In sum... Mitsu is bringing a lighter, more powerful, RS to North America. 300+ HP, Super AYC, Upgraded Suspension, and a partrige in a pear tree ummm. Sorry

Come on Subaru bring the Spec C to North America and drop the price of the standard STi by 3 grand. OO its gonna be a good fight come next year.

NICE, that'll be sweet. Let the battle begin. I agree Spec-C should come here.

No, the articles are about the MR, not the RS, and there's no indication it'll make it over here.

Dropping the STi by $3k is pretty unlikely.

i'll second that! i'd do bad, bad things for a Spec-C! too bad we don't have good enough gas to actually get full power out the 2.0 liter engie without resorting to 100 octane, or mixing your own gas

LilBlueWagon...
If you look at the article it says that the MR is lighter and has a bigger turbo... the MR options can also be put on the RS and GSR models. The turbo is bigger thats y they said it can go on the RS and GRS as a factory option. The MR is also the TOP PERFORMANCE model of any Mitsu cars, as stated in the article.

I was saying that "IF" the MR came to the states how they said it may come to Canada then Subaru should drop the price of the STi to go even against the EVO 8 and bring the Spec C over here to go against the MR.

I'll give it to you! :banana: :banana:

<----------------- Subie loyal. Just got in a wicked accident with my 03 rex. Now gettin a STi. My mom was gonna pay the difference for me to get the Dodge SRT Ram. Its a regular cab short bed with a Viper motor and 6 speed manual. We will always be able to take Mitsu, Subie wont fall short (I hope). I really like the idea of a alluminum roof (Subie designers, COUGH, COUGH).
