WOW, you must know more than most of the motoring press.
The MR Edition has just been launched in the US. Taiwan and
Australia just got their 8s. And the UK's MR was only launched last
month. It doesn't make sense for Mitsubishi to launch the 9 so soon
as it will cannibalize sales.
Besides, there is no such thing as wait for the next one.. if you
wait for the 9, there'll be a 10 sooner or later.. ditto wif
PCs.
The truth is, most Evo owners are still enjoying their cars, even
if there are newer models available. Each revision is an
incremental evolutionary upgrade.
And once you start modifying, you will find that the upgraded
components are very similar across the same 4G63 platform.
