I'd say the Evo...IMO, it simply looks better. Although, i'd take either if some1 gave me one [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

Evo VIII looks better? Nah, I say WRX Sti looks better. Well, front of the new WRX is nice. Back of the new Evo is nice. There. Performance wise I think the Evo does a little better than the WRX. Don't know what the power to weight ratios are though. Overall I'de choose the WRX Sti though. I just love the way it looks. Kinda squished length-wise more than the Evo. The Evo is stretched out and looks like it has a narrower wheel base. Kinda icky in that respect...

Definately the WRX. I don't think the EVO VIII looks very appealing at all. That and I like the brand Subaru more than Mitsu. For the money they'd cost to get at the dealer, I'd definately go with the WRX. Its much nice looking.

once EVO gets here, the aura of it will dissipate, and won't be the car everyone lusts after.

for value for money, I'd take STi. EVO VIII is detuned for america anyway.

lots of reviews say the evo is really fast, but it is not meant for everyday driving... the steering, braking, and overall handling is cruddy, opposed to the sti which is probably a lot better for driving around town, and its still fast.

I look at it this way. The EVO VIII has a base price of what, $28k and the the Sti a base price of $32k, right? So why not take the EVO and that extra 4 grand and upgrade the car to your liking. Both are going to be great cars, I dont think you could go wrong with either.

I would have to say Impreza WRX STi.

You can't argue with 2.5L Turbo. It seems like WRX is trying harder.. they don't want to start that STi vs Evo war here. They just want to crush Mitsu and are being EXTREMELY aggressive. You gotta give them credit for this.. they even brought the original WRX out before any hotrod Lancers from Mitsu.

to Subaru for having *****, and actually giving North Americans a better engine.
