I'm sure if you wait 10 more years, you can get a V6 Evo at 2500lbs. All the AYC, ACD goodies, twin turbo, titanium built engine, 285mm tires all around, with optional NOS.

Why do they do what???? To me, it just the fact that the cars gets better and better as the years go by. So you expect that the 2005 EVO or any car for that matter would be the same as 2003???? So should the EVO today be the same as the EVO I??? It is just EVOlution.

ACD and AYC aren't new. AYC has been around since the Evo 4. He's just saying we should have received all of the electronic diffs from the beginning just like all the other evos overseas. We still aren't getting AYC. Kinda sux.

We got it without AYC and ACD to help keep the price down until they could develop a market here in the US. Evo's in the UK used to start @ $45,000. Besides I hate to think about the cost of that stuff to fix since mits. would probably do it's usual warrenty sidestep.

To me...it is still normal. Don't you guys know that we in the US of A don't get the same goods as the stuff that is in the originating country or other countries?? Look at all the cool phones that Japan already has or in Hong Kong. It takes like half a year to get the same model here as in Hong Kong! Some of the them never even make it here!!!!

Personally.. my 2004 EVO 8.. has all the power and handling that I need. 10 more horses... or ACD/AYC.. while nice would not be worth any more money to me.

We already can do 0-60 in less than 5sec.. and 71.x in the 600ft slalom. That is super car territory. Why complain that NEXT year a more expensive car will be incrementally better?!?

With the way the economy is going and the way Mitsubishi is trying to survive, we will see what will happen to the prices and options on the upcoming Evos.
