REvolution
The Lancer Evolution MR is priced at $47,498, which is $6,000 more than the 5-speed GSR. It's also interesting to note that for an extra $4,000, the car can be equipped with an upgraded Rockford Fosgate sound system with Bluetooth connectivity, a navigation system and a power sunroof.

Visually, one can recognize the MR from the GSR by the BBS alloy wheels, larger rear wing, xenon headlights, chrome grille surround and painted front fender and hood air vents.

For the first time in Canada, the Subaru Impreza WRX STI now has a rival that measures up to it.

Conclusion
A worthy successor in the Evo family, the MR shows off extraordinary competence, thanks in part to the excellent transmission that will probably become legendary. The electronic assist systems work together in incredible symphony.

My vision of the automatic transmission has just taken a complete different direction, by simply spending a few hours behind the wheel of the MR.
