I drove one the other day as well... was bored and just bullshitted my way through a potential sale... hehe. Was pretty nice, I drove the 2.4L Mivec 5 speed. Seems pretty much like my buddy's Lancer Ralliart, but different car. Very nice I think, big improvement over the 3G. The one i drove was like 20-22K depending on package. The GT which has the V6 in it was alot nicer with leather, 18s, etc etc etc, 260hp Mivec 3.8L. I think the price for the GT is justified. Its a powerful V6 getting up there with all the other competitors like Nissan and Honda. Im sure with a little work the GT would be 300hp and all kinds of fun, but sadly still FWD.
