Rep Power: 0 $55,000??!?!
WTF.. ahhh... it's a little over priced. They'll still sell it all for sure..
But if I had the cash-o-la, I'd rather buy the G35 premium (brembo brakes, aero kit, 18's, etc), and SAVE 8 thousand dollars (for 20in rims??)...
$55,000 is too hard to swallow, for a Subaru that goes really fast.

Rep Power: 0 Yeah i agree with CUe and Narc, i would spend my cash on the evo 8 and soup it up . IS the evo coming to Canada ?? man i know that the US already have a waiting list for that ride man !! Would it be cheaper then the STI ?
the STI are going gor 55,000 on the road. my friends Dad is like sales manager at erin mill subaru and he said the STI's are all sold out, every single one gets sold everytime they get one. I asked him to take one home so i can take it for a spin, but he said not even he the managers nor the sales rep can take those out as demos.

Rep Power: 0 I'd take the subaru... Hands down! Why, well it's quicker (13.1), You can manually control the diff... It's only like $2 000 more than the evo... The Evo has a NASTY *** interior! Plus the evo is only a 2.0 and not to much more room for performance potential... The subaru has ALOT more potential over the evo!
magazines give EVO8 the nod, but for average joes like most of us wont give a hoot...
STI does have much nicer interior, EVO is just downright LANCER, worse than our civics.
I saw STI 4 weeks ago driving down the highway.... with no plates... LOL.... awesome throaty sound that thing makes, ^^

Rep Power: 0 i saw an STI around a month ago at Nagoya (Bayview and 16th)...
the owner seemed pretty happy that other passerby's in the plaza were checking out his car...

i pick STi no question ask. as for price, it is somewhat hard to swallow but damn 300/300 is hard number to get on any stock car. wish it was twin turbo for that money...
ultimate racing imported the 1ST mitsu evo 8 in the whole canada

Rep Power: 0 Hmm now it sounds like just a matter of time until Skyline is unleashed. Probably when they come out with R36 or whatever is next on order.
Be pretty cool if they bring it here... it'll be like the old days again, when every jap car maker had a high performance car.
Nissan's Old: 300ZX
Nissan's New: 350Z, hopefully soon Skyline GT-R
Honda's Old: NSX (still around, but nobody's buying)
Honda's New: S2000
Mazda's Old: RX-7 Twin Turbo
Mazda's New: RX-8
Subaru's Old: SVX
Subaru's New: Impeza WRX STi
Mitsu's Old: 3000GT VR4
Mitsu's New: Lancer EvoVIII
Toyota's Old: Supra Turbo
Toyota's New: ???
Okay, somebody here needs an image sports car FAST!!

Rep Power: 0 Dang I heard the STi is expensive and I guess it is, if i was serious about buying I would definately need to look at the options, for that price you can get a bimmer or something luxury, the STi looks pretty good and is all performance I believe, but i think the interior is crust? Guess can't have everything
but bimmer doesnt offer 300hp at the $55000 range...so either get a M3 that is 80000+ or STi
net: teh sti interior improved alot compare to the older impreza. have u seen the interior of GC8? those are plain ugly period. the new age wrx are alright but still not as nice as honda, acura, mazda..etc

will toyota brings out a redesigned supra in the future?
from 01Coupe's list, seems liek toyota are out of the sport car market now cuz they focus in the minivan and truck segment.
i like the MR-S in USA but too slow with only 140HP, love MR2 turbo...damn, and why discontinued the supra? i know they are not selling but i seen more supra than nsx (nsx are still on sale but rare special order at the dealer)

i agree net, bimmer comes with so many cool **** and gotta love HID on cars that came wuth it stock
does the STi come with HID?
but the turbo spool sound > inline 6 sound IMO
leather seats is also good on the bimmer...too bad STi has no leather seats but gotta love the seude inserts in the middle

Evo 8 is going to come to Canada but tis going to be less horsepower than the one in the states (due to Canadian Road Laws) ...When I bought my Eclipse that was my first question
