To me, it'll be a 4 door Eclipse GS-X

basic cost vs. performance compromise
would you be willing to shell out near $40k for a LanEvo???

I think EVO is going to be a lot more expensive then 26K+. If WRX tops out at about 30K loaded with everything possible, and have about 50 Bhp less then EVO, Mitsu engineers would have to be pretty damn good designing a car this cheap. We know that WRX STi is on its way here, and EVO its direct opponent. I would say that the price could very well reach into the 40K+ range.

maybe they'll come with a LanEvo on Steroids edition, with all the extra stuff, and only sells like 1000 a year or something like that.
I guess that could work, since they already have all the parts available, won't cost them too much in development.

the new motor trend that's not out yet (don't ask how i have it) says it will be right at $28K base. 271HP, 5spd and as The Man said it doesn't have any of the computer controlled goodies. Supossedly the STi will be a similar cost and the WRX base will go down a little...we'll see....
