My opinion? Won't happen. I hope it happens, but it won't.

Potential Mitsubishi Evo buyers revolt over dealer markups
By AUTOWEEK
Without driving cross-country to confirm reported price gouging on the hot, rally-inspired 271-hp Mitsubishi Evolution, suffice it to say that enough potential buyers are up in arms that they’ve mounted a nationwide boycott campaign.
With only 4500 to sell this year, and just 6000 annually in coming years, some dealers have reportedly tacked as much as $28,000 onto the $28,987 to $30,200 MSRP, although a more typical markup is in the $5,000-to-$10,000 range.

Huh?? with that type of markup, you could buy a loaded bmw 330 or a stripped Corvette. Who the heck would pay that kind of money for a Mitsubishi ??

So, lemme get this straight, after getting raped on the price of the car, the losers then have to deal w/ the worst dealer network in the US. Talk about two-time losers! Just wait till these poor SOB's go to Mitsu w/ a problem-every dealer I went to in Bflo (2/3) had their heads buried so far up their ass they were asking me how to fix my car!! Never again wld I buy a Mitsu, never.

Great cars to be had for $55k
a) used (very very used) M5, E55
b) new 540i 6-spd
c) new M3
d) and about a thousand other awesome cars ....
I'd love to chat w/ the guy who paid $25K over the MSRP on a new Lancer turbo... I would LOVE to talk to him or her...
me: So what's it like being clinically insane?
him/her: sweet! now that I have this awesome Mitsubishi!!
me: does food sometimes dribble out the side of your mouth when you're eating, w/o you being conscious of it?
him/her: yes!! how'd you know?
me: so I bet you've been told you're a threat to yourself and maybe even society...
him/her: <sigh> yeah... i have been told that, yes.
me: loser.

True, Mitsu has one of the worst set of dealers out there (as far as service). I have experienced it myself several times.
