EVO X PRICE JUMP

‘Round about the middle of November, there was a collective sigh of disappointment when Subaru’s next-gen STi met a $1,500 price jump, rising to about $35K.

I guess that leads us to a collective groan when the price of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X jumps $5,321. The good news for Evo fans? Their rally-rocket is still cheaper than the STi. The bad news? The Evo X MR is an extra $5,000, although it’ll save you 1mpg in city driving.
