Default EvoVIII vs WRX Sti

The newest versions of the 2 great rivals. Both cars have 4 cylinder turbocharged engines, they have similair power, torque, the same goes to the price. The Mitsubishi is slightly faster around the track...but which would you pick ??

Sccoby. EVO looks bad, and Scooby got more soul, and looks of course.

i'm partial to the EVO 8's. i saw one in that sweet blue color and it was quite a sight.
plus, from that Tiff review a while back where he pitted those AWD cars together, it seemed like Mitsubishi made a more "sideways" oriented system for it 8)

Id say the EVO VIII. I just think that car is great, especially the MR which has even more power and a cool color. Evo VIII also outperforms the STI, and I just think IMO, that it looks better considereing that Ive been in one and I loved it.

An EVO in FQ300 guise, seen many around and IMO they look smart, and they r bloody rapid!! In red or black as well.

I'm loyal to Subaru. So im gonna say Subaru for sure. Although I do like the EVO VIII...whats the differences between the normal EVOVIII and the MR?

I love both cars, and have driven both. I felt that Rex is more matured, and it is more tolerable under city driving and bringing friends and family around, yet when you demand power, it is instantly there. Evo however is more hardcore, meant for those who treat every corner as a challenge.

Ahem!! Evo for me please....

Besides that F#@$ing wing on the back, the EVO just looks SOOOO plain. It's just boring to look at I think, The styling is much better on the STI in my opinion,

mitsubishi's image in the US is a startup econocar maker (a wannabe honda)

suburu's image in the us is a quirky 4wd econo-snowplow-wagon maker. (a weird wannabe volvo/audi? 'cept subroo's been in 4wd long b4 the quattros)

I'll take STi by a narrow margin, do they have an STi wagon?
