have any of you noticed that there aren't many on the road? i bought mine back in june and have had the chance to see only a handfull on the road. don't get me wrong but that is a good thing. the problem with that is that many performance parts will not be available. my goal is to add forced induction, and maybe a race inspired suspension. the car has potential, but it wont be met unless people start buying. Whats wrong with everyone!!!

For me it's price tag & lack of iPod integration. I heard Mitsubishi has a 0% APR financing for the next 5 years and was ready to go in and purchase but found out it was just for 2005 cars :(

I am the parts manager at a Mitsu dealer in detroit. We have sold everyone, plus they are sort of limited still . When I ordered my 06 GT 6speed Titatnium, it took over a month and a half for it to be built and delivered. Don't worry, they will be out there , plus most of the dealers are only ordering GT's at the moment. Let the older people with some money get the GT's out on the road, and then I am sure you will start seeing a lot of 4cyl models out there.

If a car maker sells a car for 25,000 then gives you a 3000 rebate or employee discount pricing and has a crapy reliabilty record thats what will affect the resale value or residual value of the car.
