The EVO does not have anything like a 4000 rpm governor to protect the engine during break-in.

It would surprise me if the BNR35 was more than $60,000. It's not characteristic of Japanese vehicles to go much higher than that (with the exception of the NSX, of course).

I remember reading in either R&T or Car & Driver that the GTR would be somewhere in the $50k-60k range when it arrives here in the US.

I hate to say it, but I dont think the evo is going to lose much value throughout the years. It's a beast now and it will continue to be a beast throughout the years. If you think about it, the evo is the equivalent to the Chevele for the y-gen crowd (such as myself) and when was the last time anyone saw a chevele sell for less than original price (ok so the money difference in thirty years has something to do with it, but you guys see where I'm comming from)

Did anyone get the email message from that joker who called everyone on this post "ghey ricer wannabes?" I'm still laughing. LIttle does he know, that with an evo you get your money's worth. For the same money as an evo, all our teutonic snob friend can get a hoold of is a low end 3-series. IT's funny, he doesnt know he's paying more for the hood orniment than anything else. Dont get me wrong, I love beemers, but guys like that give them a bad name.

As far as resale on EVO's in the near future a lot will depend on future model upgrades which could drive down the price on earlier models and long term history. They seem to be getting a bad name for early clutch wear out already, and given Mitsu's history of below average quality and service it'll be interesting to see the used market on em in say 5-6 years.
