well now i don't feel so bad for getting a regular MR. i hate the stitching and the lip. the wheels however could look really good, but i still prefer the flat grey.

It doesn't look like that evo has the vortex generator on it. Maybe its just the angle of the pictures tho. Could that possible be the IX SE and not the MR w/appearance package?

You can see the antenna coming out which I think belongs to the vortex generator.

No "WOW" factor in the SE !

I guess it is just the angle of the picture, but all evos have an antenna there.

Why all the hate for the SE? I like it a lot. The main reason I want one is so I can get the HID headlights without getting the ssl package cause I dont want the leather seats. Also I can get the aluminum roof and bbs wheels without getting an MR. Plus I like the new wheel finish better. I like the new front lip as well but its nothing drastic. I like how it will make it a little different than all the others as will the red stitching. Overall, I am happy with it.

So I was skimming through www.kbb.com looking at the Evos when I saw an upgrade package as "Special Edition Package." It seems to be mostly cosmetics with the only real performace benefit of the aluminum roof. I am guessing that leather will not be available on the GSR with the SE package. You decide on a GSR with SSL or SE? Decisions, decisions,....

I just looked again and the MR has an "Appearence Package." It's the SE package for the MR.

Sorry if it's a repost.

Another big part about the SE is just being unique, you know you dont have something youll see 1000000 times on the road.

yeah those were my exact thoughts too when i took those pics.. no WOW factor. just different colors. i thot it looked pretty good at first but now i think all the different colors for everything make the car look tacky. only thing i would love to keep are those rims. i LOVE those rims. u cant see the black finish because it only shows at some angles. its like the diamond black finish on the other bbs rims, the CH's. at some angles the inner spoke lines look like a polished metal and other angles it looks glossy black. hard to explain but u need to see them in person. when somebody gets an SE, SELL MR UR RIMS!!

i have to say i'm glad i didn't wait for the SE MR. I was hoping for something better. If you had a choice between a regular MR that looks good or a MR SE that looks unigue, what would you choose?



I saved myself time and $500 bucks by not waiting for this car.

Thrilling Visual and Performance Enhancements at an Excellent Value Distinguish 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution SE

July 31, 2006 -- CYPRESS, Calif. -- Mitsubishi Motors North America (MMNA) is applying the "Special Edition"; treatment to its critically acclaimed ninth-generation Lancer Evolution. The 2006 Lancer Evolution SE offers special features at a competitive price of $33,249 MSRP to make this legendary performance vehicle even more thrilling. The new SE trim level represents the final enhancement to a Lancer Evolution body style that has been on sale in the U.S. market since 2003.

Inside the Special Edition trim level, supportive, red-stitched RECARO(R) seats accentuate the interior while the exterior receives a new front airdam extension that adds style while reducing front end lift. A lightweight aluminum roof panel, also found on the Lancer Evolution RS and MR, helps control body roll by lowering the vehicle's center of gravity. The feather weight 17"; forged BBS(R) alloy wheels, now in a new "Diamond Black"; finish, add style while reducing unsprung weight to improve suspension performance. The SE trim level also includes high-intensity discharge (HID) headlights with halogen fog lamps giving the vehicle a distinctive look. The available exterior color choices for the Lancer Evolution SE are Apex Silver, Graphite Gray and Tarmac Black.

True to the Lancer Evolution's heritage, the SE is powered by a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder DOHC intercooled-turbocharged engine with Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing and Electronic Control (MIVEC) that is mated to a rugged 5-speed transmission.

The revised airdam, Recaro(R) seats with red stitching, and forged BBS(R) wheels with "Diamond Black"; finish are available on the MR trim level as well in the form of an Appearance Package which sells for $500.00.
