Rep Power: 382 The Evo's allways had something more in the handling department then the Sti, so it doesnt supprise me that when you add more power to the evo it beats the sti even more...

even the fq-300 is 54 grand, the fq-320 58 grand, 340 63 grand,
Now i believe that these numbers are a little inflated because the magazine they come form says that they are available in england, and they adjusted from quid to $. I am guessing that the market in england is different, cause $54000 for the base mr evo seems a bit high considering you can get them here for less than 40 grand. I am guessing that if the mr fq 400 every sees america than it will cost around 70 grand. Does anybody know if it ever will??

Rep Power: 312 personally, i like evo's more.. but i'd take either one. of the 2006's.. i'd almost 100% say all of us would take the evo. the new sti's have horribly ugly front ends..

umm STI looks worse. I dont think it looks bad at all. The new evo X that is
ok, since it was tested in england i assume it's not the 2.5 liter us spec sti and we know of. if that's the case then it wasn't a fair comparision. unless overseas sti now all have the 2.5?

First of all the STi around the world still use the EJ20 not the EJ25. Also the Evo is more expensive in england because its like 1.8 pounds to every dollar. I will buy and evo over an Sti anyday.

Hell YEAH.
Wish I had a Turbo 
yeah but those figures where not in quid they were in dollars, but i was thinking the market must be different and that would be the cause in different value. You think i posted quid as dollar, but i did not.
Overseas sti have more power and better handling, by the way, they are covetted here in the states.
^^Man i hope they do, and the evo nine is a king!!!!! I lOVE RALLY BREAD CARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rep Power: 0 I forsee a dramatic increase in the body kit business for the next couple of years to come. I mean seriously, what is wrong with their designers these days? We all know that timeless designs don't grow on trees, so there's a reason for making something we'll actually love, not just 'like'. It's actually worse : current 2006 designs give me nausea!
Mmmm next week. white EVO for me. No more Honda 
I wanna do the white and bronze look. sim. to this.
