    To be honest i would think sometime soon it might depend on your dealership. I went to mine the other day and they already had the 09 galants so im guessing not much longer

    The guy at the Dealership I go to in Toronto said MAYBE September. That obviously wasn't guaranteed though.

    I drove an 08 last week, and the power actually wasn't that bad. Yes, it could be better (I'm coming from a v6 grand am), but for normal everyday highway driving it's decent. Now if they have the 09's out when I go to get mine and there is more power, of course I'll go with that.

    Why not get the RA when it's out? Alot more power and is just like the EVOx but with less power and a couple of other things.

    around how much would the 09 GTS be? does anybody know? for around 25K you can get an RA so might as well get the RA.

    Me "Why do you guys have such little amount of ES's and GTS's?"
    Salesman "Well we already sold most of our inventory, We're making space for the new 09's"

    About a month ago..
    Hope that helps.

    '09 Pricing
    http://media.mitsubishicars.com/detail? ... 4&mime=ASC

    '08 Pricing (jic u wanna compare like i did to see if i should wait)
    http://media.mitsubishicars.com/detail? ... 8&mime=ASC

    and well ya i deff decided to wait...

    '08

    Lancer GTS 4-Door DOHC MIVEC (2.0L/5M) $17,490.00 5-Speed Manual
    +Sun & Sound Package: 1500

    comes out to 18,990



    then '09

    Lancer GTS 2.4L 4-Door DOHC MIVEC (2.4L/5M) $17,990.00 5-Speed Manual
    +Sun & Sound Package: 1750

    comes out to 19,740

    ur paying about 750 more but then again, ur getting in the '09 that you wouldn't get in the '08 w/ the same package...

    a better engine
    Bluetooth(R) Phone Link
    keyless entry =)
    Subwoffer =)
    6CD/MP3 In-Dash Head Unit

    and well... just getting the Head Unit + Bluetooth alone on the '08 GTS comes out to 600.... sooo... imho... the '09 is so much of a better deal =)

    i didn't see the xenon option on there.. are they standard?

    I wish i would have waited for the 09s, i like my car but if it had the 2.4 i'd be much happier with it.

    the difference from the 2008 and 2009 is 4mm in the piston
    2008 have 152hp and 2009 have 172hp
    i will prefer to buy an intake, bosh +4 platinium spark plugs, 8mm spark plugs cable, catback, and maybe a fuel regulator and i will have more than 172hp...
    and i you guys don`t know the 2.0 resist more boost than the 2.4, because the pistons are low compression :lol:

    I was under the impression the 2.4L 2009 GTS was 168HP? Did I misread that?

    Some dealers already have them out and people already bought a few.
