    Evo X... No more until 2010

    http://www.autoblog.com/2009/02/03/p...lted-for-2009/

    Mitsubishi has put production of the Lancer Evolution X on hold, saying there's enough inventory to make it through the end of the year when the 2010 model is released. Mitsubishi spokesperson Christine Jew told KickingTires that no changes were planned for the 2009 model, but the 2010 variant would benefit from a few minor revisions. Inventory tracking through Cars.com confirms that there are plenty of Evos available (887 2008 models, to be specific), but that doesn't mean the new Evo X is a flop; sales of Mitsu's rally rocket were up over 50% in 2008.
    Sales of the Evo X are huge compared to years before, but I think this is a good idea. Better than producing more crap cars that no one wants to buy.

    If you post stupid and incorrect information, you will get red nuggets.

    That isn't too surprising, the car is 50grand. I have yet to see an Evo X around here. I know of about 5 or 6 lancers, and one Evo VIII who I go to school with the owner.

    Smart move by Mitsubishi actually...its a simple law of Supply and Demand and for todays economic problems, not much demand for new cars.

    Looking forward to own one of those surplus inventory Evo X's

    I know about 10 people around here that have Evo VIIIs and IXs. Seen maybe 15 Evo Xs since they came out though.

    You wont pay 50 grand for an Evo X MR, the most is 42-45K. Quit making numbers up. Even when they came out with dealer markup they never got that high.
    Love,
    Matt

    I wasn't making it up. I haven't been down to the dealer to ask the price, I was simply going by what was on there site. And yes I realize that is not the price your going to pay now. Was just simply rounding the number.

    I think VegasMatt was talking about the realistic price, i doubt theres a whole lot of people that go to mitsu and ask for ALL of those accressories you have choosen in that pic. BUT i do get what you mean, someone would have to be stupid to pay that price.
