The article also said, " you drive a Mitsubishi Evo and wonder why the Subaru STI's chassis quivers and why its steering isn't sharper. There's less understeer in the Evo and a more pronounced willingness to change direction. Where the STI punches with the substance of a middleweight, the Evo drives like a lithe flyweight."
Haha, I'm just saying, its not a bad car, its just not an EVO.

Now, you'll be asking...why is the Evo X so bad?
Or as you say it...Why is the JDM STi that DAMN good!!!
Or you might say....why don't they bring the JDM STi to America?

"Both of the Evos tested here are as close to U.S.-production specification as anyone has driven."

So it ranks the STI behind the same car, save for the IX, several times. Okay.

I think the new STi looks better than the Evo X. That said, if I were shopping between those cars I'd take none and get the Lancer Ralliart for thousands less than any of the bunch.

240HP and AWD in the mid 20's.
