Before they start offering upscale amenities for the evo, they need to start offering better quality service at their dealers before continuing to pursue to BMW and Benz owners. Soon or later we going to see evos like we see accords on the road. And that will be a very sad day. I'm really interested in what will happen to evos as far as what new advances they will have in-store for future evos.

I doubt they will be as common as accords- in fact you're contradicting yourself a little since it doesn't sound like you believe they will be successful going up against BMW and MB. Mitsu's in a tough spot- their marquee product is too expensive for young people to afford (and there are a lot of people who have used ridiculous 72 month and greater loans to buy evos on pizza delivery budgets) and doesn't have the brand cachet of BMW. I'll probably buy an X but I think resale is going to suck on them so I'll wait a few years, sell my IX MR and buy an X for a net difference of $5K.
