Given the trend, I think a safe estimate is around 250 a month, so 2750 or so this year.

Ya I've heard stories like that. When we bought one of the first G35Coupes, we were told 10k in 03.

15k+ cars that year later we stopped looking at the numbers.

I go into dealerships expecting to be lied to on at least one subject.

Haven't been disappointed yet!

i wonder how much it costs, to r&d the evo, then produce it and then how much they have to sell to make a profit.

i was reading somewhere a while back that it costs between 10/12k for the gt version of the eclipse. that could have been wrong though.

.... well Us being not a primary market for the EVo, it is hard to believe they send 4-5 k to here and 4k for rest of the world..
you got a well informed friend in the MMC.

To produce that version of the car? That sounds waaay off. That's, what, 1 decent engineer for a month and a half? You'd need more engineers, managers, supplies... I'd bet that's off by at least an order of magnitude.

Sorry I meant final cost of the car. (per car)

That is probably pretty close for the Eclipse.

well is this car limited or not i was read magazines saying that there is only a couple of thousands thats going to be available. when the design change and who mitsu is marketing to i dont see this car be limited edition. when the economy gets better by that time the evo will be like the mustang. the lancer is already all over the place
