Latest info I have seen is late March, early April. Looks to come in two variants, GSR and MR although the MR hasnt officially been named that in Oz yet.

Price wise $60K for the GSR and $70K for the MR. The MR includes some extra trickery like the MR version of the previous models such as Bilstein shocks etc.

Yes potentially there are some mechanical differeneces, article:

A second model, which may be branded the Lancer Evolution MR - though Australian naming has yet to be finalised - will cost around $69,000. In addition to the GSR equipment list, the MR will add lighter Enkei alloy wheels (said to save 3.7kg overall), race-ready suspension (Eibach springs and Bilstein dampers) and a high-performance two-piece front brake disc.

Mitsubishi Australia is still putting the final touches on price and specification levels, so it's not known if both models will come standard with the five-speed manual transmission, or whether the higher spec MR will get the new TC-SST semi-automatic gearbox, complete with two computer-controlled clutches.

I went to the launch of the EvoX last year with Matt Lowth and a few others. Car looks pretty good. The MR is going to kick ass over the standard EvoX though. The interior is just so much nicer. DSG style shifting and paddle shifting is also very cool.

I think I posted some pics up in a thread awhile ago.

So u gonna get one Leewang?

Nah, not getting one. After looking at it more carefully, even though the interior is prettier and it's got more safety stuff, it's too heavy and I think a IX would still be a better car for our kind of usage.

For an all rounder though, the X MR will be an ace car.

    • Have you done your thinking backwards? 3 bar, 43.5 psi pressure drop being the presumed specification for an injector, means you need 3 bar upstream when they are firing into atmospheric pressure, and more upstream pressure than that when on boost (you add your boost to your rail pressure to maintain 3 bar across the injector) and you need..... less pressure upstream when you have vacuum in the manifold. So, presuming that you're idling at -10 psi, then you only need ~23 psi in the rail. I realise that I did not need to say all of that to you specifically Matt, once you'd realised your mistake. It's mostly there for complete clarity for others.
    • Have you reached out to the guys at Spool Imports? They are a Ross dealer, I can imagine they would have the rings just sitting on the shelf (I could be wrong).  
    • There's one for sale at Grand Auto Wreckers in Lonsdale (SA), for .... let's suggest the sum they're asking for will make you cry. You may have to embrace the idea of modifying the rear subframe to accept some other diff. You could probably find a way to wangle a shortnose into there, with a custom rear adapter and some sort of shenanigans to relocate the front mounts. This has probably already been done by others, so there might be some guidance available as to how easy/impossible it is, out there in the googles. But you possibly needn't restrict yourself to Nissan diffs if you're going to contemplate that. There are similarish Toyota diffs, possibly some Euro ones, possibly some Seppo ones.
    • The ball joint taper and arm taper have to match angle and diameter, but just doing the bushes is a much better option.....seems like the industry moved to "it is cheaper to replace the whole arm than take on the labour for changing this bushes", glad the aftermarket supports it
    • Gee she looks a bit rear heavy in that first pic! Sounds like a great project with the kids, but as I guess you know R series stuff is getting hard to find and pre that is pretty much impossible these days
