But the Evolution is Mitsubishi's only powerful car (sorry eclipse owners) Every car company has "that one car". I understand that they're gonna go in a "new direction" perhaps green even, but I really really doubt they are gonna up and dump their only claim to fame. Sure their other cars are great, but Mitsu won't leave it's most loyal customers (us) in the dust.

lol, let's go over this one more time.
The point is this:
1. 99.9% of the time, investing in cars is silly. The Evo is no exception. If you think you're going to make a dime off of it, you're kidding yourself.
2. The Supra may hold it's retail value better than most, but it's no where near breaking even, let alone a good investment

Cars are an expense and a luxury that's all, they're never a good investment choice
look at my case I just put $5k down on the Evo... money I could have double with swing trades in a few months or money I could've put down on the house to shorten the break-even period down a year maybe ...but hey, you live and you die... or is it, you live and you learn?

I get what you're saying lol I was just pointing out a few things

Hey guys, im in the market for an Evolution. Was wondering if it would be wiser to wait for the 2012 model, and how long of a wait that might be. Also, any upcoming changes would be appreciated as well.
Also, if I do end up waiting, and there aren't any significant changes, what kind of price drops might we expect for 2011 GSRs still on lot?

This has been floating around for years. The 2010 was the last one, the 2009 was the last one....I think mits just says this stuff to sell more cars. There will be a 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016... and each of those will be the last one

I would probably pick up an '11 if given the choice. The savings off of the window sticker would make that worth it to me. Sure it's nice to have the latest model year in your garage but in the long run is it really worth it when you'll be paying a premium for it. I bought my '08 brand new in '09 and saved a lot of money, sure I could of waited for the '10s to come out but other than the new gauge display I didn't see the benefit of paying more money.

I'm in the same boat 11 or 12...my thoughts are to wait until Mitsu puts out a press release giving the details about the changes to the 2012 model. Then I'm basing my decision from that..if I like a certain option they make standard or add a minor detail I like I may just order a 12...also as someone else mentioned...if you order it you dont need to worry about finding one just the way you like from inventories in your area which can be sparse at times.
