the Technology Package going to retail for $2,000? I think I remember seeing the GSR's window sticker showing it was this amount. I assume it's going to be the same for the MR. Seems fairly reasonable when comparing to competing brands out there. Nav systems alone typically set you back this much let alone an upgraded audio system, etc.

Interesting that Mitsu does not offer the "go fast" parts (2 piece rotors, bilsteins and eibach springs) on the "hard core" GSR 5 speed? Interesting marketing strategy. I guess we could just buy these parts and retrofit them to the GSR.

When they decide to give us an MR with a regular manual transmission, count me in. I'd prefer a strong 6-speed, but the 5-speed would do. I'd like to see a nice tall OD to keep the R's down on the freeway.
