No matter what... $40K for a Mitsubishi is crazy. What, they think they have the former Lexus spokesperson that they can now charge Lexus prices???

For something $40K+, the car has to have more than just performance, it has to have the quality, reliability, and luxury everyday love to make it worth the buy. I'm basing this purely on past experience and I really doubt this EVO will have any of these qualities.

Sorry... big FAIL for me.

They have not produced anything thats was worth that kind of money in their entire history. I think they are a bit crazy.

I'd definitely go that route for the money.

I like the new Evo but something tells me they'll be lowering prices in a desperate attempt to move inventory late next year...because like many of you are stating, there are more realistic vehicles out there for the money....and banks probably are not lending the way they used to.......

For 45-50K I'd take a used NSX over an EVO anyday

I'll stick with my 2007 wrx.... 329hp/339tq to the wheels on a mustang dyno; daily driver, paid 23k for the car, and about $5k in mods...works great and it's good reliable all season fun.

used NSX probably doesn't cost that much.
