Evo or Civic? *56k warning

One of the brothers in my house just got a new Evo, so I thought I would share the joy with you guys. I've only gotten the chance to ride in it, not drive it, but this baby is so sweet. Only complaint I would have is that I don't like the stock altezza looking tail lights on the black color. The cars are a bit dirty, but here are some pics:














So which one would you choose? I think I might have to steal it.

I know the car flies, but dayum! Is it just me or does that thing look like the low-end of the econo segment? Like a geo metro turned into a hotrod or something...

I'm sure it's fun to drive but if you didn't know about that car's performance, how many would pick the evo over that silver civic?

I like the color though...LOL Now, if it was just a wrx.

STi and EVO have been out for many many years in other countries. It takes a few years before foreign automakers deem us worth to get a really hot car, if at all.

the back of the evo looks like **** but the front looks killer, I still like the Vic better because when driving you only see the rear most of the time

Wtf cares? If hes not running around saying HAHA MY CAR IS BETTER THAN YOURS. why do you care? Nevermind i think your right, he should have said, "mommy, daddy [to use your lingo] dont buy me a nice car, I want a bicycle." If his car is faster than yours, doesnt matter we can just go "mommy and daddy paid for it" "mommy and daddy haha" Did your parents ever buy you a toy car (like matchbox or something) ? There are people whose parents cant buy them a matchbox (think ethiopia). I guess he can go "Did your mommy and daddy buy that for you? you spoiled little brat I'm not going to admit its a cool toy cause your mommy and daddy bought it"

Yes, my parents did purchase my civic for me. No they didnt purchase my second car. Dont be a d*ck just cause someone has nice/successful parents.

And sorry I'm prolly sounding like a d*ck, but when I had my civic I had to deal with that "mommy and daddy" stuff and its really annoying and generally ahs no taste.

Oh and on the evo, I hate that stock spoiler, and I'm not a big fan of the tail lights. But it would smoke a WRX (though its not a fair comparison because the WRX costs about 6-8k less) and is a nice car. But I'd be iffy about spending 34k (dont forget dealer markups) of a mittusbishi. (sp)
