Evo IX - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

Bob Danger · 2005-10-24, 10:35 PM

Whats the deal, I thought the IX GSR was going to come with all the extras the VIII MRs had. Like the 6-speed tranny, and what not, but mainly the 6-speed. I was at Reno Mitsuishi today and was excited to see a IX, with the MIVECH 4G63, but became angry once I ventured into the vehicles cockpit, and saw the 5-speed shift pattern on the shift knob.

If they make a GSR that's basically as good as an MR, how do they sell MRs?

If they sell the MR, how do they sell the GSR at all!?

As I understood it, the GSR was to get the 8 MR goodies (I guess not all of them) and the new MR would have even more goodies.

Even still... the cost difference between the two cars isn't that much... and they're both pretty expensive. I don't think anyone that can afford a regular EVO, can't afford the MR... and who would want to settle?

It's not like the WRX vs. the STi in Subaru's lineup...

New Dealer for Mitsu is start better than old Reno Mitsu.
1. They start at sticker price no more market adjust BS ($3000).

I'm still waiting for $$$
EVO IX or S2000

Luckily we don't have to buy a car in Reno.

MR is heavier than GSR. 6 speed tranny is weaker than 5 speed. Go figure.
