These cars are starting to look decent....although they do look like a 4 door sunfire.

You're right, some are looking better. I think the Subie would still be my prefererence, but that one looks pretty good. Great car for having fun with more than one person, though!

I still think it looks better than the new STi, but Mitsu might need to revise it's electronic controls (AYC/ADC?) US introduction strategy to keep up with the Sube's...

Personal opinion: STI will decimate all. Including the style category.

I was at the auto show today, and got up close and personal with both the STi and EVO. Based on looks alone the STi owns the EVO

Are you guys sure? I thought the EVO looked great. The Subaru still looks a little awkward. But I'd take one in a second.

I personally do not like subaru's too much, and that monster hood scoop doesn't help the STI either.

The STI performance should beat the EVO slightly unless it weighs 3500lbs. Subaru did not announce final pricing or weight yet, so we'll see.

I personally like the EVO, although 3250 is pretty heavy. Hopefully Mitsu has simply overstated the weight and understated the HP.

I will be taking my evo to the dragstrip at least, so I can attempt to destroy the clutch in hopes of a 13.4

knock off weight? well if it's like the old DSM's the seats are easily removable front and back and usually weigh a ton.
