because most of the people I see in evos are dumb kids who just want a fast car where most STi owners seem to be real motor sports enthusiasts,

remember most of the ricer mags (like sport compact and super street) wont budge on what they said pre STi announcement, they claimed the EVO is the end all be all car and I guess they just dont want to eat crow over it, whereas car and driver road and track etc have stood up and said the STi just blew them away.
